Abstract: A water closet with a tilting cover acting as a bowl includes one mobile portion forming a bowl for receiving solid and liquid matter and pivoting around a horizontal axis and able by rotating through approximately 180.degree. to occupy two positions, namely one position for the bowl receiving the matter and the other position when the bowl is upturned and with one fixed portion disposed under the bowl and into which the contents of the bowl is emptied when the latter passes from the first position to the second position.

Abstract: A device for treating human and animal dejecta with microwaves includes a duct for conveying dejecta material, a microwave applicator surrounding the duct in an irradiation zone, and a microwave generator coupled to the microwave applicator. A driven transporter screw, provided in the duct upstream of the microwave applicator, moves the dejecta material through the duct. An inlet, coupled to an upstream zone of the duct, feeds dejecta material to be treated into the duct adjacent the screw. A vapor extractor is coupled to duct immediately downstream of the irradiation zone to receive treated dejecta material immediately on leaving the irradiation zone. A condensation vat is connected to the extractor and vented through a chimney having a filter.
