Abstract: A fastening device for a cleaning device by introducing pressure waves through a hollow nozzle into a boiler to be cleaned through an opening in the boiler wall has a housing body, which can be fastened to the boiler wall with the aid of a fastening flange on the boiler side, the hollow nozzle being concentric with the opening in the boiler wall and orthogonal to the boiler axis. Damping units are arranged at regular angular intervals around the hollow nozzle in the longitudinal direction thereof and are each fastened with one free end to the boiler-side fastening flange and with the respective other free end to the housing body. When the pressure waves are triggered, the housing body is resiliently retained in the longitudinal direction away from the boiler and brought back into the initial position.

Abstract: The specification provides an improved media formulation to enhance the viability of chondrocytes in stored biological samples. The formulation includes Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium (DMEM), doxycycline, and hyaluronic acid, in concentrations sufficient to maintain the chondrocytes' viability significantly longer than DMEM alone. This formulation allows biological samples containing chondrocytes to retain high viability rates for extended periods to be suitable for transplant purposes, such as in osteochondral tissue transplantation.

Abstract: A gas turbine of an aircraft includes start-up system configured to drive a shaft of the gas turbine in rotation. The start-up system includes a control system and a brushless asynchronous electric machine and is supplied with a DC voltage. A method for starting the gas turbine includes the steps of converting the DC voltage into a three-phase voltage control system based on a first value representative of a rotational speed of a rotor of the electric machine and on a second value representative of a ratio of a determined target torque of the electric machine, suitable for driving the rotation of a shaft of the gas turbine at a determined speed, to the maximum theoretical torque that the electric machine is able to produce at the determined rotational speed of the rotor.

Abstract: A system and method for mitigating thermal loading between engine exhaust structures having different coefficients of thermal expansion.
