A pumping system includes a head having an opening and an injection port. The head is for holding content to be forced through the injection port. A bladder is within the head. The bladder is between the content and the opening. A plunger is configured to move through the opening of the head and to apply force within the bladder. The plunger may be movable in a discharge stroke to force the bladder against the content and thereby force the content through the injection port.

A compressed fluid motor comprising at least one solenoid valve, motor timing sensor, and controller for operating the motor.

A direct drive air pump has a motor and a pumping mechanism connected to an end of the motor, and further has an auxiliary pumping mechanism connected to the other end of the motor, and a tube connected with the pumping mechanism and the auxiliary pumping mechanism. In each one of the pumping mechanism and the auxiliary pumping mechanism, a cylindrical body has a top plate having an exhaust hole. A single O-ring is used to seal between the cylindrical body and a cylindrical cover for reducing the sealing portions. A valve block of a non-return valve can co-work with a spring for opening and closing the exhaust hole. The valve block is soft for closing the exhaust hole well and reducing the noise of collision between the valve block and the top plate.

A piston pump assembly for a hydraulic power vehicle braking system including an electric motor, a planetary gear, a worm gear, and a piston displaceable in a cylinder. For an anti-rotation protection of the piston in the cylinder, the piston includes a ring rotationally-fixed thereto by a form fit and connected thereto by forming, including semicircular grooves at its outer circumference, in which cylinder pins engage, which are situated fixed axially-parallel in the cylinder.

A linear compressor includes a piston that reciprocates on a spring central axis extending in an axial direction and a spring that axially elastically supports the piston. The spring includes a plurality of spring strands. The spring strands each include a spring body spirally extending along a spring central axis C, a front spring link forming an end of the spring body by extending from a side of the spring body, and a rear spring link forming the other end of the spring body by extending from the other side of the spring body. Of the spring strands, the front spring links are disposed axially in the same plane P1 and the rear spring links are disposed axially in the same plane P2.

An example apparatus to prevent side load in hydraulic override pumps includes a lever rotatably mounted to a support. The apparatus includes a pump cylinder rotatable about a first end of the pump cylinder. The apparatus also includes a pump rod operatively coupled to the lever to move within the pump cylinder based on rotation of the lever. The pump cylinder rotates when the pump rod moves within the pump cylinder.

There is described a patch pump comprising a cartridge, a power source, a pump system, a drug delivery device and a control system configured to operate in particular the pump system and the drug delivery device. The pump system includes, on the one hand, a pump having a pump housing containing a pump piston and a valve piston and, on the other hand, a pump drive including a piston motor and a valve motor for driving the pump piston and the valve piston independently from each other through a first and a second transmission. The drug delivery device includes a transdermal delivery system having a needle actuation mechanism configured for transdermal insertion of a cannula.

The invention relates to the processing of fluid biological media, especially of culture media or cell- or virus suspensions, potentially containing active pathogens, with the aim of inactivating these pathogens and/or modifying ingredients in these biological media by thermal or radiological treatment.
