  • Publication number: 20220354278
    Abstract: A framed collectible for displaying a continuously-looping playback of a digital video file is provided, wherein a display panel is controlled by a display controller to play at least one video file in a continuous loop on the display panel only while an output signal from a magnet sensor indicates no proximity to a magnet proximal to the back side of the display panel. The display controller has a printed circuit board that incorporates at least one processor and at least one memory that contains at least one video file. The memory, which in an embodiment can be flash memory, is factory programmed and therefore the memory content cannot be changed by an end user. Packaging for storage and shipping of the framed collectible is also provided, which incorporates a magnet that is sensed by the magnet sensor to keep continuously-looping video playback switched off while the device is stored.

  • Publication number: 20050268898
    Abstract: This invention relates to tiers of kerf engaging elements at saw blade sides. The tiers recede from the blade's most forward peripheral cutting elements and project laterally to engage the kerf in incremental steps as the blade advances into the material addressed. Each tier is designed to perform a distinctive action. Individual tiers may be designed to plane, or shave, or scratch, or scrape, or sand, or burnish. The mentioned preferred embodiment of this invention submits the kerf to coarse sanding, fine sanding, and burnishing with one pass of the blade.
