Abstract: In a preferred embodiment, there is provided a conductive non-stick electrode for use with a hemostatic tissue cutting scalpel wherein, a first layer of conductive material having a textured working surface for contacting tissue is adherently deposited along the cutting edge of the scalpel, and a second coating of non-stick material is deposited thereon at least partially filling the textured surface, so that portions of the conductive material are exposed and the electrode is thereby conductive along said working surface but non-sticking while in contact with tissue.

Abstract: A magnetic recording and storage device having high wear resistance is produced by providing a magnetic recording and storage device having a film of solid magnetic material which has been bonded to a surface of a rigid substrate. A thin film of a lubricating compound is then applied to the film of magnetic material.

Abstract: An electrical cooking or heating unit comprising a plate of a glassy material including a selected portion thereof upon whose upper surface vessels are to be placed for cooking purposes. The lower surface of the selected portion of the plate is provided with at least one sinuous strip of a gold/platinum alloy which integrally forms the electrical resistance heating element for the heating or cooking unit. A porous and partially sintered overglaze or coating covers the heating element and the portion of the lower surface of the plate on which the heating element is provided, such glaze preventing or inhibiting cracking, peeling or agglomeration of the heating element to provide a resultant increase in electrical resistivity. The life of the heating or cooking unit is thereby substantially increased.
