  • Publication number: 20220233763
    Abstract: Peristaltic pumps are described herein. In certain embodiments, a peristaltic pump includes a plunger, a first biasing member, and a second biasing member. The plunger is movable to selectively engage a pumping volume of a tubing segment to expand the pumping volume to draw fluid flow into the pumping volume and to contract the pumping volume to conduct fluid flow from the pumping volume. The first biasing member is configured to urge the plunger toward the tubing segment to maintain contact with the tubing segment during the expansion of the pumping volume. The second biasing member is configured to urge the plunger toward the tubing segment to contract the pumping volume.

  • Publication number: 20220235755
    Abstract: Peristaltic pumps are described herein. In certain embodiments, a peristaltic pump includes a plunger, a camshaft, and a first biasing member. The plunger is movable to selectively engage a pumping volume of a tubing segment. The camshaft includes a first plunger cam lobe. The first plunger cam lobe is configured to move the plunger between an engaged position in contact with the pumping volume and a disengaged position spaced apart from the pumping volume. The first biasing member is configured to urge the plunger toward the tubing segment to maintain contact with the tubing segment in the engaged position.

  • Publication number: 20220235756
    Abstract: Peristaltic pumps are described herein. In certain embodiments, a peristaltic pump includes a plunger and a feeler pin. The plunger is movable to selectively engage a pumping volume of a tubing segment to expand the pumping volume to draw fluid flow into the pumping volume and to contract the pumping volume to conduct fluid flow from the pumping volume. The feeler pin extends through the plunger and movable to maintain contact with the tubing segment, wherein the feeler pin is movable in response to a height of the pumping volume.

  • Publication number: 20220086544
    Abstract: A bandwidth allocation method and a related device are disclosed. An exemplary method includes: when a total sum of a cumulative sum of fixed bandwidth configuration upper limits of traffic bearing entities and a cumulative sum of assured bandwidth configuration upper limits of the traffic bearing entities is greater than a maximum bandwidth value of a passive optical network (PON) port of a piece of central office equipment, determining, by the central office equipment based on a bandwidth configuration upper limit of each traffic bearing entity and a required bandwidth value of the traffic bearing entity, a bandwidth value actually allocated to the traffic bearing entity. In this way, a part of bandwidth is allocated to each traffic bearing entity. This avoids a case in which no bandwidth is allocated to some traffic bearing entities. Therefore, resource allocation is more appropriate.
