A urinal screen can include a frame having: a first face; a second face opposite the first face; and a plurality of apertures extending through the first and second faces. The urinal screen can include a plurality of first posts extending from the first face of the frame and configured to at least partially dissipate splashing of urine that impacts the urinal screen; and a plurality of second posts extending from the second face of the frame and configured to at least partially dissipate splashing of urine that impacts the urinal screen; wherein: at least ⅓ majority of the plurality of first and second posts are parallel to each other; at least ⅓ of the plurality of second posts are parallel to each other; and the at least ⅓ majority of the plurality of firsts posts extend at a non-perpendicular angle from with respect to the first face of the frame.

A urinary device is attachable to a toilet and assists males in directing a flow of urine into the toilet. The device is installed between a toilet seat and tank and pivots to a vertical or near vertical position against the tank when not in use. A telescoping portion extends for tall or short males. The device may be installed on any standard toilet in a few minutes. A bypass may be included to direct urine into a drain avoiding the toilet bowl and the need to flush the toilet. The urinary device reduces or eliminates germs and odors on or around the toilet and is easy to clean using water and a household cleaner.

Systems for monitoring metabolites may include a sample collection system and a urinalysis system of or for a toilet. The sample collection system may be automated to collect sample urine from a toilet or toilet area, transport the sample to the urinalysis system, and/or the sample urine for analysis at a later time or after analysis by the urinalysis system. The urinalysis system may be automated by proactively providing test material on which a subject may provide a urine sample. Once the urine sample has been provided the urinalysis system may provide the test material to an analyzer for analysis. Results of the analysis of the test material and sample urine may be provided to a mobile device of the subject and/or a remote server. The urinalysis system may provide a urine sample to a mass spectrometry unit for analysis.

A urine deflector is configured to attach to a toilet seat and is made of a monolithic structure comprising an arcuate top member having a planar top surface integrally formed with an arc shaped projecting portion, the arc shaped projecting portion projecting downwardly from the top member, the projecting portion integrally formed, at each end of the arc shape, with a gravity assist drain portion, each gravity assist drain portion extending from the projecting portion at an angle from 30° to 60° from a plane defined by a top surface of the top member that facilitates directing urine liquid into a toilet bowl when the toilet seat is in either a seated position or an open position.

A cover system includes a cover and a fastener for at least temporarily rendering inoperative a urinal fixed to a wall and/or a floor, wherein the fastener connects the cover to the wall and/or the floor, and wherein the cover has a self-supporting body which, in the intended state of use, covers the urinal at least at an upper part at least up to its bowl opening. A cover for such a cover system is also provided.

A process for preparing a repellant smooth surface includes applying a coating composition onto a smooth surface of a substrate having hydroxyl functional groups thereon and an average roughness Ra of less than 4 μm. The coating composition includes: (i) a polymerizable silane or siloxane or both selected from the group consisting of dimethyldimethoxysilane, dimethoxy-methyl(3,3,3-trifluoropropyl)silane, dimethoxy(methyl)octylsilane, diethoxydimethylsilane, (ii) a solvent and (iii) an acid catalyst. The process further includes polymerizing the silane or siloxane or both from the hydroxyl functional groups on the smooth surface of the substrate to form a chemical layer of graft polymers having ends anchored to the smooth surface and applying a lubricant coating over the formed chemical layer to adhere and maintain the lubricant on the smooth surface and form a lubricant-entrenched smooth surface as the repellant smooth surface.

A coated smooth surface of a substrate repels liquids and viscoelastic materials and can have anti-staining and anti-biofouling properties. The smooth surface can be coated by applying a chemical layer on the surface and a lubricant. Such coated surfaces are useful for use in toilets, urinals, or other devices for the processing of liquids and viscoelastic materials such as solid or semi-solid metabolic waste of human digestive system. Such coated surfaces can also be applied to windows for buildings or vehicles such as automobiles or camera lenses to repel liquids (e.g. rain), ice, frost, insect residues, and birds' feces.

The invention relates to a urinal system (10), a water consumer system having such a urinal system, and a method for operating a urinal system. A urinal controller (8) of the urinal system has a data processing system (9) and/or is connected to a data processing system (9) which is designed to retrieve and/or receive and computationally evaluate data captured by at least one HF motion sensor (5) provided on a urinal bowl (1) and/or a urinal outlet (4) of the urinal system, and to recognize one of the following malfunctions based on the evaluated data and/or to initiate an action in order to avoid one of the fol-lowing malfunctions: that the urinal outlet is obstructed, and/or that there is a pressure fluctuation in a wastewater system connected to the urinal system, and/or that a fluid inlet (2) and/or an inlet valve (3) of the urinal system is malfunctioning, and/or that there is a failure of the HF motion sensor, and/or to recognize a predefined urinal usage situation and/or frequency of use on the basis of the evaluated data and, based on this, to adapt an opening time and/or an open-ing position and/or an opening frequency of the inlet valve to in a subsequent urinal flushing process.

The disclosure is the only product of its kind that is compact in size, requires low water, and has the ability to control urine splash back. This unprecedented product is uniquely designed with durable materials to ensure long term sustainability and can be easily installed in any location. The disclosure includes a handheld receptacle having a top orifice for receiving a urine and a bottom orifice for discharging the urine. The disclosure also includes a hose connected to the handheld receptacle in a rotatable connection, the hose comprising a trap run and a discharge end, wherein a user rotates the trap run and discharge end to a target holding the handheld receptacle.

A management system includes: a detection device including a main body that has a shape installable to a discharge port, electrodes that are provided in the main body and are detectors detecting a liquid, and a communication device that functions as a transmitter transmitting information regarding a detection result obtained by the detector; and an estimation device including a receiver that receives the information transmitted from the transmitter, and an estimator that estimates a discharge state of the liquid from the discharge port based on the information received by the receiver.
