Abstract: A fluid regulator including compression member adapted to engage a fluid conduit, a biasing element operably connected to the compression member and producing a sufficient amount of biasing force to cause the compression member to deform the conduit to a substantially closed state, and a control device for applying a control force to the compression member. The control force may partially overcome the biasing force applied to the compression member and maintain the compression member such that the fluid conduit is maintained in a partially open state.

Abstract: An apparatus for dispensing a fluid at a predetermined flow rate by metering a metering liquid. The apparatus including a deformable liner adapted to hold the fluid and a tank having an inner surface defining a tank interior. The tank is adapted to support the deformable liner substantially within the tank interior. The apparatus also includes a metering pump operably connected to the tank and adapted to transfer a metering liquid between the deformable liner and the inner surface of the tank such that the deformable liner will be deformed so as to force the fluid from the tank at a predetermined flow rate as determined by metering the flow rate of the metering liquid through the metering pump.
