Sensor

A detector is a device or instrument that detects or identifies something, similar to a sensor.

例: The smoke detector went off when it sensed smoke in the room.

注記: The term 'detector' is often used in the context of identifying specific substances or signals, while 'sensor' is a more general term for a device that detects changes in the environment.

A transducer is a device that converts one form of energy into another. In the context of sensors, transducers convert physical quantities into electrical signals.

例: The transducer converted the physical quantity into an electrical signal for the control system.

注記: While all sensors are transducers, not all transducers are sensors. Transducers can convert various types of energy, while sensors specifically detect and respond to changes in the environment.

A probe is a device or instrument used to explore, examine, or measure something, similar to a sensor.

例: The medical probe was used to measure the patient's temperature.

注記: Probes are often used for investigative or exploratory purposes, while sensors are typically designed to detect and monitor specific changes in the environment.

注記: The term 'sensorial' encompasses the full range of sensory perception, not just the act of sensing itself.

Sensei is a term derived from Japanese meaning 'teacher' or 'mentor'. In English slang, it is used to refer to someone who is an expert or master in a particular field.
