I saw somebody come in here one day after shopping at Tower Records, and a CD he'd bought tripped the metal detector out there in Yamada's anteroom like he was wearing sleigh bells.
The detector was set to automatically lock the second doors if metal was detected on the persons of those passing through, and the wires leading out of it were encased in an aluminum tube, attached there on the left.
The detector is then over-lifted by the stud D S, and a spring catch falls into a notch at the rear.
The detector also shows that the lock has been tampered with, since even the right key cannot move the bolt until the overlocking has been performed.
I could tell some curious stories about thesedetector clocks, but their narration might be interpreted as pointing in directions I have no intention of indicating.
I hope, comfortably in bed, I saw the Detector inspected and found “correct.
The Universal Detectorshould make it possible to catch every wireless sound.
But, after Jack had gone out, he resumed his study of the detector a second time, desisting every time he heard a step outside.
Thurman had been so intent on his scrutiny of the detector that he did not hear him.
At that time he informed us that if he succeeded in producing a Universal Detector that it would be at the service of this government.
Then, for an hour or more, Jack described the Universal Detectorand answered scores of questions.
He was attempting then to get the Mooncat's nose turned away from the distant volcano ranges towards which she seemed determined to point when the detector needles slapped flat against their pins and the alarm bell sounded.
It would take a hand detector to spot us where we are, but it does look like a distress signal.
I figured then the Spy was involved in whatever he was planning; she can keep up with us at that rate, and she has considerably better detector reach than the Cat.
This, however, has been very largely superseded by the Magnetic Detector of Marconi and the Crystal Detector, both of which make the signals perceivable as buzzing sounds in the telephone.
The magnetic detector owes its existence to the fact that oscillations tend to destroy magnetism in iron.
In the magnetic detector the difficulty is overcome by making them change the magnetic condition of some iron wire which change in turn produces currents capable of operating a telephone.
The Crystal Detector achieves the same result in another way.
Most of these substances are crystalline in their nature, and hence the detector in which they are used gets its name.
Without a lie detector test on my testimony, my verbal statements to you, how do you know if I am tell the truth?
The liedetector test showed that he was telling a lie.
But I have seen individuals who have failed the lie detector test and who were just as innocent as they could be.
He was asked whether he would take a lie detector test, and he did.
All I want is a lie detector test, and you refuse to give it to me.
Because I have been over this for the longest time to get the liedetector test.
And following that, immediately give me the lie detector test after I do make the statement.
Now Mr. Warren, I don't know if you got any confidence in the lie detectortest and the truth serum, and so on.
I wouldn't suggest a lie detector test to testify the truth, We will treat you just the same as we do any other witness, but if you want such a test, I will arrange for it.
And I don't know whether I requested a lie detector test or not, but my attorney wasn't available.
Then he adjusted the sharp pointed wire on the detector until the point was just touching the crystal.
He showed the boys how they might get even clearer and louder tones than any they had yet obtained by adjusting the detector until the best possible contact was obtained with the crystal.
He and the doctor donned head phones, and Mr. Brandon manipulated the tuning coil and the crystal detector with a deftness that spoke of long experience.
The power and range needed by a given detector depends on the relative velocity--the greater that velocity, the more power, the greater range needed.
But both Bancroft and the boys found it a far more difficult matter to rig up a detector than they had imagined.
I suppose they'll have a detector on their boat or ashore.
During the war we used it as a detector to hear vessels at a distance--particularly subs, and it saved countless thousands of lives.
But if that detector is right we should be able to hear that other sub if she's near.
The detector is then moved back and forth slowly over the entire area and the radiation is automatically recorded at definite intervals, creating a “map” of the active area.
Solid State Counters The latest development is a tiny silicon (transistor-type) diode detector that can be made as small as a grain of sand and placed within the body with very little discomfort.
One drawback was that the vessel would have to stop so that the noise of its own engines would not disturb the listener, but this was largely overcome by trailing the detector a hundred feet or more from the stem of the ship.
The sound-detector worked just as well at night as in the daytime and a group of three boats would drop a pattern of bombs that would send the U-boat to the bottom.
Then his detector screen was lifted slowly from the viewplate.
He stared blindly through the useless viewplate in his helmet, then reached up slowly and carefully to place the infrared detectorbefore his eyes.
The shadowy outline of a man etched itself on the detector screen.
He concentrated his attention on the infrared detector that hung before his viewplate.
The simple magnetic needle, when used as above, becomes a detector of electricity.
If he'd just shoved it in a crack somewhere in the mountains, he'd know a detector might find it, more easily than before it was dug.
If he say no, I take a lie-detector test and he take a lie-detector test and maybe you will find one Communist in the FBI.
Anyway, anything you want to ask me--and you can ask Mr. Bringuier is that true or not, and let him and me take a lie detector test to see who is right on it.
I will stand a lie-detector test and invite him to take one, and I invite De Brueys, too, to ask De Brueys if that's true or not true he went to my place and tried to intimidate me.
And if that is not true, let him take a lie detector test and find out whether that is true or not true.
I heard that she took a lie detector test that helped free him.
A six circuit voltmeter and ground detector switch, for use on a three wire system, has four circuits for ground detector and two circuits for voltmeter readings.
To locate such troubles, however, should they occur, a ground detector is provided.
For this class of work the ground detector must be an instrument especially designed for high pressure circuits.
Crouse-Hinds =voltmeter and ground detectorradial switch=, arranged for mounting on the switchboard.
He hoped the lie-detector had been adjusted correctly.
He examined the indicators of the lie-detector with great care.
They needed no words; the lie-detector was telling them, perfectly obviously, that he was speaking the truth.
And farther out--well out--a cordon of diesel-powered detector ships swept space to the full limit of their prodigious reach.
Breathing a profoundly deep breath of relief he killed the big engine, cut in his fully-charged accumulators, and turned on detector and spy-ray.
He had to sleep at times, of course; but any ordinary detector rig can be set to sound off at any change in its status--and Samms' was no ordinary rig.
As the warning buzz sounded, both Lanko and Banasel looked over at the detector panel.
He paused, glanced toward the detector set, and tapped on the map again, then slowly traced out an area.
Many of my customers have located oil-containing faults and stratigraphic traps with my detector where all other instruments had failed.
Then Sandy strapped the detector on his chest and walked slowly up the mountain in darkness so intense and silent that it could almost be felt.
As previously Stated, the sensitiveness of a detector can be made greater by increasing the strength of the coil-field for a given current.
The power and range needed by a given detector depends on the relative velocity--the greater that velocity becomes, the more power, the greater range needed.
Only after he was certain that there were no sonar or otherdetector radiations did he propel himself onward, out into the estuary itself.
If there was any radiation that hard, there was no detector close enough to measure it.
Quentin insisted that it was not far away according to the proximity detector which was especially attuned to the bulk and metal composition of the space ship.
The proximity detector tells us we're over two hundred miles from there.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "detector" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word. Other words: amplifier; computer; detector; generator; parts; radar; relay; tube
