Lock-in amplifiers were invented in the 1930's and commercialized in the mid 20th century as electrical instruments capable of extracting signal amplitudes and phases in extremely noisy environments ... They employ a homodyne detection scheme and low-pass filtering to measure a signal's amplitude and phase relative to a periodic reference. 2, record 1, English, - lock%2Din%20amplifier

Sense amplifiers respond to induced voltage impulses during the read cycle. In some systems, they are strobed during a critical time of the cycle, producing an active (high) output when a logical 1 is read, regardless of the induced polarity on the two ends of the sense/inhibit wires for each bit. 3, record 2, English, - sense%20amplifier
