Abstract: A strut (1) fixed to a main portion of turbojet stator carries a ring (5) by a pair of hooks (4, 6) on one side and joining lips (7 and 8) on the other side. In accordance with the invention, the seal is made on the flat sides (10, 11) adjacent to the lips by elastic deflection of the tabs (13) pushing back one of the lips (7). The tabs (13) can also determine the tangential positioning of the ring (5).

Abstract: A system for providing video-on-demand service, broadband internet access and other broadband services over T-carrier systems including a pull multiplexer cherrypicker at the head end is disclosed. The pull multiplexer receives upstream requests and cull out MPEG or other compressed video packets, IP packets and other data packet types to satisfy the requests or to send pushed programming downstream. The downstream can be DSL or HFC. Each customer has a cable modem, DSL modem or a gateway which interfaces multiple signal sources to a LAN to which settop decoders, digital phones, personal computers, digital FAX machines, video cameras, digital VCRs etc. can be attached. Each gateway can coupled the LAN to a DSL line or HFC through a cable modem or a satellite dish through a satellite transceiver. A PSTN and conventional TV antenna interface is also provided.

Abstract: A gas-flow exhaust assembly for a jet propulsion system of an aircraft in which a converging exhaust nozzle (4) is fitted with translating cold flaps (21, 22). The primary exhaust nozzle (4) comprises two hot-flaps (5, 6) situated beyond a primary duct (1) enclosed by an aircraft fairing (2). The fairing (2) is extended by a secondary exhaust nozzle (20) which is supported by the primary duct (1) and which is translatable by a control mechanism (27a, 27b). The secondary exhaust nozzle (20) comprises cold flaps (21, 22) which are driven by another control mechanism (29a, 29b) independently of the angular positions of the hot flaps (5, 6). Preferably, there are two eyelid-shaped cold-flaps (21, 22) hinging and supported on horizontal transverse shafts (23a, 23b). The shafts (23a, 23b) are preferably affixed on two lateral slides (24a, 24b) which slide on the primary duct (1) and are displaceable by the control mechanism (27a, 27b) which translates the secondary exhaust nozzle (20).
