  • Patent number: 5714808
    Abstract: A system for supplying at least one electrical apparatus with a touch control. The system may be utilized in a home automation system for supplying electrical equipment, e.g., light bulbs, motors, strip lights, electrical power points, etc., or may be utilized to form part of equipment, e.g., a lamp, lamp stand, etc. The system may include treated zones formed by chemical treatment of an electrically insulating support material to provide the zones with a reduced electrical impedance to allow leakage current flow. The treated zones may be electrically coupled to a detection input of an electrical control circuit to allow the leakage current to be detected by the detection input and enable the electrical control circuit to control a switch in accordance with the leakage currents, which are generated in the treated zone when a user touches the treated zone.
