Intrauterine pressure catheters (IUPCs) are used to measure the strength of uterine contractions. Fetal scalp electrodes (FSEs) are used to monitor the baby's heartbeat. They are 2 totally separate things & can be used either together or separately or not at all. They would replace the external monitor belts that you wear during labor.

Where can you purchase catheters in bulk?

You can get a bulk deal on catheters by approaching the manufacturer directly instead of going through a retailer. Some wholesalers also are open to the public, and you can try them too.

Why don't the electrodes of a fuel cell deteriorate the way the electrodes of a battery do?

The electrodes of a storage battery, particularly the lead - lead dioxide batteries commonly used in starting vehicles, may deteriorate because the discharge reaction requires one or both of the solid electrodes used to dissolve partially in the electrolyte, and the recharging reaction requires depositing new solid on both electrodes from the electrolyte. In order to maximize the possible output of electric current from a battery during the discharge or working phase, the electrodes have special surface characteristics that maximize their effective surface area. Both the charging and discharging phases of use of a battery of this type often decrease the effective surface area of the solid electrodes, and the recharging in particular may deposit solid on one or both of the electrodes in a shape that causes it to short to the other electrode. This does not occur in fuel cells, because the solid electrodes of a fuel cell do not dissolve during use. Instead, the electrodes serve (1) as catalysts to promote the oxidation and reduction reactions of fuels supplied to the electrodes as liquids or gases dissolved in the electrolyte and (2) to accept or furnish the electrons needed for the reactions to occur at separate locations. Furthermore fuel cells never need recharging, because the reactants consumed are replenished from outside the fuel cell itself and not regenerated within the cell, as for a storage battery.


Ware is the low pressure switch?

This vehicle does not have a low pressure switch. It has a pressure transducer instead. The pressure transducer is located on the refrigerant line next to the alternator pulley.


What looks like a ink pen but uses pressure instead of ink to write?

A pencil looks like an ink pen but uses pressure from a graphite core to write instead of ink. The graphite is dispensed onto the paper as you apply pressure, simulating the writing action of an ink pen.


If you puncture a cylinder of carbon dioxide gas why does the gas rush out instead of flowing or leaking out?

When you puncture a cylinder of carbon dioxide gas, the gas rushes out quickly because of the pressure difference between the high pressure inside the cylinder and the lower pressure outside. This sudden release of pressure causes the gas to escape rapidly, creating a rush of gas instead of a slow flow or leak.


How should electrodes be placed on a patient who have lesions wounds or incisions on the chest?

When placing electrodes on a patient with lesions, wounds, or incisions on the chest, it is essential to avoid direct contact with the affected areas to prevent irritation or infection. Instead, electrodes can be positioned on adjacent, healthy skin or alternative sites, such as the limbs or back, depending on the type of monitoring required. Additionally, using conductive gel or adhesive pads can help ensure proper contact with the skin while minimizing discomfort. Always consult clinical guidelines for specific electrode placement based on the patient's condition.


Why in conductivity cell pt electrode is used instead of cu electrode?

Platinum electrodes are used in conductivity cells because they are inert, stable, and have a wide potential window, making them suitable for a wide range of electrolytes. Copper electrodes can be reactive in some electrolytes, leading to interference or contamination of the sample being measured.


Does it rain during low pressure?

Rain is usually associated with low pressure, but not all low pressure systems bring rain. For example, if it is cold enough, a low pressure-system will likely bring snow instead.
