Abstract: A sun gear for a mechanical gearbox of an aircraft turbomachine, the sun gear having an annular shape around an axis and including an internal annular part having at its internal periphery coupling grooves, an external annular part having at its external periphery at least one meshing tooth, the external part extending around the internal part, and an annular veil connecting the internal and external parts. At least one of the internal and external parts can include two independent rings, each having grooves or teeth, and the veil can have two annular branches connected respectively to the two rings.

Abstract: The implant (12) according to the invention comprises a tubular frame (16), a plurality of distal arms (18) capable of pressing on a first face of a tissue, and a plurality of proximal arms (20) having an end (62) connected to the frame and a free end (64) intended to press on a second face of the tissue to clamp the tissue. The implant comprises a first integral assembly including a first part (38) of the frame and the proximal arms (20), and a second integral assembly including a second part of the frame (40) and the distal arms (18), the first assembly and the second assembly being attached one on top of the other. The first part (38) of the frame is in the form of a proximal sleeve, extending longitudinally between a proximal end (41) and a distal end (43) of the sleeve. The connected end (62) of each proximal arm (20) is connected to the distal end (43) of the proximal sleeve (38), and the free end (64) of each proximal arm (20) extends beyond that distal end (43) of the proximal sleeve (38).

Abstract: Rare earth glass-polishing compositions of improved homogeneity and reproducibility are prepared by (a) simultaneously continuously admixing a cerium salt solution, a basic solution and a solution of at least one acid and/or one salt, the anion or anions of which being adopted to form insoluble rare earth compounds, the number of equivalents of base being equal to or greater than the number of equivalents of cerium, and the pH of the reaction medium being greater than about 6; (b) filtering the precipitate which results from the reaction medium; (c) drying said recovered precipitate; and (d) calcining said dried precipitate.

Abstract: Cerium based glass polishing compositions, well adapted for the polishing, e.g., of optical glass, are comprised of (i) at least one crystalline phase of CeO.sub.2 type, and (ii) a crystalline phase which comprises a rare earth pyrosilicate having the formula Ln.sub.2-x Ce.sub.x Si.sub.2 O.sub.7, wherein Ln is at least one lanthanide or yttrium and x is a number ranging from zero to less than 2.
