    摘要: Provided herein are passive microfluidic pumps. The pumps can comprise a fluid inlet, an absorbent region, a resistive region fluidly connecting the fluid inlet and the absorbent region, and an evaporation barrier enclosing the resistive region, the absorbent region, or a combination thereof. The resistive region can comprise a first porous medium, and a fluidly non-conducting boundary defining a path for fluid flow through the first porous medium from the fluid inlet to the absorbent region. The absorbent region can comprise a fluidly non-conducting boundary defining a volume of a second porous medium sized to absorb a predetermined volume of fluid imbibed from the resistive region. The resistive region and the absorbent region can be configured to establish a capillary-driven fluid front advancing from the fluid inlet through the resistive region to the absorbent region when the fluid inlet is contacted with fluid.

    摘要: The invention disclosed provides a drive head assembly for a fluid conveyor system that propels a fluid entraining conveyor through a well bore to carry fluids to the surface. The invention is comprised of a pair of synchronized follower wheels connected to a set of counter rotating sheaves. A fluid entraining conveyor is wrapped in a “figure-8” conveyor path around the sheaves in a plurality of coaxial grooves and around a distal sheave located in the fluid in the well bore. The coaxial grooves incorporate a unique shape which in conjunction with the wrap pattern provide improved tractive qualities and thus reduce tension in the conveyor and increase the durability of the conveyor. The conveyor can run at increased speeds and with no tension on the downward portion of the conveyor resulting in higher efficiency and less down time due to breakage.

    摘要: An improved drive head for use in transporting materials has a frame for mounting near a tubing orifice, a drive wheel and second wheel rotatably mounted on the frame. Each of the wheels are adaptable to receive a fluid entraining conveyor. The drive head causes the conveyor to move through a predetermined conveyor path on which the conveyor winds about the drive wheel through at least a majority of its surface, and preferably 330.degree.. The radius of a down-conveyor conveyor track of the second wheel is preferably slightly greater than the radius of the drive wheel conveyor track. Preferably, tires are provided which are mounted on wheel hubs of the drive and second wheels, and these tires may be made of an elastomer having a higher coefficient of friction than the preferably plastic drive and second wheel hubs. The preferred embodiment includes a third wheel which is disposed on the conveyor path to be closer to the orifice than the second wheel.
