Knife Pleated Kilts Knife pleating (or side pleating) is the most commonly used pleating style for kilts today -- so much so that most Highland Dress enthusiasts are barely aware that other pleating styles are possible.
A transistor is a semiconductor device used to amplify and switch electronic signals and electrical power.It is composed of semiconductor material with at least three terminals for connection to an external circuit.he transistor provides current gain, allowing a relatively large current in the collector to be switched by a much smaller current into the base terminal. The ratio of these currents varies depending on the type of transistor, and even for a particular type, varies depending on the collector current.
A Thyristor is a Silicon Controlled Rectifier (SCR) which is functionally similar to a transistor. When voltage is applied to the gate, the SCR turns on (forward voltage onl â¦ y) and conducts. thyristor is a solid state three terminal electronic power  switch with two power terminals which carry the operational part of  the device current and one gate or trigger â¦ terminal which is used  to switch on the thyristor when required.
