New research may take the current 'gold standard' for heart valves to a new level of reliability. A team of researchers has developed a way to improve overall blood flow through the valves, so the ...

It's no secret that OEMs want hydraulic controls that simplify mobile-equipment design and are versatile enough to handle a range of applications. Modular load-sensing valves fit this bill and are an ...

The Evolution of Gate Valve Manufacturing Gate valve production has undergone substantial changes over the past two decades. Early designs focused primarily on basic shut-off functions, but current ...

Turbine bypass valves are one of the most difficult applications in a power plant. Keeping these valves operating efficiently and avoiding unexpected failures is critical for plant operation. When ...

• Standard solenoid valves pose an ignition danger near hazardous materials. • Valves with pneumatic and magnetic actuators require no electricity, making them inherently safe in hazardous locations.

Calcification is the bane of the human heart valve. Human heart valves are plagued by stenosis 1 – or the thickening or stiffening of the valve leaflets caused by a build-up of calcium. Millions of ...
