You claim that if related to Bleed recovery, there can be no claim of RamJet.

The inventor claims the opposite, that his Recovery Bleed system is a "Partial Ramjet".
You are mixing things up again! My earlier remarks were specifically directed at the flow that starts at the shock trap bleed and passes over the outside of the engine as cooling air. This is not in any way a ramjet.

The inventor's remarks relate to the internal bleed off the compressor returned to the engine aft of the turbine. Whether or not this can be regarded as a partial ramjet has been thrashed to death already in this thread.
