A valve that is opened and closed using a solenoid (a cylinder pushing a piston that is electrically or hydraulically powered).

This component is electrically operated by the engine computer. It (on most vehicles) changes the oil pressure in the variable valve timing system to adjust the valve timing. It is very similar to the solenoids in use inside an automatic transmission.

A solenoid valve is a electromechanically operated valve that is controlled by an electric current. It essentially controls the cylinders and fluid power in the motor of your Nissan Pathfinder.
Solenoid valves are electromechanically operated valves which are controlled by an electric current, mostly used in fluidics. There are different types of solenoid valves, one or two port valves.
It is an electrically operated valve that when energized let's the vacuum through to the EGR valve to open it. Many also contain an electical switch that is closed when the vacuum is applied to the EGR valve to send a confirmation signal back to the ECM (engine control module).

The function of solenoid can be quite diverse. This is a valve that is operated electromagnetically. One of the common functions is to help in opening and closing of a laser shatter.
A solenoid will never become an electrical generator. The two articles in the question are two different devices. A solenoid, is usually associated with an electrically operated valve. An electrical generator is used to produced a voltage output of a specific value and an amperage of a specific value. Combined amps and volts results in a wattage output. It is the wattage rating that generators are sized by.
spool valveA spool valve is a multidirectional hydraulic or pneumatic valve usually operated by a joystick. It has several hoses attached to it leading to different pneumatic rams. When the joystick is pushed in one direction, it causes the valve to shut off one of the pneumatic hoses leading to the ram and open the other. Which way the joystick is pushed moves the piston in the ram in or out. Since you specified a solenoid operated valve it is operated not by a joystick that is directly connected to the valve but rather an electric joystick like the you would use in a video game and an electrical signal is sent to activate a solenoid that does the same thing but can be much farther away from the operator. Solenoid Actuated Pneumatic Spool ValveA solenoid actuated pneumatic spool valve is a spool valve actuated by an electric solenoid. They are often used in industrial automation and are usually controlled by a PC or a PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) rather than a manual switch. To reduce the size and power consumption of the solenoid, often the solenoid does not directly actuate the spool. Instead, the solenoid actuates a small internal valve which directs upstream air pressure to move the spool. This is called an air piloted solenoid actuated pneumatic spool valve. The air pilot mechanism typically requires about 40 PSI to operate reliably. If the air pressure upstream of the valve is going to be less than 40 PSI, the valve must be externally piloted, meaning that the pilot is connected to a separate air source which is above 40 PSI.
Yes if it has an electrically operated solenoid that prevents the shift lever from being moved until you put your foot on the brake.
