1. A pump system comprising:

  • a power source;

    a pump;

    an electromagnet assembly that drives the pump;

    a controller that controls the power source to power the electromagnetic assembly with periodic electronic pulses, and that monitors a signal produced in the electromagnet to determine when a next electronic pulse will occur; and

    a sensor that senses an impulse response of the pump to the electronic pulses so that at least one of an amplitude and frequency component of an oscillation can be detected.
