Abstract: The invention relates to an actuator device, having two working chambers which are coupled to one another in such a way that a volume increase in a first of the working chambers is associated with a volume decrease in the second working chamber, and vice versa. There is provided an output device which can be driven, and thus moved, by the respective volume increase in the respective working chamber. There is provided a pump device having a solid-state actuator and intended for conveying a fluid. There is provided a first flow path through which the fluid conveyed by means of the pump device can flow and via which, to bring about the volume increase in the first working chamber, the fluid conveyed by means of the pump device and flowing through the first flow path can be introduced into the first working chamber.

Abstract: The invention relates to an actuator device comprising at least one output element, which can be applied with a fluid and can thereby be moved into at least one retaining position. An actuator is provided which can be operated in a pumping operation by controlling the actuator, in which at least one part of the actuator can be alternatingly moved in a first direction and in a second direction opposite the first direction via the controlling of the actuator, whereby the fluid can be conveyed to the output element in order to apply the output element with the fluid. A discharge channel is also provided, via which the fluid can be discharged from the output element.

Abstract: A method of separating organic materials is disclosed utilizing a chromatographic packing material. This packing material includes a coated support material which is a chromatographically suitable substrate. An immobilized butadiene acrylonitrile polymer coating is provided on the substrate. The copolymer can be crosslinked by gamma radiation, or by means of a crosslinking agent such as dicumyl peroxide. The support material can be silica, alumina, diatomaceous earth, zeolite, porous glass or carbon, but preferably a spherical lamellar shaped crystals of aluminum hydroxide. the aluminum hydroxide crystals are bonded together at a central core and extend radially outward from a central core with a particle density ranging from 0.3 to 2.5 g/cm.sup.3 and a diameter of 2 to 150 microns.
