Abstract: A device for connecting a fixed turbine engine portion and a distributor foot of a turbine engine turbine is provided. The device includes a ring-shaped body adapted so as to be connected and secured to the fixed turbine engine portion, and two ring-shaped upstream and downstream brackets secured to the body, both brackets being adapted so as to clamp the foot of the distributor. At least one bracket is interrupted by forming an expansion or retraction slot, the slot allowing an expansion of the bracket tending to close the slot or retraction of the bracket tending to further open the slot, under the effect of a difference in internal temperatures of the device.

Abstract: A device (1) for connecting a fixed turbine engine portion (2) and a distributor (3) foot (31) of a turbine engine turbine, comprising a ring-shaped flange (111), the flange (111) being adapted so as to be connected and secured to the fixed turbine engine portion (2) and to the foot (31) of the distributor, the device being characterized in that it further comprises a ring-shaped screen (9), the screen (9) being connected and secured to the flange (111) so as to be positioned in an upstream chamber (4) made between the fixed turbine engine portion (2) and the flange (111) so as to at least partly block heat radiation from the fixed turbine engine portion (2) and directed towards the flange (111).

Abstract: Polynucleotides and oligonucleotides for identification of species of the Streptococcus genus and the Enterococcus genus are provided. The polynucleotides and oligonucleotides are useful as probes and primers. Polypeptides expressed by the polynucleotides and oligonucleotides are useful for the preparation of monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies that recognize the polypeptides.
