Disposable interconnected pump cassettes having first and second pump chambers with valved inlet and outlet connections
A system and method for pumping fluid using a set of interconnected pump cassettes is disclosed. Each of the pump cassettes can receive a first solution in a first pumping chamber and each of the pump cassettes can receive separate second solutions in respective second pumping chambers, so that the first solution can be mixed with the separate second solutions, each said mixture capable of being placed in separate containers. The system includes a control assembly for operating each pump cassette, each pump cassette having a flexible membrane to pump fluid into and out of the pumping chambers, and each pump cassette configured for mating with a base unit that provides positive or negative pneumatic pressure to the flexible membrane.
Systems and methods related to fluid pumping
Systems for a plastic pump/actuator capable of containing and pumping organic solvents and lubricants and having a more desirable lubricity within the system. The system has at least two cylinders, with plungers therein, oppositely disposed from each other and configured to operably connect to a pump.

SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR GENERATING A DRIVE SIGNAL
A method and computer program product for defining a PWM drive signal having a defined voltage potential. The PWM drive signal has a plurality of “on” portions and a plurality of “off” portions that define a first duty cycle for regulating, at least in part, a flow rate of a pump assembly. At least a portion of the “on” portions of the PWM drive signal are pulse width modulated to define a second duty cycle for the at least a portion of the “on” portions of the PWM drive signal. The second duty cycle regulates, at least in part, the percentage of the defined voltage potential applied to the pump assembly.

METHOD AND DEVICE FOR CLEANING A CHANNEL USING A DIAPHRAGM PUMP MODULE
A method and an apparatus for cleaning a channel, especially a transmission and/or cooling channel, in any type of device, machine, installation, and/or tool, particularly in any type of heat exchanger and/or a molding core, cavity and/or insert is proposed, wherein a channel is cleaned through dynamic, bi-directional pulsation of cleaning medium inside the to-be-cleaned channel, the method being realized by a cleaning apparatus equipped with a diaphragm pump module, plugged either only in the feed side of the transmission line or in the feed side and in the return side, which, after connecting the diaphragm pump module to the external energy source and shutting off the flow control system from the reservoir and the feed pump, allows for putting cleaning medium into a state of two-way dynamic pulsating motion.

Sequentially activated multi-diaphragm foam pumps, refill units and dispenser systems having a non-uniform wobble plate
A wobble plate for a sequentially activated multi-diaphragm foam pump includes three or more wings, a wobble plate shaft, and an aperture located in each of the three or more wings. A first wing is configured to have a first distance from first contact surface of a first pump diaphragm. A second wing is configured to have a second distance from a first contact surface on a second pump diaphragm, and a third wing is configured to have substantially the second distance from a first contact surface on a third pump diaphragm.
