Abstract: The field of mobile telephony and, more particularly to accessing podcast content from mobile telephones is disclosed. More precisely, a method and a system for downloading a podcast on a Web server onto a mobile terminal, the method including: a step of a platform storing the address of the podcast at the request of a user on the mobile telecommunications network, a step of the platform verifying the update of the podcast and downloading the updated podcast onto this platform, a step of the platform sending the mobile terminal an address on the platform to allow said downloaded podcast to be downloaded by the mobile terminal via the mobile network, and a step of the terminal actually downloading the podcast stored on the platform via the mobile network.

Abstract: The aim of the present invention is a process for manufacturing boron nitride fibers, in particular continuous boron nitride fibers with good mechanical properties, which may be used for producing ceramic composite materials such as BN/BN composites, thermostructural parts or antenna radomes. It provides and uses a precursor polymer of formula (I) below: in which n is a whole number, R1 and R2, identical or different, represent independently an alkyl group, and R3 represents an amino group, a hydrogen atom, an alkyl, a cycloalkyl or a boryl.

Abstract: The invention concerns a method for making boron nitride fibers by drawing a polymer precursor and treating with ceramics the polymer fibers obtained by drawing. The invention is characterized in that the precursor polymer is obtained by thermal polymerization of a borazine of formula (I) wherein: R1, R3, R4 and R5, identical or different, represent an alkyl, cycloalkyl or aryl group; and R2 represents a hydrogen atom or an alkyl, cycloalkyl or aryl group.

Abstract: A fluid flow power generating system is disclosed. The system includes a foil for accelerating the velocity of a fluid flow past said foil, to increase the fluid's kinetic energy. A turbine is located downstream of the foil, and at least partially behind the foil, and the turbine is driven by the fluid. The foil shields the upwind side of the turbine. A generator is also connected to the turbine for generating electrical energy. The turbine is mounted relative to the foil, so the position of the turbine relative to said foil can be adjusted to expose more or less of the turbine to the fluid flow. In one embodiment there are provided a plurality of individual systems which form a tower.
