Abstract: A turbomachine blade that includes an airfoil that includes an intrados wall, an extrados wall, a leading edge, a trailing edge, an internal cavity and a plurality of cooling holes made in the walls and leading and trailing edges, each cooling hole connecting the internal cavity to the exterior, one end of each cooling hole opening up into the cavity, the other end of each cooling hole opening to the exterior through an outlet, wherein the cooling holes are distributed in at least one first alignment and a second alignment made in a wall of the airfoil, wherein this outlet of at least one of the cooling holes belonging to at least the second alignment is an oblong shape with its long dimension along the principal direction of said second alignment.

Abstract: The system comprises audio headsets able to apply audio processing operations in response to presets that are common to all the headsets, smart terminals provided with audio flow generation means, and communication means to transmit to the headsets an audio flow and presets to be applied to this flow. A preset server memorises the presets associated with works. Certain terminals can generate presets and transmit them to the server, whereas other terminals collect these presets to apply them to the corresponding works at the time of reproducing these latter.

Abstract: This headset comprises two earphones (10), each comprising a generally ring-shaped, flexible circumaural or supra-aural pad (16), mounted on a shell (14) receiving a transducer (30). The headset comprises an electronic circuitry powered by a battery, and a battery recharging circuit connected to at least one inductive-coupling recharging coil (20). The coil is housed in a pad (16), and it is housed in a region of the pad (16) that is close to an outer limit plane, on the wearer side, of the envelope (16a, 16b) of the pad, for example near a seam (C) between two portions (16a, 16b) of an envelope of the pad.

Abstract: The system comprises audio headsets (200, 400) able to apply audio processing operations in response to presets that are common to all the headsets, smart terminals (300, 500) provided with audio flow generation means, and communication means to transmit to the headsets an audio flow and presets to be applied to this flow. A preset server (100) memorises the presets associated with works. Certain terminals (300) can generate presets and transmit them to the server, whereas other terminals (500) collect these presets to apply them to the corresponding works at the time of reproducing these latter.

Abstract: Home electronic automation equipment to be controlled is selected from among several predefined groups of equipment, via capacitive sensors which are disposed next to one another on a control unit. A predefined group of equipment is selected by activating individual capacitive sensors. At least one additional group of equipment is selected via a predetermined sequence for activating several of the same capacitive sensors, of which at least two capacitive sensors are non-adjacent sensors.

Abstract: A group of home automation equipment (111-114) to be controlled is selected from among several predefined groups of equipment, via sensitive zones (Z1, Z2, Z3, Z4) of a control unit (102), each of these sensitive zones being associated with a capacitive sensor and being disposed next to one another on the control unit. A predefined group of equipment associated with a given sensitive zone (Z1, Z2, Z3, Z4) is selected by activating the capacitive sensor of that sensitive zone. At least one additional group of equipment, different from the equipment corresponding to each sensitive zone, is selected via a predetermined sequence (Z1-Z2-Z3-Z4) for activating several capacitive sensors, of which at least two capacitive sensors correspond to two non-adjacent sensitive zones (Z1-Z2-Z3-Z4).

Abstract: The kit comprises a helmet unit with a microphone, earpieces, circuits for processing and amplifying an audio signal, and for coupling with a remote telephone. A self-contained wireless remote control is releasably fittable on the handlebar. The remote control is in the form of a resilient clamp having two movable branches united by a hinge provided with resilient return means enabling it to be placed around the handlebar. The resilient return means then urge the two branches to clamp onto the handlebar in order to hold the device close to the fingers of the user who can thus access the various function keys of the remote control.
