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.

The invention provides a method for obtaining local anesthetics encapsulated in liposomes, such as multivesicular liposomes, with high encapsulation efficiency and slow release in vivo. When the encapsulated anesthetic is administered as a single intracutaneous dose, the duration of anesthesia and half-life of the drug at the local injection site is increased as compared to injection of unencapsulated anesthetic. The maximum tolerated dose of the encapsulated anesthetic is also markedly increased in the liposomal formulation over injection of unencapsulated anesthetic. These results show that the liposomal formulation of local anesthetic is useful for sustained local infiltration and nerve block anesthesia.

A device including a first discharge passage from a first rotor assembly to an engine, a first return passage that returns to an intake side of the first rotor assembly, a second discharge passage from a second rotor assembly to the engine, a second return passage that returns to an intake side of the second rotor assembly, and a pressure control valve whose valve main body is provided between a discharge port from the second rotor assembly and the first discharge passage. The first discharge passage and the second discharge passage are coupled, and a flow passage control is executed in each of: a low revolution range; an intermediate revolution range; and a high revolution range.

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.

In the invention, an inlet-outlet oil flow plate is fixed at two ends of a pump case stator. A radial inlet-outlet runner is built-up on the pump case stator to realize axial and radial inlet and outlet oil at the same time. A rotor is mounted in the internal cavity of the pump case stator and there is an offsetting e between the rotor and the ID of the pump case stator. Rotary vanes are mounted on a rotating board fixed on the two end faces of the rotor. The rotor is mounted on the pump spindle via a rotor key. A rotor locking device is assembled on the front part of the pump spindle. The inlet-outlet oil pump covers are fixed at two ends of the pump stator separately. A ring inlet-outlet oil passageway is disposed in inlet-outlet oil pump. A bearing support and sealing device is assembled on the central of the inlet-outlet oil pump cover.

An engine is disclosed. According to one embodiment of the present invention, the engine comprises a compressor, and combustor, and an expander. The compressor compresses ambient air. The combustor burns the compressed air, and produces exhaust gasses. The expander receives the exhaust gases from the combustor, and expands the exhaust gasses. The compressor may be a gerotor compressor or a piston compressor having variable-dead-volume control. The expander may be a gerotor expander or a piston expander having variable-dead-volume control. In another embodiment, an engine comprises a piston compressor, a combustor, a piston expander, and a pressure tank. The piston compressor compresses ambient air. The combustor bums the compressed air, and produces exhaust gasses. The piston expander receives the exhaust gasses from the combustor, and expands the exhaust gasses. The pressure tank receives and stores the compressed air from the compressor. In another embodiment, a gerotor compressor or a gerotor expander comprises an inner gerotor, and an outer gerotor. The inner gerotor and the outer gerotor are driven so that they do not touch. The gerotors may be cantilevered or non-cantilevered.
