Abstract: A device for canceling acoustic noise generated includes, in one example, an inlet channel configured to be fluidly connected to an inlet port of a pump and an outlet channel configured to be fluidly connected to an outlet port of the pump. The device also includes an inlet resonator and an outlet resonator, both having open ends and closed ends. The open ends of the inlet and outlet resonators are fluidly connected to the inlet and outlet channels, respectively. When in operation, the inlet and outlet resonators can cancel noise generated by the operation of the pump.

Abstract: A pump device (1) includes a piezoelectric pump (10) and an outer casing (70). The piezoelectric pump (10) includes a pump casing having inlets (400) and an outlet (520), a vibration plate (31) disposed inside the pump casing and dividing an internal space (500) of the pump casing into a first space (501) on a side near the inlets (400) and a second space (502) on a side near the outlet, and a piezoelectric element (20) disposed on the vibration plate (31). The outer casing (70) forms a flow path composed of an internal space (700) that allows communication between an external inlet (701), which communicates with the outside, and the inlets (400). The flow path has a part that is parallel to an outer main surface (40op) of the pump casing in which the inlets (400) are formed, the part being located outside the outer main surface (40op).

Abstract: A transport device (400) comprises a housing (410), an actuator (430), a drive (450) and a sealing element (470). The housing has a fluid inlet (411, 413) and a fluid outlet (413, 411). The actuator (430) comprises a magnetic shape-memory alloy, and the actuator (430) is arranged at least in sections in the housing (410). The actuator (430) can be deformed by the drive (450) in such a way that two cavities (635, 635′) for the fluid are formed in the actuator (430), which cavities can be moved by the drive (450) in order to transport the fluid in the cavities (635, 635′) from the fluid inlet (411, 113) to the fluid outlet (413, 411). The sealing element (470) has at least one recess (471, . . . ), and the sealing element (470) is arranged in the housing (410) in such a way that the cavities (635, 635′) are at least temporally in fluid communication via the recess (471, . . . ) during the transport of the fluid from the fluid inlet (411, 413) to the fluid outlet (413, 411).

Abstract: A bone implant system may include a plurality of bone anchors, a superior rod attachable to a superior portion of a bone via the bone anchors, and an inferior rod attachable to an inferior portion of the bone via the bone anchors. The superior rod may have a superior end, and the inferior rod may have an inferior end. The superior rod may telescopically engage the inferior rod such that a cavity is present within at least one of the superior rod and the inferior rod and such that a length of the combined superior and inferior rods, measured between the superior end and the inferior end, is adjustable. The cavity may contain a micropump and a chamber. The micropump may be configured to expel fluid into the chamber to urge the length to increase.

Abstract: A double membrane pump having a casing and a piston rod movably received in the casing, the casing having at least one inlet opening and at least one outlet opening, and a first membrane is arranged at one end of the piston rod and a second membrane is arranged at the other end of the piston rod. The first membrane is arranged in a first chamber of the double membrane pump and the second membrane is arranged in a second chamber. The membranes are designed to separate the chambers into a product chamber and an expansion chamber respectively. The pump has a drive device for bringing about a translational movement of the piston rod. The double membrane pump has a piston rod which is designed to perform a self-regulated, oscillating movement and thus enables simplified control of the membranes.

Abstract: A rolling diaphragm pump includes a housing, a rolling diaphragm, a piston, a motor, and a ball screw. Rotational motion of the motor is converted into linear motion by the ball screw to cause the piston to reciprocate, and a volume of a pump chamber is changed by deformation of the rolling diaphragm, thereby sucking and discharging a transport fluid. The ball screw includes a screw shaft placed coaxially with an axis and rotationally driven about the axis relative to the housing by the motor, and a nut portion screwed to the screw shaft so as to be reciprocatable in an axial direction and having an insertion hole formed over an entirety thereof in the axial direction at a position eccentric to the axis. A guide shaft configured to guide reciprocation in the axial direction of the nut portion is inserted through the insertion hole of the nut portion and fixed to the housing.

Abstract: An active cooling system and method for using the active cooling system are described. The active cooling system includes a cooling element having a first side and a second side. The first side of the cooling element is distal to a heat-generating structure and in communication with a fluid. The second side of the cooling element is proximal to the heat-generating structure. The cooling element is configured to direct the fluid using a vibrational motion from the first side of the cooling element to the second side such that the fluid moves in a direction that is incident on a surface of the heat-generating structure at a substantially perpendicular angle and then is deflected to move along the surface of the heat-generating structure to extract heat from the heat-generating structure.
