Patent ID: 7624757

Claim:
A faucet assembly comprising: a first fluid control valve configured to control fluid flow from a first inlet; a first manual control including a first control member, the first manual control being selectively operably coupled to the first fluid control valve; a first drive motor selectively operably coupled to the first fluid control valve; a second fluid control valve configured to control fluid flow from a second inlet; a second manual control including a second control member, the second manual control being selectively operably coupled to the second fluid control valve; a second drive motor selectively operably coupled to the second fluid control valve; each of the first fluid control valve and the second fluid control valve being actuatable through one of a first coupling connectable to the corresponding one of the first and second manual controls in a manual mode of operation and a second coupling connectable to the corresponding one of the first and second drive motors in an automatic mode of operation; and a controller in communication with the first and the second drive motors, the controller in the automatic mode of operation causing the first and second drive motors to cooperate in controlling a fluid flow rate in response to input from the first control member, and to cooperate in controlling a fluid temperature in response to input from the second control member.
