ABSTRACT:
A position sensing apparatus has an insulating body with an interior surface defining a void within the insulating body. Electrodes extend through the body and terminate as electrical contacts on the interior surface. Two non-mixing fluids with distinct electrical properties are positioned in the void. This results in a first set of electrical signals on a first set of electrical contacts and a second set of electrical signals on a second set of electrical contacts. The first set of electrical signals and the second set of electrical signals specify a first angular inclination value (pitch) and a second angular inclination value (roll) characterizing the position of the sensing apparatus.
