The invention relates to a pump device comprising a pump piston (12) which is longitudinally movable in a pump housing (10) and which, controlled by a magnetic actuation apparatus (14), acts on an inlet valve (16) and an outlet valve (18), the inlet valve (16) opening during the intake stroke of the pump piston (12), and the outlet valve (18) opening during the delivery stroke thereof. The inlet valve (16) has an annular valve piston (20) which encompasses the pump housing (10) which has an entry point (22) and an exit point (24) for fluid. The valve piston (20) has a pressure-sensing surface (26) which is controlled by the pump piston (12) in such a way that, during the intake stroke, the pressure-sensing surface (26) of the valve piston (20) is moved counter to the action of an energy store (28) in the movement direction of the pump piston (12) and in the process vacates a fluid path into a pump chamber (30) of the pump housing (10) by means of the pump piston (12) and, during the delivery stroke, the valve piston (20) of the inlet valve (16), under the action of the energy store (28) and the pressure-sensing surface (26), blocks this fluid path and opens the outlet valve (18).

An electromagnetic pump for pumping an electrically conductive liquid, including a first conduit section and a second conduit section. The electromagnetic pump further includes a current generator arranged to provide an electric current through the liquid in the first conduit section and the liquid in the second conduit section such that a direction of the electric current is intersecting the flow of the liquid in the first conduit section and in the second conduit section, and a magnetic field generating arrangement arranged to provide a magnetic field passing through the liquid in the first conduit section and the second conduit section such that a direction of the magnetic field is intersecting the flow of the liquid and the direction of the electric current.

Autonomous hydraulic unit comprising a liquid inlet (1); a flow meter (2) which is jointly attached to an inlet (3) of a compression chamber (4) of a pump (5) where a piston (6) injects the compressed liquid through a nozzle (7) into a heating chamber (8). A plastic body (9) integrates in one piece the compression chamber (4), a self-priming valve (10) and a safety valve (11). A heating element (12) contained within a body (9) determines with a disk (14) the heating chamber (8) where the temperature of the liquid injected by the piston (6) is raised in its passage towards the outlet (13).

Systems and methods for operating a linear motor (e.g., for an ESP), where the motor's mover moves in a reciprocating motion within a bore of the stator. Hard stops are located at the ends of the bore. The motor has a first set of sensors in the stator positioned proximate to the bore. When the mover moves in the bore, the sensors produce corresponding output signals, except when the mover is in a position near, but not in contact with a hard stop. While the sensors produce output signals, the motor is driven in a first direction toward the hard stop. When the sensors stop producing the output signals, the mover has reached the first position, and the motor is controlled to reverse the direction of the mover.

A modular system of reciprocating pumps is to be designed in such a way that any type of said reciprocating pumps can be economically assembled and tested on a flexible assembly device. The magnetic part is a pre-assembled subassembly that can be tested separately and is overmolded with plastic material; the connection point to the pump part has a given connecting contour that allows different types of pump parts of the modular system to be connected; and the pump part is a pre-assembled subassembly that can be tested for the displaced volume thereof. Feed pumps and metering pumps for fuels and aqueous reagents.

A drive system for a pump includes a housing and a fluid displacer and a reciprocator configured to mechanically displace the fluid displacer through respective suction strokes. The housing and fluid displacer define an internal pressure chamber configured to be filled with a working fluid having a charge pressure. The internal pressure chamber is configured such that the working fluid exerts the charge pressure on the fluid displacer during both the suction stroke and a pressure stroke of the fluid displacer.

A device for use by an individual for sexual pleasure varying in form, i.e. shape, during its use and allowing for the user to select multiple variations of form either discretely or in combination and for these dynamic variations to be controllable simultaneously and interchangeably while being transparent to the normal use of the device, including the ability to insert, withdraw, rotate, and actuate the variable features manually or remotely. According to embodiments of the invention localized and global variations of devices are implemented using fluidics and electromagnetic pumps/valves wherein a fluid is employed such that controlling the pressure of the fluid results in the movement of an element within the device or the expansion/contraction of an element within the device.

A piston pump for feeding a liquid in a vehicle having at least one piston, which is configured to cyclically slide inside a housing between a top dead centre and a bottom dead centre. The liquid is usually fed along a main feeding direction from a suction duct to a delivery duct. The piston pump has two solenoid valves, which are each arranged in the suction duct and in the delivery duct, respectively, and are designed to be operated by an electronic control unit so as to reverse the liquid feeding direction from the main feeding direction to a secondary feeding direction opposite the main liquid feeding direction and/or so as to adjust the cylinder capacity of the piston pump. The piston is operated by an electromechanical actuator, in particular comprising an electromagnet.

The invention relates to a pressure-volume delivery system comprising a piston-cylinder unit with a piston acting on both sides (dual-action reciprocating piston), said piston having at least two different active surfaces in corresponding pressure chambers and the pressure chambers being connected to at least one consumer via hydraulic lines.
