How does a diode work on an engine shutoff solenoid?
A diode is a one way check valve basically. it will let current pass one way but not the other.
What is the best type of valve used in heart valve replacement?
"As a registered nurse, I am aware there are two common types of aortic valves used for replacement. There are mechanical valves and valves from animals. The decision needs to be made with your doctor as with each there are positives and negatives. Choice on which valve will be determined by case to case."
Should a defibrillator be used on a patient with a mechanical heart valve replacement?
Yes. A damaged valve - the worst case scenario - is preferable to death by ventricular fibrillation.
Tricuspid valve other name?
Its called the atrioventricular valve or just AV valve
Which heart valve have three cusps?
The tricuspid valve or also called the right atrioventricular valve.
What is diode volve?
I think you mean 'diode valve'! A 'valve' is the British term for what Americans call 'tubes' or, more accurately, 'vacuum tubes'. So, a 'diode valve' is a thermionic valve generally used as a rectifier, much in the same way that a semiconducting diode is used, these days.

Why diode can't use as amplifier?
A2. For amplification to take place, one needs three terminals; an input, an output, and a control signal.This indicates the original " valve" naming; after a mechanical valve, where a small effort on a (hydraulic) valve may be used to control a larger effort of the controlled fluid.A1. If u meant why diode can't be used as an amplifier diode is used as a rectifier..it converts ac current to dc and there is an inbuilt voltage drop... so it can't be used as an amplifier
What is the direction of current flow in a diode valve?
Inside the diode valve the conventional curret flow is from anode to cathode. The electron flow is from cathode to anode.
What does valve mean?
A valve in the Plumbing sense is a mechanical device to open or close the water flow. It can be a screw operation called a 'Gate Valve' or a simple 1/4 turn handle called a 'Ball Valve' . These are more modern and efficient.
Why is a kink provided for a glass diode on the PCB?
To provide relief for any mechanical stress on the diode, which might otherwise shater.
What is impatt diode?
The read type diode are called impatt diode
Why is a diode called bidirectional?
Its not, a diode is unidirectional.
What are the two leads on a diode called?
The two leads on a diode are called the anode and the cathode.
What is the freewheeling diode operation?
Very often in translations from German to English the term 'free wheeling diode' for 'Freilauf-Diode' is used. Generally the correct translation for this term would be 'recovery diode'. The usage of the term 'free wheeling' only will be correct in mechanical aspects, e.g. the rear wheel of a bicycle or the clutch of the transmission line of a car.
What is the purpose is of a diode?
The purpose of a diode is to allow electric current to pass in one direction while blocking electric current in the opposite direction. It is for this reason that diode is usually referred as the check valve.
Will CPR or Defibrillation work on someone with a mechanical Mitral Valve?
Yes, CPR and defribrillation will work on someone with a mechanical mitral valve.
