A second odor trap keeps drain gas sealed during urinal seal replacement, enabling immediate reuse and reducing odor release.
Resilient locking projections let a removable urinal outlet cartridge clear mineral build-up, easing extraction and reducing odor-related maintenance.
A dual-bag urine stowage system switches storage automatically, controls odor, and supports onboard water recovery in spacecraft.
Thermal imaging and strain gauges distinguish urine from feces in a toilet, enabling accurate excrement type and mass measurement.
Helical fins in a waterless urinal odor trap redirect stray sealant back to the barrier layer, extending seal life and reducing maintenance.
Targeted nozzle rings focus high-energy flush jets on the bowl-to-siphon transition and siphon surface to improve cleaning with minimal water.
Dual downward-sloping valves block drain odors and backflow without flush water or chemical sealants, while resisting debris and freezing.
An added odor trap closes during replacement to keep the urinal usable and prevent ammonia odor escape in large facilities.
A biodegradable funnel directs urine into a commode from a standing user, reducing splatter, cleaning, odor, and installation burden.
Automatic switching between urine storage bags and processing keeps spacecraft waste handling continuous and supports potable water recovery.
