Patent number: 11913437Abstract: A system and method for pumping fluid. The system includes a sequence of two or more positive-displacement sub-systems each having a respective one-way inlet. A respective one-way flow path links each adjacent two of the sub-systems. A one-way outlet from a last of the sub-systems is provided. The system is capable of a mode of operation in which at least some of the sub-systems are substantially in phase with respect to each other to cause the system to draw fluid from more than one of the one-way inlets; and another other mode of operation in which at least some of the sub-systems are substantially in antiphase with respect to each other to increment a pressure of the fluid as the fluid moves along the sequence.Type: GrantFiled: October 24, 2022Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignee: QUANTUM SERVO PUMPING TECHNOLOGIES PTY LTDInventors: Darren Reukers, Peter Harding

Patent number: 11754067Abstract: A pump including one or more pumping chambers, one or more drive mechanisms for driving the one or more pumping chambers and a logic arrangement. The first pumping chamber of the one or more pumping chambers has a first inlet check valve, a first outlet check valve and a first temperature sensor. The logic arrangement is configured to identify a leak by applying logic to at least resistance-data indicative of a resistance of the first pumping chamber to the driving and temperature-data at least based on output from the first temperature sensor.Type: GrantFiled: November 2, 2018Date of Patent: September 12, 2023Assignee: QUANTUM SERVO PUMPING TECHNOLOGIES PTY LTDInventors: Darren Reukers, Peter Harding

Patent number: 7748176Abstract: A flooring system comprising a plurality of elongate members (1) secured together along adjacent longitudinal side edges by means of co-operating male and female formations (2, 3). The female formation (3) is a channel with relatively convergent sidewalls and the male formation comprises a hollow rail of complementary shape. An outer sidewall of the channel is resilient to allow the rail to be snapped into the channel in a direction transverse to the length of the members (1) and to return to its original shape to resist removal of the rail. The formations (2, 3) are arranged so that upper surfaces of adjacent members (1) form a panel having a planar support surface (21) and relative rotation of the members (1) about an axis parallel to the longitudinal side edges is resisted. Two panels may be joined together to provide upper and lower planar support surfaces (21, 22).Type: GrantFiled: February 12, 2004Date of Patent: July 6, 2010Assignee: Floor 2 Wall LimitedInventors: Miceal John Peter Harding, Oliver Charles Harding, Iain Mackenzie Macleod

Patent number: 6488501Abstract: A transfer jig for implant dental surgery uses a tubular post and a tubular coping which is attachable and detachable from the post by a snap-fit attachment. The post has a hexagonal portion for location in a hexagonal socket in an implant and a frusto-conical portion which is a seat for the coping. The coping has a diametrically opposed pair of slots in its end that seats on the post to receive a diametrically opposed pair of pins with a snap-fit, the pins being mounted on the post so that the coping is precisely located relative to the hexagonal portions. The coping also has apertures formed through its tubular wall through which dental impression material is forced to form structural links when a dental impression is taken.Type: GrantFiled: December 1, 2000Date of Patent: December 3, 2002Assignee: Osteo-Ti LtdInventor: Stewart Peter Harding
