Micro grinding is a promising process to produce small scale structures in hard and brittle materials. Just like macro grinding processes, a high number of abrasive grits embedded on the grinding tools, are applied. This high number of grits results in low cutting forces on individuall grits and very small chip thicknesses, thus generating surfaces with a high quality. The manufacturing of the tools needed to produce such small structures is very challenging. In this paper, a method for the coating of micro pencil grinding tools (MPGTs) is proposed. MPGTs utilize coated superabrasive grits for micro machining hard and hardened materials. The MPGTs developed in the research presented here consist of a base body made of cemented carbide, abrasive grits made of cBN and a nickel bond. The experimental setup and the coating parameters needed to produce a 50-55 μm MPGT with 5-10 μm cBN grits nominal diameter is outlined. In addition, the tools are validated by machining a 500 μm long groove on a hardened 16MnCr5 workpiece.

AbstractPlanetary nebulae (PNe) can be roughly categorized into several broad morphological classes. The high quality images of PNe acquired in recent years, however, have revealed a wealth of fine structures that preclude simplistic models for their formation. Here we present narrow-band, sub-arcsecond images of a sample of relatively large PNe that illustrate the complexity and variety of small-scale structures. This is especially true for bipolar PNe, for which the images reveal multi-polar ejections and, in some cases, suggest turbulent gas motions. Our images also reveal the presence or signs of jet-like outflows in several objects in which this kind of component has not been previously reported.

AbstractWe applied advanced image enhancement techniques to explore in detail the characteristics of the small-scale structures and/or the low contrast structures in several Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) observed by SOHO. We highlight here the results from our studies of the morphology and dynamical evolution of CME structures in the solar corona using two instruments on board SOHO: LASCO and EIT.

AbstractSeismology has become a powerful tool in studies of the magnetic structure of solar prominences and filaments. Reversely, analytical and numerical models are guided by available information about the spatial and thermodynamical structure of these enigmatic structures. The present invited paper reviews recent observational results on oscillations and waves as well as details about small-scale structures and dynamics of prominences and filaments.

The formation of cusps on long cosmic strings is discussed and the probability of cusp formation is estimated. The energy distribution of the gamma-ray background due to cusp annihilation on long strings is calculated and compared to observations. Under optimistic assumptions about the cusp formation rate, we find that strings with a mass per unit length μ less than Gμ=10−14 will have an observable effect. However, it is shown that the gamma-ray bursters cannot be attributed to long ordinary strings (or loops).
