To allow for easier adjustment of the amount of flavor dispensed in a flavor dispenser. [Solution] A flavor dispenser for distributing a dosage of flavoring, comprising: a flavoring chamber for containing the flavoring; and a dispensing member having a dispensing volume for receiving the flavoring from the flavoring chamber, the dispensing member forming an opening to the dispensing volume from which the flavoring is received from the flavoring chamber. The reciprocating member is movable relative to the dispensing member between a closed position in which the opening is isolated from the flavoring chamber; a first open position in which the opening is partially exposed to the flavoring chamber and a certain amount of flavoring can enter the dispensing volume through the opening; and a position in which it returns to the closed position and the flavoring is distributed by the dispensing member. The first open position of the reciprocating member is adjustable, and the amount of flavoring received into the dispensing volume can be adjusted by changing the degree to which the opening is exposed to the flavoring chamber.

A flow-assisted clearing device provides rapid clearing of hydrogel-embedded biological specimens without the need of specialized equipment such as electrophoresis or perfusion devices.

The invention generally relates to containers and liquid or granulated powder volume measurement devices. The measurement device is transferrable between containers for the preparation of a measured dose of liquid.

A liquid dispensing apparatus for dispensing a metered liquid has a heating chamber (3) having an internal cavity (20) determining a metered dose of the liquid. An electrical heating coil (4) is arranged to heat the chamber and a normally closed first valve (30) is located at an inlet of the cavity and a normally closed second valve (31) is located at an outlet of the cavity. A reservoir (1) for the liquid has a member (5) arranged to open the first valve (30). The heating chamber is reciprocally mounted with respect to the reservoir so that motion of the heating chamber toward the reservoir brings the first valve (30) into contact with the member (5) to open the first valve. A differential pressure-drop causes liquid to flow into the cavity (20). Motion in an opposing direction causes the first valve to close and the heating coil is activated to vaporize liquid in the cavity. Provision of a negative pressure on the cavity causes the second valve (31) to open so that vapor is sucked out of the cavity (20).

A doser assembly includes a hopper assembly configured to receive filler material, a vibration transmission assembly coupled to the hopper assembly, and a paddle in a hopper opening that extends through the hopper assembly. The vibration transmission assembly includes a shaft that is configured to rotate around a central rotation axis, an eccentric that is fixed to the shaft and has a center that is radially offset from the central rotation axis, a connecting rod that is pivotably connected to the center of the eccentric, and a bracket that is pivotably connected to the connecting rod. A first end of the paddle is pivotably coupled to the hopper assembly at a paddle pivot joint. The paddle is fixed to the bracket of the vibration transmission assembly separately from the hopper assembly. The vibration transmission assembly is configured to cause the paddle to reciprocatingly pivot around the paddle pivot joint.

The invention relates to a device and a method for metering pourable feed material (12), said device comprising a housing (2) which extends along an axis (3) and has a bottom panel (4), a cover panel (5) which is at an axial distance therefrom, and a circumferential wall (6) connecting the bottom panel (4) and the cover panel (5), which all enclose a working chamber (7). A rotary wheel (28) is located in the working chamber (7), which rotary wheel rotates about the axis (3) and has multiple cells (33) which are arranged, concentrically about the axis (3), along a number of n circular paths (32.1, 32.2, 32.3, 32.4), wherein the cells (33) on a first circular path (32.4) are arranged at a circumferential offset v with respect to the cells (33) on another circular path (32.2). The upper faces of the cells (33) facing the cover panel (5) and the lower faces of the cells (33) facing the bottom panel (4) are open and form, together with the cover panel (5) and the bottom panel (4), chambers rotating about the axis (3). The housing (2) has an inlet opening (8) via which the feed material (12) can be fed to the cells (33) of the rotary wheel (28), and an outlet opening (9) via which the cells (33) of the rotary wheel (28) can be emptied. During rotation of the rotary wheel (28), the filled cells (33) enter the region of the outlet opening (9), wherein the cell walls of each cell (33) form, together with the outlet opening (9), a partial cross-section Ateil which is dependent on the angle of rotation and is formed during said entry. The aim of the invention is to ensure the most continuous material flow possible during the metering process. In order to achieve this aim, the circumferential offset v between a first cell (33) on the first circular path (32.4), which cell is leading in the direction of rotation (38), and another cell (33) on the other circular path (32.2), which cell is directly following in the direction of rotation, is formed in such a way that, when the other cell (33) begins to enter the region of the outlet opening (9), the partial cross-section Ateil of the first cell (33) corresponds to x * 1 / n of the full cross-section Avoll of the first cell (33), where x lies in the range between 0.6 and 1.4.
