Abstract:
A method of dispensing a continuous fluid flow is described, the method includes: (i) filling a first cylinder chamber, having a first predefined volume, with fluid received through a first manifold from a first fluid inlet; (ii) dispensing the first predefined amount of the fluid present inside the first cylinder chamber through the first manifold to a fluid outlet; (iii) filling a second cylinder chamber, having a second predefined volume, with fluid received through a second manifold from a second fluid inlet, and wherein filling is carried out contemporaneously with dispensing; (iv) exerting, during dispensing, a deflection-causing force on a first housing that is disposed adjacent to the first cylinder chamber; and (v) preventing, using the deflection-prevention feature, transfer of the deflection-causing force from the first housing to a second housing, which is disposed adjacent to the second cylinder chamber and is disposed adjacent to the first housing.

Claim (Index 1):
A pump comprising:\n a pump frame comprising:\n two or more housings disposed inside pump frame; \n one or more deflection-prevention features that, during an operative state of said pump, prevents transfer of a deflection force received at one of said housings to another of said housings; and \n two or more motors, each disposed inside one of said housings and configured to drive a corresponding piston; two or more cylinders, each disposed adjacent to a corresponding one of said housings and each of said cylinder having defined therein a cylinder chamber and wherein one end of one of said corresponding pistons capable of protruding into a corresponding one of said cylinder chambers by a corresponding predefined extent; two or more manifolds, each includes or is communicatively coupled to a fluid inlet, and wherein each of said manifold introduces an amount of fluid received from one of said fluid inlets into said corresponding one of said cylinder chambers; a fluid outlet for dispensing fluid in a substantially pulse-free manner; and wherein said deflection-prevention feature prevents deformation of one of said housings and/or another of said housings by preventing, during an operative state of said pump over a period of time, transfer of said deflection force received at one of said housings to another of said housings, and thereby allowing each of said corresponding pistons to protrude into said corresponding cylinder chamber by said corresponding predefined extent such that said fluid outlet dispenses said fluid in a substantially pulse-free manner.
