Claims37
A device, comprising:
- a housing having a depth disposed between an open end and a closed end;
- a flexible member having a peripheral margin sealably engaged to said open end of said housing to define an enclosed space within said housing, said flexible member capable of an amount of flexure to increase or decrease a volume of said enclosed space;
- a first magnetic force generator disposed on said flexible member;
- a second magnetic force generator disposed proximate said closed end of said housing or proximate said open end of said housing, said first magnetic force generator responsive to said second magnetic force generator to induce said amount of flexure in said flexible member, at least one of said first magnetic force generator and said second magnetic force generator comprises an electromagnetic force generator operable to induce said amount of flexure in said flexible member to increase or decrease said volume of said enclosed space.

The device of claim 10, further comprising:
- a partition wall which partitions said housing to divide said enclosed space into a first fluid chamber and a second fluid chamber, said peripheral margin of said flexible member sealably engaged to said open end of said first fluid chamber;
- an aperture disposed in said partition wall communicating between said first fluid chamber and said second fluid chamber;
- a unidirectional valve disposed in said partition wall to permit a fluid to flow through said aperture only from said second fluid chamber toward into said first fluid chamber;
- and
- a cover sealably engaged to an open end of said second fluid chamber.
