To add to my previous post about the extra handle bar, here's a picture I took in China. It's a handicap urinal in the washroom of the Bund Sightseeing Tunnel in Shanghai. Never seen this anywhere else before.

As for the newly installed automatic toilet flusher, my last experience with it seemed to prove to me without a shadow of a doubt that they should have stayed with the manual lever. The darn thing flushed when I sat down after lining the seat with toilet paper, flushed three times while wiping, and flushed once I stood up after I was done, but before I could push the toilet paper off the seat into the bowl. Five flushes when only one well-timed flush would have done the job. I think the problem stems from the fact that the sensor points at the right shoulder of the s(h)itter, so as s/he bends forward for any reason (say, to read a newspaper or to wipe), the shoulder dips below the sensor's path.

Anyway, enough on that subject.
