Claim 8:
9. A method comprising:
providing respective components of an alternating current excitation signal to electrodes of a first sensor to generate an electric field between the electrodes and extending away from the first sensor and inside a body-receiving cavity configured to receive a body, the first sensor configured to sense a body position of the body in the body-receiving cavity relative to the electric field and a first surface of the first sensor, and the electrodes being fixedly spaced apart on a shared substrate surface that is parallel to the first surface and adjacent to the cavity; and
receiving a response signal from the first sensor in response to the excitation signal, wherein a magnitude of the response signal is influenced by a dielectric characteristic of a gap filling member that is interposed between the first surface of the first sensor and the body-receiving cavity configured to receive the body, wherein the body-receiving cavity configured to receive the body and the electrodes of the first sensor are on respective opposite sides of the first surface of the first sensor.
