A process and resulting product is provided in which a vulcanized solid particulate, such as vulcanized crumb rubber, has select chemical bonds broken by microwave radiation. The direct application of microwaves in combination with uniform heating of the crumb rubber renders the treated crumb rubber more suitable for use in new rubber formulations. As a result, larger particle sizes and/or loading levels of the treated crumb rubber can be used in new rubber mixtures to produce recycled composite products with good properties.

A method for recovering metals from metals-containing wastes, and vitrifying the remainder of the wastes for disposal. Metals-containing wastes such as circuit boards, cathode ray tubes, vacuum tubes, transistors and so forth, are broken up and placed in a suitable container. The container is heated by microwaves to a first temperature in the range of approximately 300. degree. -800. degree. C. to combust organic materials in the waste, then heated further to a second temperature in the range of approximately 1,000. degree. -1,550. degree. C. at which temperature glass formers present in the waste will cause it to melt and vitrify. Low-melting-point metals such as tin and aluminum can be recovered after organics combustion is substantially complete. Metals with higher melting points, such as gold, silver and copper, can be recovered from the solidified product or separated from the waste at their respective melting points. Network former-containing materials can be added at the start of the process to assist vitrification.

An electrosurgical instrument for cutting, spot coagulation and point coagulation comprising a nonconductive handle which holds a blade assembly comprising a plurality of electrodes and an insulation member separating the electrodes. The blade assembly comprises an active center electrode of specified thickness with a recessed tip and is mounted to an extruded insulation member so that it extends outwardly from the insulation member to form a cutting edge. Split side return electrodes are symmetrically mounted to the insulation member and separated from the center electrode by the insulation member. The electrode area ratio of the return electrode area to the active electrode area falls between 0. 70 and 2. 0 allowing consistent bipolar operation. The electrodes are connected inside the nonconductive handle to a circuit whose output consists of a high frequency electrical current which forms a circuit through tissue intervening between and in contact with the electrodes when the instrument is used.

A method of ceramic coating a substrate by thermodeposition from a sol made by hydrolyzing and peptizing organometallic compounds in water. The sol contains colloidal particles having a size between about 0. 0005 micron and about 10 microns and the deposited coatings have good packing characteristics as well as smoothness. Composite coatings are also deposited which contain reinforcing materials such as SiC embedded in the coated matrix. These coatings afford the substrate onto which they are coated excellent wear, anti-corrosion and insulating characteristics.

The invention provides methods and compositions for the production of transgenic plants, plant cells, embryos, and seeds that produce plants with floral organs that have increased mass and/or size as compared to wild-type plants. The transgenic plants can be transformed with a genetic construct comprising an ipt gene under the control of an APETAL3 promoter.
