Abstract: A heat reducing slot that is part of a saw blade that includes tips that will house carbide or other tips that are to be attached through a torch or induction. Heat reducing slots repeat for each tip on the perimeter of a blade that will be treated with high heat. For each tip, there is a general area defined near the seat and groove of the tip. In this general area a slot is inserted that has the effect of reducing the amount of heat needed to be applied to the blade for the attachment of carbide or other tips.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method of modifying a plant phenotype by transforming a plant to alter the level of expression of non-symbiotic plant hemoglobin in the plant, whereby the transformed plant exhibits, under normal oxygen conditions, a plant phenotype that is modified as compared to a non-transformed plant. Plants exhibiting modified phenotypes under normal oxygen conditions also are provided. Methods of modifying the response to a plant hormone in a plant also are provided.

Abstract: In a cutting disc which has a plurality of radial slots connecting with the peripheral edge of the disc wherein each radial slot curves to one side wherein the slot has a concave shape relative to the peripheral edge of the disc.

Abstract: A cutting disc core for a circular shaped saw blade which has a circular shaped body which has a center hole and a circular peripheral edge upon which is to be mounted a plurality of spaced apart cutting segments that is to perform the cutting of the saw blade. Surrounding the center hole and formed within the body of the blade is a cut out of a five-sided shape that can be described as a square with rounded corners and with one corner sliced at an angle to leave a fifth side with sharply defined edges. On one or more sides of the five-sided shaped cut out is found one or more pair of radially extending members that together form a break in the continuous shape of the five sided “square” with there being a solid tab that is integrally connected to the body located between each pair of radially extending members. The tab constitutes a frangible seal with the five-sided shape which is formed about the center hole to be removable by being forcibly physically separated from the body.

Abstract: A cutting disc core for a circular shaped saw blade which has a circular shaped body which has a center hole and a circular peripheral edge upon which is to be mounted a plurality of spaced apart cutting segments that is to perform the cutting of the saw blade. Surrounding the center hole and formed within the body is a first plurality of slits with there being a solid tab that is integrally connected to the body located between each directly adjacent pair of slits defining a second diameter larger than the center hole. Also included is a second plurality of slits with there being a solid tab that is integrally connected to the body located between each directly adjacent pair of slits defining a third diameter larger than both the center hole and the second diameter defined by the first plurality of slits.
