Abstract: A self-adapting gas turbine firebox with variable geometry includes at least one system with variable opening for automatically adjusting a combustion configuration inside a combustion chamber according to an air temperature, particularly of air from a compressor. The adjustment is performed by a thermosensitive member that controls at least one cross-sectional area of a passage to the combustion chamber, for air which participates in the combustion of fuel or participates in a dilution of gases effective inside the combustion chamber.

Abstract: System (10) for detecting the position of a mobile or immobile entity (20) in a defined space (30), characterized in that it includes: means (40) of detecting the presence of said entity in at least two partially overlapping observation areas (Z1, Z2) of said space, said means being adapted for collecting at least one piece of immobile presence information (Ip) and one piece of movement information (Im) of said entity in each of said observation areas, processing means (50) which are adapted for carrying out logic operations on at least a portion of said information collected for each of said observation areas, decision means (60), which are connected to the processing means and adapted for controlling an action on the basis of a logic signal generated by the processing means.

Abstract: A structural element used for attenuating aviation turbine noise is provided with pores (1, 2) embodied in the form of cylindrical channels which are open on the first ends inside the turbine housing and closed on the opposite ends thereof, wherein the diameter (D) of each channel ranges approximately from 0.1 to 0.3 mm, each channel is remote at least along one part of the length thereof from the closest neighbors at a minimum distance ranging approximately from 0.02 to 0.3 mm and the ratio between the channel length and diameter thereof is of the order of 102.
