donor
A person, organization, or country that gives something, especially money, information, or material goods.

The foundation depends on the generosity of private donors.
sensor
In technology, a component that detects a physical quantity, such as pressure, temperature, or position, and converts it into an electrical signal; a sensor or transducer.
Der Geber für die Tankanzeige ist defekt, deshalb zeigt sie immer voll an.
The sensor for the fuel gauge is defective, so it always shows full.
The noun 'Geber' (donor/sensor) is derived from the verb 'geben' (to give). The ending '-er' indicates the person or thing that carries out the action of the verb—here, someone or something that gives.
Der Spendenaufruf richtet sich an großzügige Geber.
The donation appeal is aimed at generous donors.
You can tell from the context whether a person or a technical component is meant. In social or financial contexts, such as donations or information, it means a person or organization. In technical contexts, such as a car or machine, it means a sensor.
Der wichtigste Geber für das Projekt möchte anonym bleiben.
The most important donor for the project wants to remain anonymous.
In the meaning of a person, 'Geber' (donor) is often part of compound nouns that describe more precisely what is being given. Examples include 'Geldgeber' (financial backer), 'Signalgeber' (signal provider), or 'Namensgeber' (namesake).
Ohne einen neuen Geldgeber kann die Firma nicht überleben.
Without a new financial backer, the company cannot survive.
In technology, 'Geber' (sensor) is almost always used in compounds that name the measured quantity. Typical examples are 'Druckgeber' (pressure sensor), 'Temperaturgeber' (temperature sensor), or 'Drehzahlgeber' (speed sensor).
Der Drehzahlgeber am Motor liefert falsche Werte.
The speed sensor on the engine is providing incorrect values.

In the next card game, Mia is the dealer and will deal the cards.
