Claim 16:
17. A method, comprising:
detecting, by a magnetic sensor, a strength of a first magnetic field component, a strength of a second magnetic field component, and a strength of a third magnetic field component,
wherein the first magnetic field component, the second magnetic field component, and the third magnetic field component are perpendicular to each other;

determining, by the magnetic sensor, a position of a first element based on the strength of the first magnetic field component and the strength of the second magnetic field component,
wherein a position of a first magnet corresponds to the position of the first element; and

determining, by the magnetic sensor, a position of a second element based on the strength of the third magnetic field component,
wherein a position of a second magnet corresponds to the position of the second element.
