    摘要: The pressure pad which pressure-sensing fabric which is within a gasket and which measures the distribution of pressure on the gasket. Thus, the gasket protects the pressure-sensing fabric from damage due to water or mechanical trauma. The pressure pad includes multiple piezoresistive depositions of piezoresistive depositions ink or paste which act as individual pressure-sensing points. Conductive tracks between the piezoresistive depositions transmit the pressure measurements in the form of electrical signals. The pressure-sensing fabric is connected to a controller and transmits pressure measurements to the controller. Algorithms stored on the controller create a map of absolute mechanical loading to each pressure-sensing point of the pressure pad. The gasket may be mounted beneath a toilet or between plumbing joints. The pressure pad may detect weaknesses in the gasket, a toilet user's weight, a weight of excrement added to the toilet, or a toilet user's posture.

    摘要: The present invention comprises a piston-flush toilet system that may use appreciably less water than commonly used toilets today. Such a piston-flush toilet system may comprise a bowl to accept waste and a chamber comprising a waste inlet connected to the bowl and a waste outlet connected to a sewer system or the like. A piston may be disposed within the chamber capable of sealing the waste inlet.

    摘要: A specimen collection receptacle formed by a channel disposed within the wall of a toilet bowl. The receptacle is located above the weir water line. The receptacle comprises a channel open to the interior of the bowl having opposed non-parallel side walls. The side walls may be joined opposite the opening. The side walls may be joined by a bottom wall. The bottom wall may be arcuate. The side walls may be non-planar. The walls may exhibit a roughened surface. The receptacle may comprise an optical window. The receptacle may comprise a cuvette. The receptacle may be in communication with one or more light emitting probes. The receptacle may be self-cleaning. The receptacle may comprise a replaceable module disposed in the wall of the toilet bowl. The receptacle may be located at the front of the toilet bowl. The receptacle may be disposed in a toilet bowl liner or insert.
