	Detector - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		There are optical detectors that are effectively thermometers, responding purely to the heating effect of the incoming radiation, such as pyroelectric detectors, Golay cells, thermocouples and thermistors, but the latter two are much less sensitive.
		Cryogenic detectors are sufficiently sensitive to measure the energy of single x-ray, visible and near infra-red photons (Enss 2005).
		In an AM radio receiver, a "detector" is a circuit or device that recovers the signal of interest from the modulated wave.

	Bullshit Detector - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bullshit Detector was the name of a series of compilation LPs put together by the punk band Crass and released on their Crass Records label.
		Three editions were released between 1980 and 1984, consisting of demo tapes, rough recordings and artwork that had been sent to the band.
		The title Bullshit Detector was derived as a reference to the Clash song "Garageland" from their first LP The Clash.

	The SNO Detector
		The large size of the detector compensates for the rareness of the events, while the location deep underground shields from the high energy cosmic ray background.
		Calibration of the detector is an integral part of data acquisition process and the most important aspect of the analysis.
		This conversion is complicated because the sensitivity of the detector is position dependent and is different for electrons, gamma rays and neutrons.

	Smoke Detector (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		First Floor – Smoke detectors should be placed on the ceiling in the hallway near a stairwell to the second floor, unless there is a bedroom on the first floor.
		In this case, a smoke detector should also be placed outside the bedroom door.~ Placing the detector more than 6 feet from a kitchen or bathroom door will help to avoid alarms set-off by cooking or steam.
		The same study showed all the inoperable detectors tested in 1992 were at least 5 years old and predated a 1987 change in product standards that reduced sensitivity to reduce nuisance alarms.

	IAAT (Astronomy): ORFEUS - The Echelle Detector
		The detector is flooded with Argon gas when it is not pumped to prevent air and humidity to flow into the detector housing through small leaks, which are always present.
		For this reason the detector is pumped and flooded with Argon gas in certain time intervals, even when it is already mounted in the ASTRO-SPAS (image).
		By varying the voltage of the third plate it is possible to control the gain of the detector during flight.

	Introduction of Gas Detector Tube (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Today, important factors that may affect the accuracy of detector tube include the fluctuation of inner diameters of detector tubes and that of the resistances of the filling reagents and packing material to the sample flow.
		Almost all Gastec detector tubes are calibrated based on a relative humidity of 50%, and their indications are not affected when the humidity is in the range of 0 to 99%.
		As detector tubes contain sensitive reagents that are ready to react, and some reagents might be corrosive, care should be taken for their storage and disposal.

	Best Radar Detector Reviews '05 - Conclusions
		Placing your trust into a radar detector takes time and requires a lot of driving time behind the wheel and a proven historical track-record with a variety of different speed trap encounters.
		Radar detectors mounted on the driver’s side tended to face to the left, radar detectors mounted center tended to face straight, and radar detectors mounted on the passenger side tended to face to the right.
		Other than not having the newer POP nor Ku capabilities, this radar detector is still an incredible performer and we really wouldn'tfeel any less protected driving with it [in the states] as compared to the newer radar detectors.
