US Patent 10036154, titled "Urinal anti-splash device," has a filing date of November 3, 2016, and an issue date of July 31, 2018.

Here's a breakdown of its term adjustments, extensions, and related applications:

Patent Term Adjustment (PTA):
The provided patent information does not explicitly state the amount of Patent Term Adjustment granted for US10036154. PTA is granted to compensate for certain administrative delays by the USPTO during patent prosecution, such as failing to issue an office action within 14 months of filing, respond to a reply within four months, or issue the patent within 36 months of filing. The calculation of PTA is typically included in the Issue Notification Letter sent to applicants and also officially indicated on the patent itself. Without direct access to the patent document or its prosecution history on the USPTO Patent Center, the exact PTA cannot be determined.

Patent Term Extension (PTE):
There is no indication that US10036154 has been granted a Patent Term Extension. PTE is typically available for patents on certain human drugs, food or color additives, medical devices, animal drugs, and veterinary biological products to restore time lost during premarket government approval from a regulatory agency like the FDA. Since the patent relates to a "urinal anti-splash device," it does not fall into these categories, making it ineligible for PTE.
