Abstract: Technology for testing biologic substances deposited in a toilet is described. In one aspect, a device for testing biologic substances is located within the bowl of the toilet. The biologic testing device includes methods for testing the biologic substances within the bowl of the toilet, in a diversion pipe of the toilet, or in a reservoir connected to or located in a toilet. The biologic testing device includes colorimetric indicators to show the presence of specific compounds, or the concentrations of specific compounds. A scanning device for reading the colorimetric results is a part of the biologic testing system. The scanning device is connected to a computing device which interprets the colorimetric results and, in some embodiments, converts from a colorimetric reading to a text-based analysis which is displayed for a user to review.

Abstract: Technology associated with automatically raising a toilet seat is described. In an example embodiment, a device for automatically raising a toilet seat includes a fluid-based movement source that generates a force upon actuation and a movement transmission mechanism configured to transfer the force to the toilet seat to raise the toilet seat from a lowered position to a raised position. The fluid-based movement source is fixable to a toilet having a toilet seat and a toilet bowl and the movement transmission mechanism is connected to the fluid-based movement source to receive the force and coupleable to the toilet seat.

Abstract: Various embodiments for conserving fluid based on the position of a toilet seat are presented. One example embodiment includes a toilet flushing system having a fluid regulation component and a position detector. The fluid regulation component is configured to regulate an amount of fluid used to flush a toilet during a flush cycle. The position detector is configured to detect whether the toilet seat is in a raised position or a lowered position. The position detector is coupled to the fluid regulation component to communicate whether the toilet seat is in the raised position or the lowered position. The fluid regulation component is further configured to regulate the amount of fluid used during the flush cycle based at least in part on whether the toilet seat is in the raised position or the lowered position.

Abstract: Technology associated with covering, protecting, and positioning portable electronic devices is described. In an example embodiment, a protective cover device includes a flap that is magnetically fastenable to a surface located on a backside of a portable electronic device. The protective cover device also includes a display protector attached to the flap and being positionable in a protective position to substantially cover a display of the portable electronic device. The display protector is articulatable to a position underneath a first side of the portable electronic device in which the flap and the display protector cooperatively prop up the portable electronic device in a landscape viewing position.
