A device comprising:
- a housing having a depth disposed between an open end and a closed end;
- a partition wall being configured to partition an enclosed space of said housing into a first fluid chamber and a second fluid chamber;
- a flexible member having a peripheral margin sealably engaged to an open end of said first fluid chamber, said flexible member being configured to flex to increase or decrease a volume of said enclosed space;
- a first magnetic force generator being disposed on said flexible member;
- a second magnetic force generator being disposed proximate said closed end of said housing or proximate said open end of said housing, said first magnetic force generator being responsive to said second magnetic force generator to flex said flexible member, at least one of said first magnetic force generator or said second magnetic force generator comprising an electromagnetic force generator being configured to flex said flexible member to increase or decrease said volume of said enclosed space;
- an aperture being disposed in said partition wall and being configured to permit fluid communication between said first fluid chamber and said second fluid chamber;
- a unidirectional valve being disposed in said partition wall and being configured to permit fluid flow through said aperture only from said second fluid chamber toward said first fluid chamber;
- and
- a cover being sealably engaged to an open end of said second fluid chamber.
