Abstract
A system includes a product having one or more active membranes for transporting liquid by aid of an electric field. A humidity sensor provides information about wetting or moisture conditions near the active membrane. An electronic control circuit is designed to provide a voltage to the active membrane only when a certain humidity level is detected. An external electronic device provides an interface between a user and the product, wherein the interface includes a display to allow monitoring of the functions of the product.
