Abstract: The lavatory has a housing in which a dish-like bowl having a seat is pivotably inserted. The bowl can be swivelled from a position of use into a flushing position. Furthermore, a cleaning apparatus which serves for cleaning the seat and the bowl with pressurized water in the flushing position is arranged in the housing. This cleaning apparatus has for this purpose a cover which overlaps the spray nozzles serving for cleaning the bowl and seat. In the flushing position, the cover and the bowl together bound a cleaning space which is sealed fluid-tight from the interior of the housing. During the cleaning process, even contaminants adhering stubbornly to seat surface or inner wall of the bowl are removed by the pressurized water and washed in the direction of the feces drain. After the cleaning with pressurized water, the bowl and the seat are dried with cold or hot air, for which purpose the cleaning apparatus is additionally provided with a fan.

Abstract: A circuit for transferring measured values from an incremental position measuring system wherein the analogue output signals of this incremental position measuring system are digitized and transferred via a counter to a computer which delivers them to an evaluation device. Between the counter and the computer there is provided an intermediate storage in order to avoid that the computer receives instable data during the processing time of the counter between two events, during which the counter passes from one counter state to the next one. By means of a synchronization circuit the computer controls the intermediate storage according to a priority sequence and such that this intermediate storage only reads counter states from the counter during time intervals which are greater than the processing time of the counter or at least equal thereto.
