Abstract: A toilet system includes a transport conduit, a flush member, an outer seal element which may include one or more ventilation passages there through, and an actuator system. All of these components may be mounted on a support structure which is installed on the slab or other foundation in the area of a toilet room and adjacent to a wall of the toilet room. A holding tank is located on the opposite side of the toilet room exterior wall from the support structure or other arrangement for supporting the transport conduit and other components of the system. The holding tank includes a ventilation stack and fan to induce airflow through the toilet system. The flush member and the actuator system cooperate to move excreta collected in the transport conduit to the holding tank. The outer seal element and actuator system cooperate to maintain a desired seal between the transport conduit and holding tank.

Abstract: A method using a central computer and work station for managing inventory. To dispense inventory to consumers, a system user is issued a card imprinted with a personal user bar code. This user bar code is read into the computer and subsequently verified through the entry of individual user access data to ensure the user is authorized. To issue an item to a consumer, the user must next identify through an input means the particular consumer to whom the item is to be issued. The item to be issued is imprinted with an item bar code. After identifying the consumer, the item bar code is read into the work station and converted to issued-item data. The issued-item data is communicated from the work station to the central computer, where the issued item is decremented from inventory data. The central computer then determines whether each issued item is chargeable to the particular consumer.
