Abstract: A double-flow turbomachine has an exhaust casing through which a hot primary flow passes and surrounded by a cold secondary flow, and a cone carried by the exhaust casing. The exhaust casing has a hollow radial arm passing through the primary flow to convey air into the cone in order to form a cooling flow for components located in the cone. The cone has an outer wall and an inner wall which runs alongside the outer wall and is radially spaced therefrom to delimit a thermal insulation space through which the cooling flow passes from upstream to downstream before it is discharged through an outlet opening at the end of the conc. It has an inner cover surrounding a component to channel the cooling flow so that it runs along the component to cool it before passing through the thermal insulation space to be discharged there.

Abstract: A content delivery system for delivering an audio and/or video content to a mobile terminal is deployed on top of a mobile network and includes plural edge cache servers arranged using a star or hierarchical topology. The edge cache servers are connected to respective aggregation nodes of the mobile network such that a configurable breakout function of the nodes enables routing thereto packets addressed to an anycast addressing associated with the servers. When receiving a request, from the mobile terminal, for obtaining a manifest file of the audio and/or video content, an edge cache controller of the content delivery system creates a session identifier including a unicast addressing part pointing to the controller, and redirects the mobile terminal to the anycast addressing of the servers. The servers then obtain the session identifier from the mobile terminal and use the unicast addressing contained therein to receive context information from the controller.
