Abstract: An apparatus (10) blocks and adjusts a pressure for a hydraulically controllable actuator (12), particularly a lifting unit (16) of a machine (18). The apparatus (10) allows a working chamber (20, 22) to be selectively connected to a pressure supply unit (94) having a storage device (34) or to a discharge end (66), in particular a reservoir end, by a valve unit (38). In a controlling position of the valve unit (38), when the storage pressure in the storage device (34) is greater than the working pressure in the working chamber (20) of the actuator (12), the storage pressure is relieved in the direction of the discharge end (66) until the working pressure has been reached.

In this case, the products are first of all fed on each track as a single-row product stream on a first conveying device at a first speed.

Abstract: The invention relates to the use of certain micro-RNAs circulating in the blood serum or blood plasma in the form of diagnostic profiles as a marker in an in vitro method for distinguishing between patients for which a myocardial biopsy is necessary for the diagnostic identification of a heart muscle disease and patients for which myocardial biopsy is not necessary, and for the optional differential diagnosis of individual non-ischemic cardiomyopathies or storage diseases affecting the heart.
