  • Patent number: 10753354
    Abstract: A pump system is presented having a pump with a generally cylindrical pump housing that is arranged with a liquid inlet in one end and a liquid outlet in a second end. A tubular membrane is arranged inside the pump housing and a first passage is arranged in the vicinity of the liquid inlet for introducing pressurized fluid between the membrane and the housing. A second passage arranged in the vicinity of said liquid outlet for releasing said pressurized fluid where the membrane is arranged with an elasticity providing a local radial compression and an annular fluid compartment when a pulse of pressurized fluid is entered through the first passage. The annular fluid compartment travels along the housing bringing a volume of liquid with it. An expansion vessel can be operably attached to the liquid outlet for reducing pressure changes in the liquid caused by the action of the pulse of pressurized fluid.

  • Patent number: 10385842
    Abstract: A limiter for a dispensing device is provided. The limiter includes a body (20) arranged to mount with at least a portion of a dispensing device (300), and a stop extending from the body. The stop (40) is configured to permit movement a plunger of the dispensing device a predetermined distance in a dispensing direction correlated to a desired volume of medium to be delivered from the dispensing device. The stop is configured to prevent further movement of the plunger in the dispensing direction, thereby limiting the amount of medium delivered from the dispensing device. The dispensing device may be a syringe.
