A pressure exchange device is provided that utilizes a rotor assembly inside a housing to transfer the pressure of a fluid from one high pressure fluid to another low pressure fluid. The housing may comprise a pressurized fluid contained therein to provide a sealing force to reduce fluid leakage between the spinning rotors and the housing. The sealing force and wear characteristics may be controlled to reduce leakage and wear of the pressure exchange device. The rotor assembly may be driven in either direction and the high pressure ports may be switched with the low pressure ports if desired.

224 Information handling system including AC electromagnetic pump cooling apparatus US10925240 2004-08-24 US20060045755A1 2006-03-02 Brent McDonald; Daniel Jenkins
An information handling system (IHS) is provided which is cooled via an electromagnetic pump. The pump pushes a heat conducting liquid metal fluid in a heat conducting path away from a heat producing device such as a processor. The EM pump is driven by an AC electric current supplied to a transformer. The AC driven transformer supplies both a magnetic field and an electric current to the fluid in the pump. The system is configured such that the magnetic field and the electric current in the fluid are substantially orthogonal. Each time the AC electric current reverses polarity, the magnetic field and the electric current also each change polarity to force fluid out of the pump in the same direction during both the positive and negative going portions of the AC electric current cycle.

226 Method of forming a reactive material and article formed thereby US10338351 2003-01-07 US06923625B2 2005-08-02 Douglas Ray Sparks
A method for preventing contamination, oxidation and gas absorption of reactive materials, and articles formed thereby. The method generally entails depositing a first layer of a reactive material and a second layer of a substantially nonreactive material so that the second layer protects the first layer from a surrounding atmosphere. For example, the first and second layers may be deposited to form a film on a surface within a chamber that is desired to be maintained in a vacuum during use of the article. The second layer is sufficiently thin such that appropriately heating the first and second layers causes the reactive material of the first layer to become interdiffused with the nonreactive material of the second layer, to the extent that at least a portion of the reactive material is able to react and getter gases from the surrounding atmosphere.
227 Micro-fabricated electrokinetic pump US10366121 2003-02-12 US06881039B2 2005-04-19 David Corbin; Kenneth Goodson; Thomas Kenny; Juan Santiago; Shulin Zeng
An electrokinetic pump for pumping a liquid includes a pumping body having a plurality of narrow, short and straight pore apertures for channeling the liquid through the body. A pair of electrodes for applying a voltage differential are formed on opposing surfaces of the pumping body at opposite ends of the pore apertures. The pumping body is formed on a support structure to maintain a mechanical integrity of the pumping body. The pump can be fabricated using conventional semiconductor processing steps. The pores are preferably formed using plasma etching. The structure is oxidized to insulate the structure and also narrow the pores. A support structure is formed by etching a substrate and removing an interface oxide layer. Electrodes are formed to apply a voltage potential across the pumping body. Another method of fabricating an electrokinetic pump includes providing etch stop alignment marks so that the etch step self-terminates.
228 Hydraulic displacement machine US189695 1998-11-10 US6149391A 2000-11-21 Andreas Pohl; Horst Rosenfeldt; Eckhardt Wendt; Klaus Buesing
A hydraulic displacement machine that can operate as a pump or a motor in connection with an electrorheologic or magnetorheologic fluid includes a housing, a rotary piston arranged to rotate within a chamber in the housing, at least one displacement vane provided on the rotary piston, a plurality of field generating elements such as capacitor plate segments and/or coil arrangements that are each individually electrically energizable and that are arranged on the two sidewalls of the housing chamber distributed around the circumferential direction, and an actuator connected to each field generating element so as to move the elements of each pair selectively closer together and farther apart from each other. By applying an appropriate electric or magnetic field to the electrorheologic or magnetorheologic fluid between the field generating elements, the fluid is locally solidified in the "flow mode" to form a stationary seal plug within each fluid chamber between respective consecutive vanes. By moving the field generating elements of each pair closer together, the seal blockage is further solidified so as to additionally achieve a "squeeze mode" effect in the fluid.

