Gadget/widget/gizmos

English to Chinese Tech/Engineering Engineering (general)
I know they are all similar, but the document I am translating suggests there are differences between the three. (It gives no clue what specific differences they are.) What are the proper Chinese translations for each of them?

确实不好翻译。以下只是 FYI。

For differences between gadget and gizmo:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gadget

A gadget is a device that has a useful specific practical purpose and function. Gadgets tend to be more unusual or cleverly designed than normal technology. In some circles the distinction between a gadget and a gizmo is that a gizmo has moving parts, whereas a gadget need not have them. For example, a nifty digital watch would be a gadget, while an analog watch would be a gizmo.


For widget and gadget:
http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/widget

widget (plural widgets)

An unnamed, unspecified, or hypothetical manufactured good or product.
A component of a graphical user interface that the user interacts with
A floating widget or other device inside a beer can, meant to create foam when opened
A small scraping tool consisting of a blade and a handle, commonly used to remove paint from glass and other smooth surfaces

disagree clearwater : widget在IT领域的意思是“窗口组件”,而不是什么“小程序”。再说了,albertdeng已经点明了是Engineering领域的用语,应当是“小装置”。
