Abstract: Examples of fluid delivery drive system and/or pump system that creates a vacuum in a fluid line for drawing and expelling fluid are provided. The vacuum may be created by separating two components that are positioned within the sealed fluid line. Once the two components are separated and the fluid is contained within the volume created between the separated components, the two components may be shuttled within the sealed volume. The movement of the two components can seal off an inlet to the fluid line and then open a pathway to an outlet from the fluid line while ensuring the created volume between the two components is maintained constant. The two components can then be moved back together to expel the fluid from the created volume through the outlet for delivery, for example, to a patient. Other examples are disclosed and described.

Abstract: A multi-cylinder gas engine featuring a unique method of gas fuel intake and cylinder exhaust gas scavenging and recharging. It is a three cylinder opposed piston two-stroke cycle engine combined with a three cylinder opposed piston, sequentially ported, valveless pump to produce a three-stroke cycle engine effect. The engine has a positive compression, power, and recharge strokes, but no actual exhaust stroke. Exhaust is accomplished by pressure "blowdown" and by displacement scavenging of the cylinders during the recharge stroke. Operation may be based on the Otto cycle (gasoline or fuel, glow plug or spark ignition) or the diesel cycle and may utilize one or more carburetors or fuel injection. The firing order is sequential, in the same direction as crankshaft rotation, equally spaced (120 degrees), and results in three power strokes of approximately 120 degrees duration per revolution. A pump is also described.

Abstract: A side entry down-hole pump for oil wells which relies upon gravity rather than suction to receive incoming oil. A pump barrel is plugged at its bottom end and is anchored in the well. A pair of inlet slots in the side of the pump barrel admit oil to a pump chamber formed in the barrel between the inlet slots and the closed bottom end of the barrel. A pumping element is formed by a plunger assembly which includes a cup body carrying a pair of cup shaped seal rings. A pumping string reciprocates the pumping element up and down and provides a flow passage through which oil is pumped to the surface. During upstrokes, the seal rings move above the inlet slots so that oil flows by gravity through the slots and into the pump chamber. Downstrokes effect compression of oil in the pump chamber to pump it through the flow passage and through a check valve which prevents downflow of oil. A pair of discharge slots in the pump barrel relieve pressure created by oil trapped above the seal rings.
