Stimuli are signals that trigger the senses. Receptors detect the stimuli and neurons send the signals to the brain where they're interpreted. Each sense organ includes receptors that capture relevant stimuli for transmission to the brain. The receptors in the skin are mechanoreceptors and thermoreceptors.
AWWA Butterfly valves are quick opening valves that consist of a metal circular disc or vane with its pivot axes at right angles to the direction of flow in the pipe, which when rotated on a shaft, seals against seats in the valve body. They are normally used as throttling valves to control flow.
Poppet valves are used in most piston engines to open and close the intake and exhaust ports in the cylinder head. The valve is usually a flat disk of metal with a long rod known as the valve stem attached to one side.
