  • Patent number: 11602797
    Abstract: A wood cutting band saw blade includes a band having a continuous band portion and having on at least one length-wise edge a plurality of teeth. The plurality of teeth extend upward from the continuous band portion, and the length-wise edge extends in a horizontal direction. Each tooth includes a cutting edge and a back angle edge defining a tip. Each tooth also includes a gullet having a forward edge extending upward from a location at a lowest extent of the gullet to the back angle edge. The gullet further includes a rearward edge extending upward from a vertical level at the lowest extent of the gullet to a cutting edge of an adjacent tooth. The location at the lowest extent of the gullet is closer to the tip than to a tip of the adjacent tooth.

  • Patent number: 10625353
    Abstract: A wood cutting band saw blade includes a plurality of teeth extending upward from a continuous band portion. Each tooth includes a cutting edge and a back angle edge defining a tip, and a gullet. The gullet includes a forward edge extending from the back angle edge to a lowest point of the gullet, and a rearward edge extending upward from the lowest point to a cutting edge of an adjacent tooth. In some embodiments, the lowest point of the gullet is closer to the tip than to a tip of the adjacent tooth.

  • Patent number: 7843207
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus to test electronic devices are disclosed. An example method includes setting a first controlled switch to prevent a current detect signal from tripping an overcurrent protection event controlling an operation of the device; setting a second controlled switch to route a first sensed voltage associated with the device to a voltage adjuster; sending a calibration current corresponding to a target threshold current through the device; detecting the first sensed voltage while the calibration current flows through the device; and setting a reference signal substantially equal to the first sensed voltage, wherein the reference signal is to be used to generate the current detect signal.
