The method can further be used to design and construct NMPV pumps significantly smaller in size than those currently available to the art without significant loss in pump performance.1 aForster, Fred, K.1 aBardell, Ron, L.1 aSharma, Nigel, R.  uhttp://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO2&Sect2=HITOFF&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsearch-bool.html&r=16&f=G&l=50&co1=AND&d=PTXT&s1=%22Bardell%3B+Ron%22.INNM.&OS=IN/%22Bardell;+Ron%22&RS=IN/%22Bardell;+Ron%22