230 Pump system US2617 1993-01-11 US5310321A 1994-05-10 Cornelius J. de Koning
A pump system includes a displacement pump whose oscillating fluid pressure variations are connected to drive a membrane pump. The membrane pump in turn oscillates fluid in a fluid-filled vertical pipe connected to a fluid-filled commuting pipe. The displacement of fluid in the commuting pipe induces intake of a fluid to be pumped into the commuting pipe during an intake portion of the oscillation and also induces expulsion of the fluid to be pumped during the remaining portion of the oscillation. The commuting pipe is made long enough so that fluid drawn in during the intake portion does not pass into the vertical pipe but stays in the commuting pipe. A heat exchanger about the vertical pipe dissipates heat that may be passed to the fluid therein by conduction or convection.

233 Fluid-raising apparatus driven by low hydraulic head US801236 1985-11-25 US4643650A 1987-02-17 Abdol-Hossein Khakzad-Ghomi
A fluid-raising apparatus includes a compression chamber which receives liquid, from an elevated source, such that gas in the chamber is pressurized and used to lift fluid through a vertical conduit. When the chamber fills with liquid, a float lifts a drain plug so that draining commences automatically. The effluent passes through a discharge tube wherein, during draining, the liquid pushes on a piston. The piston, in turn, holds a liquid inlet valve closed until draining is complete.
234 Apparatus for continuously pressure-feeding slurry US578789 1984-02-10 US4605356A 1986-08-12 Kenji Uchida; Masakatsu Sakamoto; Makoto Saito; Yukishige Kamino
Slurry consisting of water and solid material is fed to a plurality of supply chambers arranged in parallel to each other by a low pressure slurry pump, and the filled slurry is transferred to a transferring pipe under liquid pressure of a high pressure driving liquid pump. Also, to the upper and lower portions of the supply chambers are connected driving liquid supply/discharge pipes and slurry supply/discharge pipes having valves. The valves are selectively opened/closed in accordance with a detection of a float position within each supply chamber to thereby feed the slurry continuously under pressure. Upon the slurry pressure feeding, the valves connected to the supply chamber lower portion are prevented from closing due to a packing condition.
235 Apparatus for continuous pressure feeding of slurry US578109 1984-02-08 US4536131A 1985-08-20 Makoto Saito; Masakatsu Sakamoto; Kenji Uchida; Yukishige Kamino
Slurry consisting of water and solid material is fed to fill a plurality of supply chambers arranged in parallel to each other, by the action of slurry pump. The filled slurry is forced to a transferring pipe by the liquid pressure of a high pressure driving liquid pump. A float is positioned on an interface between the slurry and driving liquid within the supply chamber. When a sensor for detecting the position of the float is inoperative due to an external turbulence or the like, a command signal is applied to selected valves in response to a period of time set in a timer.

240 Centrifugal advanced system for wave compression supercharger US99245 1979-12-03 US4309972A 1982-01-12 James K. Vallance; Jeffrey A. Cook
A wave compression supercharger comprises a rotor mounted for rotation about its longitudinal axis having axially disposed cells formed about its periphery, a shroud surrounding the rotor, a first port plate located between the rotor and an air duct that delivers ambient air to the supercharger rotor and delivers pressurized air to the air intake side of the engine. A second port plate located between the rotor and an exhaust duct carries low pressure gas from the rotor and high pressure engine exhaust gas to the rotor. A hydraulic cylinder has a piston mounted for sliding motion in the cylinder. A mechanical governor driven by the rotor of the supercharger controls a source of pressurized hydraulic fluid that is opened to the cylinder according to variations in the speed of the rotor. The piston is connected to a port plate and delivers a tangential force to the plate causing it to rotate with respect to the longitudinal axis of the rotor. An alternative embodiment causes a cam to be moved by the piston axially into engagement with cam surfaces formed on the port plate. When the cam is moved axially without rotation, the port plate assumes an advanced or retarded position with respect to the rotor.
