摘要:
In one embodiment, an apparatus comprises a reservoir for containing a fluid, a first actuator, a transfer structure, and a second actuator. The first actuator is configured to exert a first force on the reservoir when moved from a first configuration to a second configuration such that a first volume of fluid within the reservoir is communicated out of the reservoir. The transfer structure is disposed between the first actuator and the reservoir and has a surface configured to engage the reservoir such that the first force exerted by the first actuator is distributed across a surface of the reservoir engaged by the transfer structure. The second actuator is configured to exert a second force on the reservoir when the second actuator is moved from a first configuration to a second configuration such that a second volume of fluid within the reservoir is communicated out of the fluid reservoir.
