Abstract: A system (100) has a storage medium (110) that contains a number of storage units (108). A multimedia title is stored in the storage medium (110) as a number of blocks, whereby some of the blocks are stored multiple times such that different storage units (108) contain a copy of that block. Retrieving blocks from the storage medium (110) for supply to a user is executed in cycles and the system has for some of the blocks the freedom to choose from which of the storage units (108) the block is retrieved in order to balance the load on the storage units (108). Furthermore, the system (100) is arranged to look ahead a number of cycles to determine what blocks in the near future are necessary and to retrieve these future blocks earlier if the storage units are not yet fully occupied. The additional freedom to schedule retrieval of a block at earlier moments in time provides a further mechanism to balance the load on the storage units.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un ensemble soufflante de turbomoteur comportant des pales de soufflantes espacées axialement des aubes de stator à l'intérieur du canal de dérivation annulaire. Une pluralité de chicanes perforées sont montées dans la canal de dérivation annulaire en aval des aubes de stator. Les chicanes perforées, qui s'étendent dans une direction généralement axiale, sont espacées les une des autres de manière circonférentielle et irrégulière pour diviser une section supérieure du canal de dérivation annulaire en un ensemble de segments de trajets d'écoulement selon une configuration asymétrique pour interrompre la continuité, supprimer le motif symétrique et absorber l'énergie sonore du mode de rotation des pressions sonores contenues dans l'écoulement d'air en aval des aubes de stator, sans affecter sensiblement la poussée provoquée par l'écoulement d'air lorsque celui-ci est déchargé du canal de dérivation. L'invention propose une solution pour supprimer la propagation sonore vers l'arrière d'un signal filtre passe-bande (BFP) de soufflante et ses harmoniques supérieures, via le canal de dérivation annulaire d'un turbomoteur, qui contribue à la réduction du bruit des aéronefs, particulièrement lors du décollage.
