An engine is described for operation on a fuel expanding about adiabatically in a power stroke of the engine. To aid the power stroke efficiency, the rotary engine contains one or more of a rotor configured to rotate in a stator, the rotor offset along both an x-axis and a y-axis relative to a center of the stator, a vane configured to span a distance between the rotor and the stator, where the inner wall of the stator further comprises at least one of: a first cut-out in the housing at the initiation of the power stroke, use of a build-up in the housing at the end of the power stroke, and / or use of a second cut-out in the housing at the completion of rotation of the rotor in the engine. The engine yields a cross-sectional area expanding during a portion of the power stroke at about the Fibonacci ratio.

A fluid pump integrated with a motor, a fluid pump / generator device, a rotor for a fluid pump / generator device, a stator for a fluid pump / generator device and a method for pumping fluid are disclosed. Specifically, a fluid pump includes a motor rotor having a plurality of magnetic vanes that electromagnetically interact with a plurality of magnetic poles of the motor stator such that the rotor functions simultaneously as the impeller for the pump and rotor for the motor, with fluid flowing through channels on the rotor. Pump and motor are tightly integrated into one single device so that the number of parts is reduced, total size is compressed, reliability of the device is improved, and cost efficiency is increased. In addition, the use of magnetic vanes for propelling fluid improves motor efficiency. Further, the fluid flow is used to directly cool the pump / generator device, which reduces energy consumption.

A portable ventilator uses a Roots-type blower as a compressor to reduce both the size and power consumption of the ventilator. Various functional aspects of the ventilator are delegated to multiple subassemblies having dedicated controllers and software that interact with a ventilator processor to provide user interface functions, exhalation control and flow control servos, and monitoring of patient status. The ventilator overcomes noise problems through the use of noise reducing pressure compensating orifices on the Roots blower housing and multiple baffling chambers. The ventilator is configured with a highly portable form factor, and may be used as a stand-alone device or as a docked device having a docking cradle with enhanced interface and monitoring capabilities.

The invention discloses a gear pump used for a microminiature turbo-jet engine, comprising a direct current motor, a pump body, an upper pump cover, a lower pump cover, a shell, a pair of driving and driven gears which are meshed and a driving shaft and a driven shaft. The driving gear is arranged on the driving shaft; the driven gear is arranged on the driven shaft and is aligned and meshed withthe driving gear; the lower pump cover is fixed on the direct current motor, the upper pump cover is connected to the lower pump cover and the plane of the pump body is pressed tightly and sealed so as to lead the structure to be simple; the shell is sleeved at the outside of the lower pump cover; the driving gear and the driving shaft adopt a method of combining clearance fit and a transmission pin to eliminate the installation error of an output shaft of the direct current motor; and an antifriction material is embedded at the positions on the lower pump cover and the upper pump cover corresponding to the driving gear and the driven gear so as to increase the reliability and durability of the gear pump. Most parts of the gear pump adopt aluminium alloy so as to reduce the weight furthest. The gear pump can control the rotating speed of the direct current motor by pulse-width modulation of a single-chip microcontroller and control the flow rate of the gear pump precisely.

A pump is formed by a housing (10) having an inlet (11) for connection to a source of fluid and an outlet (12) for pumped fluid. A rotor (15) is rotatable within the housing and the inlet (11) and the outlet (12) are spaced apart around the path of the rotor (15) in the housing. The rotor (15) has surfaces (16a, 16b, 16c, 16d) that form, with the housing (10), closed chambers (18a, 18b, 18c, 18d) which travel around the housing (10) to convey fluid from the inlet (11) to the outlet (12). The housing (10) carries a seal (14) that is located between the inlet (11) and the outlet (12) in the direction of travel of the rotor (15). The seal (14) co-operates with the rotor surfaces (16a, 16b, 16c, 16d) as the surfaces (16a, 16b, 16c, 16d) pass between the outlet (12) and the inlet (11) to prevent the formation of a chamber during said passage and so prevent fluid flow from the outlet (12) to the inlet (11). Such a pump is easily and cheaply produced and is particularly useful in medical applications.

A method for forming a pattern on a substrate, including the steps of: ejecting liquid drops from an ejection head having nozzles onto a reference plate on which a plurality of target positions are defined, the target positions being arranged in at least one row; detecting an amount of a displacement between the target positions and the positions at which the liquid drops have actually landed; determining a relative positional error relative to the ejection head for each of the at least one row of the target positions based on the amount of the displacement; determining a correction value for each of the at least one row based on the relative positional error; and sequentially changing a relative position of the substrate and the ejection head based on the corrections values when the liquid drops are being ejected onto the substrate.
