Waste collection and disposal system for toilets
A waste collection and disposal unit including a tank, a float-switch sensing system, and a grinder pump. The tank contains a contoured and sloping floor, a front section, a back section, two side sections and a one-piece lid, which is securable onto the other sections of the tank. The floor slopes downwardly from below the float-switch sensing system to below the grinder pump at an angle of at least about 5 degrees and is contoured in a downward curved arc between the front and back sections of the tank.
Automated toilet
The automated toilet comprises a toilet with a motorized pump in line with the drain pipe, a sensor, a control box, and a flush valve actuator. The sensor detects the presence of a user in front of the toilet and notifies the control box. When a user arrives, the control box starts the pump to draw air through the rim and into the sewer line, which removes odors while the toilet is being used. When the user leaves, the control box activates the flush valve actuator, causing the toilet to flush. The control box may run the pump for a predetermined time interval so that the pump may assist in emptying the bowl. When the bowl has emptied, the pump may continue to draw odors from the bowl until the control box shuts the pump off.

Obstruction clearing assembly
An obstruction clearing assembly for clearing an obstruction from the P-trap to the waste outlet of the toilet. The assembly is positioned inside the toilet is accessible and controlled outside the fixture by a foot pedal which is connected to a flexible cable, which are aligned diagonally by a plurality of at least a dozen threads located outside of the assembly. A cable is connected to a chain with multiple joints and rotates the pulley wheels and rotors inside the assembly. The rotors move in conjunction with the obstruction inside the pipeline. A sleeve provides a rigid frame for the cable. A tensioner connects the cable and the cross bar. The pulley rollers change the direction of the cable from a diagonal to a vertical position and vice versa while the cross bar holds the tensioner that is connected to the chain and toilet base.

Waterless urinal and method therefor
A waterless urinal for a vehicle, the urinal including a fluid bowl having a drain, and a waterless urinal cartridge disposed within the drain. The cartridge includes a housing having a waste reservoir disposed within the housing that holds a predetermined volume of urine, and a drainage aperture configured so that an amount of urine exceeding the predetermined volume of urine flows through the drainage aperture to exit the housing. A cover is coupled to the housing and forms part of a surface contour of the bowl, the cover includes a sealing fluid reservoir and fluid passages for directing urine from the bowl to the sealing fluid reservoir. The sealing fluid reservoir is in conmmnication with an internal cavity of the housing, the waste reservoir includes at least one fluid flow control feature configured to restrain urine movement within the waste reservoir in response to a change in vehicle dynamics.
Waste drain systems and methods for a toilet
A waste drain system is configured to be coupled to a toilet. The waste drain system includes a conduit including a main body defining an internal passage having a central longitudinal axis, and one or more cutting blades extending from the main body toward the central longitudinal axis. The one or more cutting blades are configured to cut one or more items that pass through the internal passage.

AN ORGANIC WASTE TREATMENT PROCESS AND DEVICE
A thermophilic enzymatic biosynthesis (TEBS) device (50) produces outputs of newly synthesized substances, stabilized matter and fully recovered organic material, wherein the preferred device is a dry closet employing multistage treatment of organic solid, liquid and gaseous wastes. Said contemplated device comprises a multiphase thermophilic environment chamber (MTEC) (1) having a mixing zone (4), a cultivation zone (12), a pasteurization zone (24) and a germination zone (7) which utilizes a multiphase germination (62). The device comprises a thermodynamic pathway (29) and a functional respiration (64) which is directed toward an ammine reaction chamber (ARC) (3), which includes an oxidation surface (47) having reactivity with ammonia, producing a metal ammine complex. The device further comprises a subterranean uptake chamber (SUC) (2) which includes a plant growth medium (44) where gases received from the ARC (3) disperse to an uptake root structure (46), thereby reducing carbon dioxide emissions.
