  • Patent number: 11952763
    Abstract: A toilet overflow prevention assembly for capturing overflowing water from a toilet includes a collar that is comprised of a flexible material. The collar can be positionable around a bowl of a toilet thereby facilitating the collar to capture water overflowing from the bowl. Additionally, the collar is comprised of a fluid impermeable material to inhibit the water from passing therethrough. A drain is integrated into the collar to drain the water outwardly therefrom. A closure is hingedly coupled to the collar and the closure is positionable in a locked position when the collar is positioned in the closed position for retaining the collar in the closed position.

  • Patent number: 11772158
    Abstract: A method of selectively oxidizing one or more target metals in an alloy comprising target and non-target metals is provided. The method comprises the steps of: i) melting the alloy and exposing the molten alloy to simultaneous fragmentation and oxidation in the presence of an oxygenated atomizing gas under conditions sufficient to yield an oxidation potential that oxidizes the one or more target metals in the alloy and does not oxidize the non-target metal(s); and ii) allowing the treated alloy to solidify. The method is useful to purify a non-target base metal. The method is also useful to produce a metal compound comprising a desired content of one or more oxidized target metals above the theoretical maximum generally achieved by thermal plasma spray surface coating applications.
