A pump includes a reservoir, a port, and a plunger. The reservoir delivers a liquid by discharging the liquid through the port coupled to the reservoir. A piston of the plunger defines a liquid side of the reservoir and a non-liquid side of the reservoir whereby movement of the plunger towards the liquid side of the reservoir discharges liquid through the port. The pump also includes a reference-volume assembly and/or a linear position sensor. The reference-volume assembly is coupled to the reservoir at an opposite end of the reservoir relative to the port and includes a reference-volume chamber in acoustic communication with the non-liquid side of the reservoir, a speaker disposed within the reference-volume chamber, and a reference microphone disposed within the reference-volume chamber. The pump estimate the amount of liquid discharged from the reservoir.

The pump according to claim 2, further comprising a variable-volume microphone disposed within the reservoir configured to sense a sound wave within the reservoir, the sound wave originating from the speaker. 4. The pump according to claim 1, further comprising: an additional reservoir configured to deliver an additional liquid;an additional port coupled to the additional reservoir and configured to discharge the additional liquid; andan additional plunger having an additional piston coupled to an additional shaft, wherein the additional piston is disposed within the additional reservoir in sliding engagement with an inner surface of the additional reservoir, wherein the additional piston defines a liquid side of the additional reservoir and a non-liquid side of the additional reservoir whereby movement of the additional plunger towards the liquid side of the additional reservoir discharges liquid through the additional port; wherein the reference-volume assembly is further coupled to the additional reservoir at an opposite end of the additional reservoir relative to the additional port, wherein the reference-volume chamber is further in acoustic communication with the non-liquid side of the additional reservoir. 5. The pump according to claim 4, wherein at least one of the first and second reservoirs are attachable to the reference-volume assembly. 6. The pump according to claim 5, further comprising a manifold, the manifold comprising: a first connector port coupled to the port;a second connector port coupled to the additional port; a discharge port; anda liquid path fluidly connecting together the first and second connector ports to the discharge port. 7. The pump according to claim 6, wherein the manifold is attachable to the first and second connector ports. 8. The pump according to claim 4, further comprising a variable-volume microphone disposed within the reservoir configured to sense a sound wave within the reservoir. 9. The pump according to claim 8, further comprising an additional variable-volume microphone disposed within the additional reservoir configured to sense the sound wave within the additional reservoir. 10. The pump according to claim 4, further comprising a variable-volume microphone disposed on the reference-volume assembly configured to sense a sound wave within the reservoir. 11. The pump according to claim 10, further comprising an additional variable-volume microphone disposed on the reference-volume assembly configured to sense the sound wave within the additional reservoir. 12. The pump according to claim 1, further comprising: a linear position sensor configured to sense a position of the shaft. 13. The pump according to claim 1, further comprising a housing, wherein the reservoir is disposed within the housing; and wherein the plunger is disposed within the housing. 14. The pump according to claim 1, further comprising an actuator coupled to the shaft to actuate the plunger. 15. The pump according to claim 14, further comprising a housing, wherein the actuator is disposed within the housing. 16. The pump according to claim 12, further comprising a housing, wherein the linear position sensor is disposed within the housing. 17. The pump according to claim 1, wherein the piston comprises a seal disposed along a periphery of the piston. 18. The pump according to claim 1, wherein the plunger is moveable between a fully discharged position and a fully loaded position, wherein the reference-volume chamber is in fluid communication with the non-liquid side of the reservoir when the plunger is positioned anywhere between the fully discharged position and the fully loaded position. 19. The pump according to claim 1, wherein the conduit further comprises a seal configured to receive the shaft and acoustically seal the non-liquid side of the reservoir as the shaft engages with the conduit. 20. The pump according to claim 1, wherein the reference-volume assembly further comprises an acoustic port in acoustic communication with the reference-volume chamber and the non-liquid side of the reservoir.
