Zusammenfassung:A position sensor assembly includes: a first elongated electrical conductor, a second elongated electrical conductor, extending substantially in parallel with the first elongated electrical conductor, and a movable electrically conductive contact component, configured to move along lengths of the first elongated electrical conductor and the second elongated electrical conductor, simultaneously contacting both of the first elongated electrical conductor and the second elongated electrical conductor at different positions along each of their lengths. In such an assembly, the first elongated electrical conductor and the second elongated electrical conductor typically have a combined resistance of less than 1 ohm per meter. In any event, such an assembly can be used in a signal-reflection-based position-sensing system.
