Abstract

Cell flow device and method provides a sequential linear flow of pressure resistance includes a family cell of two or more continuance cells. These continuance cells have the same or different size and shape. They also have different degrees of elastomeric capability and are in fluid connection with the advantage of a properly calibrated valve(s) and will transfer air, gas, liquid, or other substance or media, or mixture thereof by a sequential linear flow of pressure resistance from a reservoir or external source through different degrees of elastic potential energy, geometric advantages, or introduction of a force. Thereby, the family cell performs the predetermined function in any device that uses the technology for a wide array of uses for users and operators thereof.

Claims (18)

1. A family cell, comprising:

a first continuance cell having an input port;

a second continuance cell having an output port; the first continuance cell and the second continuance cell being in fluid communication with media flowable therebetween; the first continuance cell being configured and arranged to have an elastomeric advantage greater compared to the second continuance cell with the first continuance cell providing endogenous pressure to the media greater than the second continuance cell to the media;

a first conduit connecting the first continuance cell to the second continuance cell;

a first one-way valve positioned in the first conduit and oriented to permit one-way flow of media from the first continuance cell to the second continuance cell;

at least one additional continuance cell fluidly interconnected to the second continuance cell by a second conduit and second one-way valve therein to provide a sequential linear flow of pressure resistance of media to the at least one additional continuance cell from the second continuance cell and the at least one additional continuance cell having different elastomeric capabilities than the second continuance cell;

wherein the family cell provides a sequential linear flow of pressure resistance of media entering through the input port into the first continuance cell from a reservoir or the external environment and exited back again to the same from the second continuance cell via the output port.

2. The family cell of claim 1 , wherein the continuance cells are congruent or varying in size and shape with different degrees of capability.

3. The family cell of claim 1 , whereby media is dynamically transferred from the first continuance cell by any one, combination, or sum of:

decreased pressure volume capability, unequal pressure volume capacity; greater elastic potential energy; or

a force such as of an operator, motorized, mechanical, computerized, or other form of pressure resistance.

4. The family cell of claim 1 , whereby media is dynamically transferred from the second continuance cell or by any one, combination, or sum of:

decreased pressure volume capability, unequal pressure volume capacity; greater elastic potential energy; or

a force such as of an operator, motorized, mechanical, computerized, or other form of pressure resistance.

5. The family cell of claim 1 , further comprising:

a pump connected to the input port providing media into the first continuance cell.

6. The family cell of claim 1 , wherein the first continuance cell, the second continuance cell and the at least one additional continuance cell each having different elastomeric capabilities than each other.

7. The family cell of claim 6 , wherein the first continuance cell has a degree of elastomeric energy that is greater than the second continuance cell, which has a greater degree of elastomeric energy than the at least one additional continuance cell thereby providing sequential flow of the media from the first continuance cell to the second continuance cell to the at least one additional continuance cell.
