            <link>http://www.freepatentsonline.com/y2012/0034119.html</link>
            <description><![CDATA[A double acting dual stroke fluid pump with pressure assists is disclosed. First and second pistons are mounted to a common shaft which reciprocates during compression and suction strokes. During each of the strokes, fluid is pumped out at an outlet. This is accomplished by way of a one-way valve on the second piston. The one-way valve is opened or closed depending on whether the first and second pistons are in the compression or suction strokes. Additionally, pressure from the outlet assists in traversing the first and second pistons in the compression stroke. During the suction stroke, the fluid pressure applies a force on the first piston to counteract the fluid pressure on the second piston so that a smaller spring may be used. The size requirements of the solenoid and spring are reduced. Additionally, the fluid pump provides lower pressure spikes compared to prior art fluid pumps since fluid is pumped out during both the compression and suction strokes and also provides a more even flow of fluid out of the fluid pump.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[An improved technique for delivering a fluid to an outlet from a storage container takes the form of a linear peristaltic pump which enables the use of two elements: a single bearing and a valve. The single bearing provides enough pressure to a flexible tube in which the fluid moves to close the tube off at a single location. The valve controls the fluid flow out of the flexible tube at the egress point in conjunction with the bearing and is attached to the flexible tube at a single location. In this manner, when the bearing is engaged with the flexible tube, the bearing divides the flexible tube into two subvolumes, one of which contains fluid to be moved toward the egress point at the far end of the flexible tube and the other creating suction for intake of fluid immediately behind the bearing. A bearing controller moves the bearing along the surface of the flexible tube when so engaged; in doing so, the bearing moves the fluid.]]></description>
