Abrégé

Technology for testing biologic substances deposited in a toilet is described. In one aspect, a device for testing biologic substances is located within the bowl of the toilet. The biologic testing device includes methods for testing the biologic substances within the bowl of the toilet, in a diversion pipe of the toilet, or in a reservoir connected to or located in a toilet. The biologic testing device includes colorimetric indicators to show the presence of specific compounds, or the concentrations of specific compounds. A scanning device for reading the colorimetric results is a part of the biologic testing system. The scanning device is connected to a computing device which interprets the colorimetric results and, in some embodiments, converts from a colorimetric reading to a text-based analysis which is displayed for a user to review.

Abrégé

An automated toilet system includes at least one toilet with a toilet bowl fluidly coupled via a flush valve to a source of water, a seat pivotally coupled to one of the toilet bowl, wall, or structural member; a seat mechanism; at least one seat position sensor configured to detect a position of the seat; a user detection sensor configured to detect at least one attribute of a user; and a sanitization system. A processor is communicatively coupled to at least one of the flush valve, the seat mechanism, the at least one seat position sensor, the user detection sensor, and the sanitization system. A computer memory includes instructions that cause the processor to perform functions including actuating: the flush valve; the seat mechanism, to one of raise the seat and lower the seat; and the sanitizing system to sanitize at least one of the toilet bowl and the seat.

Various embodiments for conserving fluid based on the position of a toilet seat are presented. One example embodiment includes a toilet flushing system having a fluid regulation component and a position detector. The fluid regulation component is configured to regulate an amount of fluid used to flush a toilet during a flush cycle. The position detector is configured to detect whether the toilet seat is in a raised position or a lowered position. The position detector is coupled to the fluid regulation component to communicate whether the toilet seat is in the raised position or the lowered position. The fluid regulation component is further configured to regulate the amount of fluid used during the flush cycle based at least in part on whether the toilet seat is in the raised position or the lowered position.

Abrégé

Technology associated with automatically raising a toilet seat is described. In an example embodiment, a device for automatically raising a toilet seat includes a fluid-based movement source that generates a force upon actuation and a movement transmission mechanism configured to transfer the force to the toilet seat to raise the toilet seat from a lowered position to a raised position. The fluid-based movement source is fixable to a toilet having a toilet seat and a toilet bowl and the movement transmission mechanism is connected to the fluid-based movement source to receive the force and coupleable to the toilet seat.
