Anyone ever see a non-geared oil pump?

What would you call the pump Honda uses in Accords and Civics (or used
to use)? If I recall correctly, it was a 5 lobed rotor which ran
inside a 6 lobed ring. The ring rotated along with the rotor and the
rotor lobes would sweep through the indentations between the lobes in
the ring. In this way it had positive displacement, sort of like a
cross between a Wankel and a rotary vane pump. Internal lobed pump?
