1. The polarity of what?
2. Which polarity?
To me the idea of the name of the device should be what it does not how it does it.
The idea of having a name that describes what the device does sounds better:
Psycho Kinetic Energy meter, P.K.E meter for short.
Kenetic Unit Detector or K.U.D. of course this was a made up name that was derived from Kitchen Utensil Detector
Latent Image Sensor or L.I.S.. Again another made up name, Keith Marshall suggested naming the prop seen briefly in the same montage after Lost In Space because the device has a dome simular to the Robot B-9 from Lost In Space.
Another bit of logic was that the name should be something that is kind of catchie so as it could be shortened to just it's initals P.D.N.s is catchie P.R.s is not.

Mattel just got their info from our pages here look at that Slimeblower it's horrible. Half if not more or the PKE meter information they ripped from my web page and even then got some of that wrong.
