A pulsatile fluid pump system includes a pump-valving assembly including a chamber and a diaphragm assembly coupled to the chamber and including a flexible diaphragm. The diaphragm assembly and the pump-valving assembly are configured as an integral pump assembly. The system further includes a linear motor having a magnet and a coil, the magnet moving in relation to the coil, the coil having an electrical input. The system also includes a control housing rigidly coupled to the linear motor and a controller system having an electrical output coupled to the electrical input of the coil, the controller system defining an electrical waveform at the electrical output to cause desired operation of the diaphragm. The integral pump assembly is configured to be removably coupled to the control housing, and the diaphragm assembly of the integral pump assembly is configured to be removably coupled to the linear motor.

A free piston device, comprises a housing with a cylindrical inner wall having a first wall opening and a second wall opening; a cylindrical piston movable in axial direction and rotatable around its longitudinal axis; the piston comprising a first skirt forming a first chamber, said first skirt having at least a first opening in the form of a hole through the wall of the skirt for allowing passage of a fluid directly into or out of said chamber; control means for controlling axial and angular movement of said piston; sensing means for providing signals related to the axial position and/or the angular position of the piston; a digital control unit for rotating the piston around its longitudinal axis in synchronism with its axial movement.

This invention provides a coil and magnet assembly that is operatively interconnected with an oscillating free piston that moves along an axis. A coil mounting disk is operatively connected to a coil assembly. A magnet assembly is mounted on a magnet base. The magnet assembly is coaxial with respect to the coil assembly. The coil assembly and the magnet assembly are in oscillating motion with respect to each other in conjunction with oscillating motion of the free piston. A spring assembly comprising a plurality springs, symmetrically positioned about the axis, extend between the magnet base and the coil mounting disk, so as to move in conjunction with the oscillating motion along the axis. At least some of the springs are conductive and electrically connect the mounting disk to the magnet base. The piston can reside in a casing that is part of either a two-stroke engine or a fluid pump.

The present invention refers to a linear compressor based on resonant oscillating mechanism, which is comprised by at least one resonant spring (2) at least one linear motor (3) composed of at least one fixed portion (31 ) and at least one movable portion (32), at least one piston (4) operatively associated with at least one rod (5) and at least one cylinder (6), all these elements being disposed within a housing (7), and the movable portion (32) of the linear motor (3) is physically associated with one end of the resonance spring (2) through a first coupling assembly and the rod (5) is physically associated with the opposite end of the resonance spring (2) through a second coupling assembly. The linear motor (3), the cylinder (6) and the piston (4) are physically arranged within a same end of the housing (7). The rod (5) is disposed within the resonant spring (2). The piston-cylinder assembly (4, 6) is capable of acting at the distal end to the coupling end between the rod (5) to the resonant spring (2).

An electronic angle adjustment mechanism for a pump and a motor generally includes a base and an actuating motor. The base has an upper portion mounted to a motor, a lower portion mounted to a pump, and a hinge for pivotably moving the upper base portion in relation to the lower base portion. The actuating motor is mounted on an attachment plate that is attached to the upper base portion. The actuating motor is connected to a worm screw that engages an arcuate member attached to the lower portion to pivot about the hinge and change the angle between the upper and lower base portions.
