| 20120003111 | MECHANICAL SYSTEM FOR MOVEMENT ALONG A HOUSING AXIS - A mechanism for moving elements in a fluid filled housing a pump with the element to be moved attached rigidly to the pump or to a port assembly connected to the pump. The pump assembly or port assembly moves as a result of differential pressure created between a first and a second chamber separated from each other by the pump assembly or port assembly. Movement of the fluid in one direction increases or decreases pressure, the pressure change resulting in a net force in one direction or the other. | 01-05-2012 |
