Pet Remains Memorial Coating Substrate Customization
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing methods for creating memorials from pet remains are limited in terms of form and appearance, failing to cater to individual preferences of pet owners.
Innovation Solution
A method involving the mixing of small particles derived from pet remains into a coating material, which is then applied to a substrate of the pet owner's choice, allowing for customization of the memorial's form and appearance.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a mixture of bone ash and potter's clay or resin is used to make decorations, then the memorial can be produced with pet remains, but the form and appearance are restricted and cannot be customized
Solution Approach 1:
The invention separates the pet remains processing into independent small particles that can be freely mixed with different coating materials and applied to various substrates, enabling customization without complex integrated processes
Solution Approach 2:
The small particles of pet remains serve as a universal component that can be applied to multiple types of substrates (wooden, metallic, ceramic, plastic, glass) with different coating materials, making the system highly adaptable to various memorial forms while using the same basic production method
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
Enables the creation of customizable memorials that allow pet owners to keep a part of their deceased pet in a preferred form, providing a personalized and meaningful way to remember their pet.
Implementation Method 1
The powder is then extracted using diluted hydrochloric acid or nitric acid that has a concentration of 3% ̃20%, at a solute-solvent ratio of 1:10 ̃1:300, for 10-500 minutes so as to obtain carbon element in a form of carbon powder or carbon residue

AI summary
A method for producing a memorial from remains of a pet includes steps of: providing a substrate; selecting a part of the remains of the pet, and processing the part into a plurality of small particles; selecting a coating material that can be applied and affixed onto the substrate, and well mixing the particles with the coating material; and applying the coating material onto a surface of the substrate. The memorial carrying a part of remains of a pet can act as an object for an owner of the deceased pet to repose his/her love to the pet and relieve the owner from grieving over the deceased pet. The memorial can be customized to the owner's preferences and accompany the owner as if the pet were still living.
