The auxiliary device being able to store, generate and/or convert energy during transportation, transferring energy continuously from said at least one auxiliary device to said one or more shafts of the rotating means during transportation or stand still, and moving said one or more shafts of the rotating means continuously or discontinuously from a position to another. The invention also relates to a nacelle for a wind turbine, an auxiliary device, a control system for controlling the moving of the rotating means of a wind turbine nacelle during transportation of the nacelle and use hereof.

Abstract: Described are a system and method for generating a metadata model for use in classifying and searching for information objects maintained in heterogeneous data stores. An n-dimensional graph is constructed based on metadata categories and relationships among the metadata categories. Instances of metadata are acquired for use in classifying information objects and in searching for information objects in the data stores. Each metadata instance falls under one of the metadata categories. An n-dimensional metadata model is constructed by placing the acquired metadata instances into the n-dimensional graph according to the metadata category under which each metadata instance falls and the relationships among the metadata categories.

Abstract: Described are a system and method of performing an electronic search for information objects in data stores. A user submitting a text string is identified. A metadata model comprises interconnected nodes. At least one node corresponds to a metadata instance. A catalog of catalog items is provided. Each catalog item is linked to a metadata instance in the metadata model and uniquely associated with an information object. A user-access right is assigned to each metadata instance. The catalog is searched to find catalog items linked to a metadata instance satisfying the user-access right and criteria associated with the submitted text string. Links to metadata instances are extracted in real time from each catalog item found in the search of the catalog. Each metadata instance corresponding to an extracted link is displayed, if permitted for the identified user by the user-access right assigned to that metadata instance.

Abstract: A dosing device comprises a dosing chamber associated with a liquid inlet valve and a liquid outlet valve. Each said valve has a valve body being displaceable by menas of an armature located in an outlet spout and being displaceable by means of a magnetic field. The dosing device is operable between a charging state, in which the liquid inlet valve is open, and the liquid outlet valve is closed, and a dispensing state, in which the liquid inlet valve is closed, and the liquid outlet valve is open. The spout comprises two armatures adapted to influence each other by means of a magnetic force, and the dosing chamber is provided with an air intake valve having a valve body operable between a closed position in the charging state of the dosing device and an open position in the dispensing state of the dosing device.
