A propulsion system includes two gas turbine engines and an air-provisioning system. The air-provisioning system includes a first ejector, a second ejector, a plenum fluidically connected with the first ejector and the second ejector, and a first propulsor. The air-provisioning system is configured to bleed and mix air from each gas turbine engine in the ejectors so as to provide selectively a flow of plenum air from the plenum to the first propulsor at a desired pressure and a desired flow rate to power the first propulsor.

Air-provisioning system with ejectors

A smoking article filter includes a recess to receive a filter insert unit. The filter insert unit is secured to the filter once inserted. The filter and the filter insert unit may include additives such as flavourants, colourants or sorbents.

Smoking article filter and insertable filter unit therefor

An insertable filter unit for insertion into a smoking article filter having a recess, wherein the insertable filter unit includes an outer casing defining a cavity for storing a smoke modifying agent, and wherein the insertable filter unit is arranged to be inserted into the recess of the smoking article filter by a user.

Insertable filter unit

Packaging for an attachable unit for a smoking article The invention relates to packaging () for an attachable unit () for a smoking article () comprising a receiver () to receive an attachable unit and a guide () for aligning the smoking article with the attachable unit when the attachable unit is received by the receiver such that the attachable unit can be attached to the smoking article. The invention also relates to packaging for an attachable unit for a smoking article comprising a receptacle or receiver in which the attachable unit is receivable and a gripping mechanism () to releasably hold the attachable unit within the receptacle or receiver when the attachable unit is received in the receptacle or receiver.

A smoking article filter () comprises a recess () to receive a filter insert unit (). The filter insert unit () is secured to the filter () once inserted. The filter () and the filter insert unit () may comprise additives such as flavourants, colourants or sorbents.

A fluidic device for providing analogue output control includes a main channel, a first control channel, a second control channel, a comparator which receives respective input fluid flows from the main, the first and the second control channels. The first control channel is configured such that the input fluid flow therefrom carries an oscillating pressure wave signal, the second control channel includes a flow regulator controllable to vary the mass flow rate of the input fluid flow from the second control channel, and the main channel is configured such that the input fluid flow therefrom is at a reference mass flow rate. The comparator is configured such that the input fluid flows from the first control and the second control channels act in combination on the input fluid flow from the main channel to produce an output fluid flow from the comparator having a PWM mass flow rate characteristic.

Fluidic device

A sleeve () for holding a plurality of elongate elements () positioned in end-to-end relationship is disclosed. The sleeve has an elongate body () with opposite ends () and a space () defined therebetween to receive the elongate elements (). The elongate body has an opening () between the ends () that is configured to enable a user to contact elongate elements () received in the sleeve () through the opening () and push them along, and out of one end of the sleeve ().

Sleeve

An aircraft gas turbine engine has first and second electrical harnesses formed from respective first and second flexible printed circuit boards which each provides a plurality of spaced conductive tracks. The conductive tracks carry signal types which either (i) provide engine control and can cause hazardous engine conditions in the event of their failure, (ii) detect or prevent hazardous conditions of the engine, or (iii) are not of type (i) and/or of type (ii). The first flexible printed circuit board provides all the conductive tracks which carry signals of type (i) or the first flexible printed circuit board provides all the conductive tracks which carry signals of type (ii). The second flexible printed circuit board provides all the remaining conductive tracks. The first electrical harness is fire-resistant for a period of five minutes without any exposure of its conductive tracks so that the conductive tracks can carry their signals.

Electrical harnesses

The present invention relates to a package for smoking articles comprising a container portion () and a lid (). The lid is hingedly connected to the containerportion () to enclose a space defined by the container portion () when the lid () is closed. The lid () includes an end portion () and a wall () extending from the end portion () that overlaps a wall () of the container portion () when closed. A flap () extends from a face of one of said walls having a free end (), and a cut-out () is formed in the other of said walls,wherein one of the cut-out () or the free end () of the flap () has a first edge () and a second edge (). The first edge is offset from the second edge such that, when the lid () is moved to a closed position, said first edge locates over the free end () of the flap () or the cut-out () before the second edge locates over the free end of the flap orthe cut-out.
