Download the RUN App. Opt for Right-Sided Internal Jugular Tunneled Dialysis Catheters. ORLANDO, Fla.âIn patients selected for placement of a tunneled dialysis catheter (TDC), right internal jugular vein placement should be used preferentially to maximize catheter survival, according to a study presented at the NKF 2013 Spring Clinical Meetings.
A tunnel diode is a two-terminal device with an n-type semiconductor acting as cathode and a p-type semiconductor acting as anode. It is heavily doped, which in turn creates a narrow depletion zone like a Zener diode. The current-voltage characteristic of a tunnel diode has a strong non-linear nature, as well as a negative differential resistance region. Two distinct advantages of tunnel diodes are longevity and very high speed.
