A Tesla valve, called a valvular conduit by its inventor, is a fixed-geometry passive check valve. It allows a fluid to flow preferentially in one direction, without moving parts. The device is named after Nikola Tesla , who was awarded U.S. patent 1,329,559 in 1920 for its invention.
Although studied in a unidirectional manner for many years, the bi-directional hypothesis was first described and tested in detail by Aravena et al. [1] These authors utilized the Action-Sentence Compatibility Effect (ACE), a task commonly used to study the relationship between action and language, to test the effects of performing simultaneous ...
There develops a self-perpetuating rapid and abnormal activation. ("Circus Movement" is another term for this.) Conditions necessary for re-entry include a combination of unidirectional block and slowed conduction. [2] Circus movement may also occur on a smaller scale within the AV node (dual AV nodal physiology), a large bypass tract is not ...
Unidirectional may refer to: simplex communication, in communications theory; Half-duplex signaling behavior, using ITU standards; Uni-directional vehicle, a railcar ...
A teacher could trick his AP Psychology students by saying, "Suggestibility is the distortion of memory through suggestion or misinformation, right?" It is likely that the majority of the class would agree with him because he is a teacher and what he said sounds correct. However, the term is really the definition of the misinformation effect.
Diaphragm valves (or membrane valves) consists of a valve body with two or more ports, a flexible diaphragm, and a "weir or saddle" or seat upon which the diaphragm closes the valve. The valve body may be constructed from plastic , metal or other materials depending on the intended use.
An isolation valve is a valve in a fluid handling system that stops the flow of process media to a given location, usually for maintenance or safety purposes. [1] They can also be used to provide flow logic (selecting one flow path versus another), and to connect external equipment to a system. [ 2 ]
A unidirectional network (also referred to as a unidirectional gateway or data diode) is a network appliance or device that allows data to travel in only one direction. Data diodes can be found most commonly in high security environments, such as defense, where they serve as connections between two or more networks of differing security ...
