41 Fluid indicator US14083538 2013-11-19 US09494920B2 2016-11-15 Philippe-Emmanuel Grize; Yves Berthier; Maurizio Minello
An indicator including a housing, a movement lodged in the housing, a watch glass above the housing, a fluid pump driven by the movement for pumping a fluid, and a channel. The channel is arranged so that the fluid circulated by the pump reaches the channel in order to fill the channel for displaying indications.
42 ENERGY STORAGE AND RELEASE DEVICE USING ELASTIC RESERVOIRS US14914750 2014-08-26 US20160209810A1 2016-07-21 Johann ROHNER
An energy storage and release system and/or time piece device includes two elastic bellows in fluid communication with one another and filled with a single fluid or different fluids (whether liquids alone or in combination with a gas) thus allowing mechanical power transmission. The energy which loads the system comes from an external winding system (which can be performed either manually or automatically). The winding or loading force is transmitted by a mechanism attached to one or the other fluid reservoirs. As the system is loaded, the fluid contained therein expands and contracts the fluid reservoirs. The fluid reservoirs are elastic and so, once a reservoir is filled or contracted, then when the energy input from the mentioned manual or automatic winding is removed, the system will elastically seek to return to an unstressed or relaxed state, and thus release energy that is stored. This results in the linear movement of one or other of the reservoirs which can be used as a linear motion mechanism of significant utility adaptable for a variety of fields, from medical to time keeping. In one embodiment, at least two immiscible fluids defining a meniscus juxtaposed to an indicia may be used, which then allows the system to indicate its energy state. The device may be used as an alternative stored energy source for a wristwatch, replacing the traditional main spring.
43 Submerged ornamental clock operated by air bubbles US472079 1983-03-04 US4469447A 1984-09-04 Victor H. Chatten
An ornamental clock operates while submerged in a body of water, the clock having a clock face and relatively movable hands and a mechanism for moving the hands. Air bubble receivers are each mounted for movement between a first position to entrap air bubbles and a second position to release air bubbles into the water. Spaced ports deliver air into the water below each bubble receiver. Accumulation of bubbles alternately in each receiver produce buoyant forces which act through linkage to drive the clock mechanism. Apparatus is provided to deliver air alternately into the ports.
44 Piezoelectric-fluid electromechanical transducer US3596116D 1969-07-23 US3596116A 1971-07-27 WALTON RICHARD S
The transducer has a fluid chamber mounting a piezoelectric element at one end and a piston slidably mounted in a reduced diameter portion of the chamber opposite the element. A timebase, including a high frequency oscillator and a frequency divider, applies an electrical signal across the piezoelectric element whereby the element moves to displace the fluid in the chamber thereby driving the piston outwardly against the bias of a spring. The piston is coupled to the gear train of a timepiece. The timed electrical signal is thus converted to an incremental mechanical movement which is amplified by the fluid system to provide timed indexing of the gear train.

A cadence system consists of a mainspring powering a pump pumping a liquid through a regulation valve, providing a constant energy discharge of said mainspring, the system optionally being immersed in the liquid.
59 Temperature driven winding system US14776790 2014-03-17 US10031481B2 2018-07-24 Alain Jaccard; Lucien Vouillamoz; Yves Ruffieux; Dominique Renaud; Johann Rohner
A drive system for energizing a device that includes a bellows actuated drive. The bellows actuated drive provides linear forward and backward movement by fluid expansion and contraction of a fluid within a reservoir according to a temperature differential while the reservoir is in fluid contact with the bellows. In one variant, two bellows are configured in a V shaped conformation. Various devices are driven using the drive system of the current invention and include a timepiece, a medical device, an implantable medical device, a cardiac rhythm management device, a hearing aid, a medical micro-injector, a sensor, and a biometric transmitter.
60 SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR INDICATING A QUANTITY US15301437 2015-04-07 US20170235278A1 2017-08-17 Lucien VOUILLAMOZ; Yves RUFFIEUX
An indication device is provided which has an electrically conductive fluid driven by an MHD pump. The fluid has an indicator surface driven adjacent indices of an indicator so as to indicate a quantity. A position of the indicator surface is sensed and controlled to ensure accurate indication of the quantity. Optionally, the quantity indicated is time.
