Abstract: An annular combustion chamber of a turbomachine is described. The combustion chamber has an axis of revolution and is delimited by coaxial internal and external annular walls joined upstream by a bottom of chamber substantially transverse to the walls. In some embodiments, the chamber includes at least one annular deflector placed in the chamber and substantially parallel to the bottom of chamber. The bottom of chamber may have openings adapted to be traversed by air for cooling the deflector. In some embodiments, the bottom of chamber and the deflector include mounting openings for mounting an annular row of injection devices for injecting a mixture of air and fuel into the chamber. At least a portion of the air for cooling the deflector is conveyed into the chamber through holes in the injection devices.

Abstract: The inventors surprisingly found that FXR plays a determinant role in the maintenance of viral episome in cells from tissues that are not specialized in bile salt synthesis and transport as the liver or the intestine. In particular, the inventors show that FXR agonist could be suitable for inhibiting the replication of viruses (e.g. BKV and HIV-1) that persist in the cell in an episomal and extrachromosomal form of DNA. Accordingly the present invention relates to a method of reducing persistence and expression of an episomal virus in a subject in need thereof comprising administrating to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of a FXR agonist.

Abstract: The provision of air passage holes through a wall of a gas turbomachine combustion chamber. Multi-perforations are virtually positioned and distributed, even in a first safety zone without air passage openings. Multi-perforations with a virtual inlet or outlet in this first security zone are virtually removed. According to certain criteria, at least some of said removed multi-perforations are then virtually reintegrated, and, from then on a perimeter passing through the virtual inlets and outlets of all the multi-perforations present is defined, in the direction of a primary or dilution hole to be installed, a modified safety zone is defined, then, respecting around said hole and with the freedom to reposition it within this limit, the shape of this hole is redefined.

Abstract: An annular turbine engine combustion chamber wall including air admission orifices to create zones of steep temperature gradient, and cooling orifices to enable the air flowing on the cold side to penetrate to the hot side in order to form a film of cooling air along the annular wall, the annular wall being further includes, in the zones of steep temperature gradient, multi-perforation holes having respective bends of an angle ? greater than 90°, the angle ? being measured between an inlet axis Ae and an outlet axis As of the multi-perforation hole, the outlet axis of the multi-perforation hole being inclined at an angle ?3 relative to the normal N to the annular wall through which the multi-perforation holes with bends are formed, in a “gyration” direction that is at most perpendicular to the axial flow direction D of the combustion gas.

Abstract: An annular combustion chamber with an axis of revolution of a turbine engine delimited by coaxial inner and outer annular walls joined upstream by a substantially transverse bottom of the chamber, the chamber further comprising at least one annular deflector placed in the chamber and substantially parallel to the bottom of the chamber the bottom of the chamber having orifices designed to be passed through by the impact cooling air of the deflector and coming from upstream. The deflector is attached to the inner and outer walls in a sealed manner, and the cooling air of the deflector is discharged from the chamber through exhaust holes formed in the inner and outer walls.

Abstract: A combustion chamber for a turbine engine, in particular for an aircraft turbojet engine or turboprop engine. The combustion chamber includes a radially outer annular shroud, a radially inner annular shroud coaxial with the radially outer shroud, and an end wall connecting the radially outer shroud and the radially inner shroud. The combustion chamber further includes a first annular sealing member coaxial with said radially inner and outer shrouds. The first annular sealing member is radially interposed between the end wall and the radially outer shroud.

Abstract: The invention relates to a cosmetic composition comprising at least one extract from the orchid Dendrobium chrysotoxum as an active agent and at least one cosmetically acceptable excipient. The invention relates to the use in a cosmetic composition of an extract from the orchid Dendrobium chrysotoxum as an active agent for preventing or delaying the appearance of the signs of skin ageing or for slowing or attenuating the effects thereof, or else also for promoting cell or tissue longevity. The invention in particular relates to an orchid extract inhibiting the expression and/or the activity of the mitochondrial protein Smac/DIABLO.
