Optical mark recognition (OMR) is a device that can read marks written in pen or pencil. The places where the pen or pencil marks can be made are clearly shown in the image on the right (in this example, the numerical lozenge is shaded in each response using a pen). The position of the mark is stored in the computer's memory after being read by the OMR device.

A sensor is a device that inputs data to a computer; the data is a measurement of some physical quantity that is continuously changing (for example, temperature, light, moisture, etc.). These physical quantities are analogue in nature. Since computers only understand digital data (Is and Os), the information from the sensors needs to be converted; this is done using an analogue to digital converter (ADC).

What is the difference between the Address Bus and the Data Bus?
They do the same thing just for different components
The Address Bus will tell the processor where to get data from the Ram (Like an address) while the data bus manages the actual transfer of the data.
The Address Bus will move data from the CPU to the RAM, and the Data bus with tell the CPU where the instructions are held
The Address Bus manages voltage for the CPU while the Data Bus manages transistors.
