Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for the production of a particle-containing aerosol, which includes comminutating a particle-containing cylinder. These aerosols are for example particularly suitable for use in the form of an aerosol stream in a coating process. The present invention further relates to particle-containing cylinders which can be dispersed and converted into aerosol form by simple methods.

Abstract: A sole (1) for a shoe, in particular a sports shoe/hiking shoe or ski boot/snowboard boot, is proposed, with a cushioning profile (5) arranged on the outside (3) of the sole (1). The sole (1) is distinguished in that the cushioning profile (5) also extends over the inside (7) of the sole (1).

Abstract: A heart support device for pulsatile delivery of blood comprising a first and a second ventricle and a pump. Both ventricles comprises a fluid chamber and a blood-conveying chamber, wherein each fluid chamber can be filled with a fluid or emptied by way of the pump in such a way that an expansion or contraction of the fluid chamber occurs. In an expansion of the fluid chamber of a ventricle, a compression of the blood-conveying chamber of the same ventricle takes place, wherein a rigid pressure plate is disposed between a fluid chamber and the respective blood-conveying chamber, said pressure plate being able to move in the direction of the respective blood-conveying chamber.
