Abstract

L'invention porte sur un appareil et sur un procédé pour réduire une diaphonie mutuelle entre de multiples capteurs capacitifs utilisés dans des toilettes électroniques et entre de multiples capteurs capacitifs utilisés dans un robinet électronique et un distributeur de savon électronique. La présente invention concerne de manière générale un appareil et un procédé pour réduire une diaphonie mutuelle entre des capteurs capacitifs. Plus particulièrement, la présente invention concerne la réduction d'une diaphonie mutuelle entre des capteurs capacitifs utilisés dans des applications de plomberie, telles que des robinets électroniques, des toilettes électroniques et des accessoires électroniques associés tels que des distributeurs de savon électroniques, par exemple.
