What's the difference between detector and sensor?

Detector


Definition:

  • (n.) One who, or that which, detects; a detecter.

  • (19) SCADAR requires the acquisition of two digital images, taken at different object-to-detector distances.
  • (20) It has been found that the UV radiation-induced extreme state of the cells in a radiant culture produces distantly in an intact detector culture, which has only an optic contact with it, the cytopathic effect (CPE) as a repercussion of a specificity of morphological manifestations imprinted in the affected culture.

Sensor


Definition:

  • (a.) Sensory; as, the sensor nerves.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Different measurements were repeated for five sensors.
  • (2) A pressure sensor in the patient line prevents excessive inflow and outflow pressures by stopping the inflow or outflow pump respectively.
  • (3) As an inspiratory monitor in the curarized patient, the sensor responds quantitatively to persisting spontaneous tidal volumes of 1 ml.
  • (4) You're more likely to awake refreshed, because inside your mattress there's a special sensor that monitors your sleeping rhythms, determining precisely when to wake you so as not to interrupt an REM cycle.

  • (8) During the measurement, the values of previously selected features of sensor output signal are determined; then they serve as the input data for computation of concentrations of glucose and of interfering substances.
  • (9) Efforts to obtain long term, reliable direct measurements of blood pressures have not been successful because of blood clotting impairing the function of sensors, baseline drift, artifacts on measurements, and health hazard-related catheterization.
  • (10) The algorithm is an improvement over the sphere model in that it considers two distinct surfaces: an ellipsoid, to model the region of the skull on which the sensors are placed, and a sphere as the medium in which the current dipole model is considered.
  • (11) An electromagnetic flow sensor was placed around the middle uterine artery and electromyogram electrodes were attached to the uterus.
