The present patent of invention relates to a hydraulic unit (U) with a pneumatic cylinder (15) that works jointly with a servomotor (M), together with a ball screw (29) to together move a hydraulic piston pump (8), made up of a hydraulic plunger (7), with related sealing elements to prevent oil leaks, noise, metal-on-metal attrition and loss of efficiency, that is moved upwards and downwards using a ball screw (29) and a pneumatic cylinder (15), jointly with a servomotor (M) which, when moved, pushes the pressurized oil outwards while filling the opposite hydraulic chamber with an oil suction movement, the pumped oil entering a hydraulic pressure accumulator (25), where it remains idle to be used when required and being supplied by the up/down movement of the piston, generating continuous pumping, which is automatically stopped when the hydraulic pressure accumulator (25) is full and has reached the predetermined hydraulic pressure.

According to some embodiments, an apparatus comprises an air pump configured to couple to a capstan, and a pneumatic cylinder coupled to the air pump at a first end of the pneumatic cylinder. The pneumatic cylinder comprises a piston. Rotation of the capstan in a first rotational direction causes the air pump to provide air pressure to the first end of the pneumatic cylinder. In response to the air pump providing air pressure to the first end of the pneumatic cylinder, the piston of the pneumatic cylinder moves in a first linear direction. The piston is coupled to a longitudinal beam of a longitudinal door system of a railcar. In response to the piston moving in the first linear direction, the longitudinal beam moves in the first linear direction, opening a door of the longitudinal door system.

A pump assembly. The pump assembly may comprise a motor portion for driving a fluid pumping portion via a piston. The motor portion may comprise: a spool and a spool housing assembly having a spool chamber. The spool may be disposed within the spool chamber. The spool may comprise an upper portion and a lower portion, wherein the diameter of the lower portion is larger than the diameter of the upper portion. The spool may also comprise: (1) two support groove portions for cradling two slide valves and (2) two spool bores, which are in fluid communication with the two slide valves. The piston of the pump assembly may comprise a valve stem having a valve stem bore and valve stem openings. The valve stem openings may be funnel-shaped or may inwardly slope into the valve stem bore to prevent or minimize cutting or shredding of a blown seal.

The present invention discloses ventilation apparatus, comprising a casing with a first vent and a second vent, a fixed spacer disposed within the casing, and a movable spacer in operative connection with a power mechanism. Also discloses herein are methods for ventilating a subject, by synchronously providing a positive pressure ventilation and a negative pressure ventilation using the ventilation apparatus described herein.

The invention relates to a delivery device (1) for delivering a fluid medium, having a delivery drive (2), a pump device (3) and a scoop device (4). The delivery drive (2) is arranged at a first end (6) of a pipe (5), wherein the pump device (3) and the scoop device (4) are arranged inside the pipe (5). The scoop device (4) includes a foot valve (8), which is arranged at a second end (7) of the pipe (5) and which foot valve (8) serves to control an inlet (9) for an inflow of medium into a piston chamber (10). A piston (11), which sub-divides the piston chamber (10) into an inflow area (12) and a discharge area (13), is arranged in the piston chamber (10), wherein the inflow area (12) and the discharge area (13) are or can be connected via the piston (11), wherein the piston (11), via a piston rod (14), is movable between a retracted position and an extended position inside the piston chamber (10) by the delivery drive (2) (FIG. 1).

The invention comprises a system containing a multipurpose hydraulic unit that can be used in machines and equipment, driven by low-pressure compressed air or other gases, comprising two hydraulic pumps that work together with a hydraulic pressure accumulator, where the main function of the hydraulic pumps is to pump oil to ensure that the hydraulic pressure accumulator (28) is always full, in which the pumping of oil begins with the supply of compressed air, which passes through the pneumatic directional valve (11) and is conveyed to the lower pneumatic chamber (22) or to the upper pneumatic chamber (4) to move the pneumatic cylinder and to push the hydraulic liners of the pumps, which pumps are assembled in parallel with the shaft of the pneumatic cylinder, each on one side, and as such, when the hydraulic chambers move, they exert a force on this volume of oil and force this stored oil out through the check valves to the hydraulic pressure accumulator, where it is kept under pressure and ready for use, and while this volume of oil is being pumped out of the hydraulic chamber, another volume of oil is being drawn into the hydraulic chamber opposite this hydraulic chamber, also to be pumped when the reverse movement of the pneumatic cylinder occurs, at which point said pneumatic cylinder begins pumping this new volume of oil, and so on until the pressure accumulator is full and pumping is stopped as a result of pressure equilibrium being reached, nonetheless maintaining the system under pressure, said system being restarted whenever oil is consumed as a result of the movement of any hydraulic actuator of the machine that is using this invention.
