I'm researching that piston pump project, and can't find anything from
LLNL after approx. 2005 :( . Did they stop working on that?
Yeah, I don't recall seeing anything new from them in a long time. Most
likely, they simply ran out of funding, given the lack of funded applications
for the technology, and the general impoverishment of LLNL after the end of
the Cold War.
