According to preferred embodiments and methods of the present disclosure, a medical injection system employs a single pump for the injection of multiple fluids, rather than employing a pump for each type of fluid, for example, like the prior art system described above. Embodiments of pumps disclosed herein preferably include a disposable pump cartridge configured to be contained within a hull of a medical injection system, wherein the hull may be formed when a pressure plate member is closed against a base plate; and, when the pressure plate member is opened with respect to the base plate, the disposable pump cartridge may be removed and replaced.

A rotary piston compressor is disclosed, comprising a housing having an epitrochoidal shaped inner bore, peripheral inlet and exhaust ports located in the bore, and a rotary piston rotatably mounted within the housing. The central portion of each rotary piston flank is configured such that, at the closest point between the flank central portion and the housing between the exhaust port of the trailing compression cycle and the inlet port of the leading compression cycle, the radial spacing between the rotary piston flank and the housing is maintained such that, the volumes enclosed by the rotary piston on either side of the closest point in the respective trailing and leading compression cycles are substantially sealed from one another. The end portions of each rotary piston flank are configured such that radial spacing between the rotary piston flank and the housing exceeds to that between the central portion and the housing.

Pump body assembly, fluid machinery, and a heat exchange device. The pump body assembly includes: an upper flange; a lower flange; a cylinder arranged between the upper flange and the lower flange; a sliding block structure, rotatably arranged inside the cylinder, where the sliding block structure includes a connecting portion and two sliding sub-blocks arranged on the connecting portion, and the two sliding sub-blocks and an inner wall surface of the cylinder form a first sliding hole; a piston, slidably arranged inside the first sliding hole, where a variable volume cavity is formed between the piston and an inner wall of the cylinder, and the piston has a second sliding hole; and a rotation shaft, where at least a portion of the rotation shaft is slidably arranged inside the second sliding hole.

A rotary compressor is provided that may include a casing, a cylinder, a main bearing, a sub bearing, a rotational shaft, a roller, and at least one vane. The cylinder may include at least one elastic deformation unit to absorb impact with the at least one vane. With this structure, a collision force caused due to chattering of the at least one vane may be absorbed to suppress or prevent friction loss and/or wear between the cylinder and the vane, thereby enhancing compressor efficiency, reducing vibration noise, and enabling fast initial actuation.

An air compressor includes a compressor body; a rotator located inside the compressor body and configured to define an exhaust compartment and an intake compartment; a plurality of exhaust openings and a plurality of intake openings formed on the compressor body; wherein the rotator is rotated within the compressor body to operate exhaust and intake cycles.
