Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0953690A1] The signal generation method uses a sensor device (10) with a sensor element (12) for detecting a variation in the chemical nature, composition and/or temperature of the fluid within a urinal bowl or aquarium, for providing a signal indicating switching from a passive condition to an active condition when the detected variation in the sensor element output voltage exceeds a threshold value.
