inhalers
I don't understand the overall process here, but especially the queried word:
Следующий пример – приставка для ингалятора с гелиево-кислородной смесью для детей и взрослых с ослабленными легкими. Задача, которую нам предстояло решить: стандартным ингалятором не могли пользоваться дети и взрослые с ослабленными легкими из-за высокого сопротивления контура аппарата. Мы нашли решение, изобрели приставку, **улавливающую** попытку вдоха человека и помогающую ему вдохнуть смесь через контур фильтров и трубок за счет увеличения скорости потока смеси. Затем приставка **улавливает** попытку выдоха и снижает скорость потока смеси до базового, чтобы человек не захлебнулся.
Draft translation:
The next example is an adapter for inhalers with a helium-oxygen mixture for children and adults who have weakened lungs. The task we had to solve was that standard inhalers can’t be used by children and adults with weak lungs because of high resistance from the device’s loop resistance . We found a solution, invented an adapter that retains [??]the person’s attempts to inhale and helps him to breathe the mixture through the loop of filters and tubes by increasing the flow rate of the mixture. Then the device retains the attempt to exhale and lowers the flow rate of the mixture back to the base rate, so that the person doesn’t suffocate.
Thanks in advance!

Comment: "Oh dear, a photo finish! But Max's post is at the top of the list, so I guess it came in micro-seconds before Naveen's. Thanks to you both. (Oddly, "to detect" is the first meaning given in my old Smirnitsky paper dictionary, which I had not consulted earlier. The four online dictionaries I used gave this definition not at all, or only under "mathematics" [Multitran])."
