Abstract: A saw blade with cutting wings on the teeth. The blade has a blade body, teeth located on an outer edge of the blade body, and cutting wings extending from either side of each tooth on the blade body. Each tooth is angled in a direction opposite that of the adjacent teeth to eliminate block cutting characteristics and to enhance the serrating effect of the teeth. A first wing is longer than a second wing and contains a barb that enhances the serrating effect of the wing. Both wings are beveled so that the sharpest edge of the wings is located on the outer edge of the wings. The cutting wings pre-cut a width of the material and reduce the splintering and shredding effects of the blade on the material.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for causing a video camera to produce a video signal to selectively cue special effects, comprising an optical chromakey field including a transparent assembly an illumination apparatus. The transparent assembly is placed in the field of view of the video camera. The on-camera talent can see through the transparent assembly to view a monitor or other object located behind the transparent assembly. The illumination apparatus selectively illuminates the transparent assembly. The transparent assembly presents light of a certain color for reception by the video camera. When special effects are selected, the video camera produces a characteristic video signal operative to cue the special effects.

Abstract: A football is disclosed having an oblate spheroid body with a passageway defined along its longitudinal axis. A pair of wind fins are mounted internally of the body so as to protrude into the passageway. In addition, a second embodiment is disclosed having troughs defined in the exterior of the ball. When the football is thrown, the fins and the troughs act to enhance rotation of the ball.
