Abstract: A liquid dosing device for use with a liquid dispenser that includes a container for holding liquid in communication with a dispenser base, an outlet port for dispensing the liquid. The liquid dosing device includes a valve housing, a reservoir and a dosing cup. The valve housing is mounted to the dispenser base and includes an open top, an outlet port and a blocking region. The reservoir is mounted within the valve housing and includes at least one inlet port in communication with the dispenser base outlet port and at least one outlet port. The dosing cup is movably mounted within the valve housing in fluid communication with the reservoir and includes at least one inlet port in fluid communication with the reservoir outlet port, a blocking region, at least one outlet port and mechanism for moving the dosing cup between a fill position and a dose position to prevent spillage of the liquid being dispensed, or to dispense the liquid in defined quantities.

Abstract: Transgenic non-human animals that express the ?3 subunit of PRKAG are described, as well as methods of using the transgenic non-human animals as models for improving treatment, prevention, or diagnosis of diseases related to energy metabolism, including obesity, dyslipidemia, insulin resistance syndrome, and type 2 diabetes.

Abstract: Device relating to building frameworks which comprise a foundation (2, 3), supported by the foundation, a number of vertical uprights (1) in the longitudinal direction divided in elements (6, 7) joined to the end of each other to form the respective complete upright (1), a number of substantially horizontal beams (4), provided for the support of such area covering elements as floor structure elements (5) at least partly positioned above each other to form several stories of the building, which beams (4) are provided with their ends to be supported by the upright elements where they are joined together along the respective upright, and coupling means (8) in the points where the upright elements are joined together and including elements (19, 25) for attaching of the ends of the respective upright elements (6, 7) to each other and elements (18, 22) for supporting of the beam or beams (4) connecting to the coupling means (8).

Abstract: The present invention relates to an elevator device, preferably an elevator by a building facade and comprising a trolley which is displaceable along a track provided on a foundation, by way of example a roof, a lifting element as a lift cage, supported by the trolley means and a hoisting machinery provided for the vertical displacement of the lifting element. According to the invention the track is formed by a number of separate support elements arranged in rows preferably two rows. The support elements are along the track arranged with an interspace, which is maximum half the distance between the outer ends of the rails, corresponding to the number of rows and attached to the trolley. The rails attached to the trolley are arranged to be moved on the support elements along the track formed by the support elements. During the movement the distance between two adjacent support elements always is bridged by the rails.
