The kind of lapping plate Insaco uses plays a vital role in the lapping process. It significantly affects the output of this abrasive machining technique. A plate should not be too hard as it damages ...

Lapping a CPU is a process by which you sand the top of a CPU's case until it is as close to perfectly smooth as possible. The idea is that if you can eliminate microscopic air gaps between the ...

Cats' gravity-defying grace and exquisite balance extends even to the way they lap milk, say researchers. They analyzed the way cats lap and found that felines of all sizes take advantage of a perfect ...

Perfect physics We always knew about the cat's whiskers, but US engineers have discovered it is really the cat's tongue we should be raving about. Cats have a unique lapping technique - a cat's tongue ...

BUCYRUS - Hundreds of people from across Ohio filled downtown Bucyrus every weekend from the early 1950s to the mid '90s. The 40-year tradition brought shiny cars — new and old — to the city each ...

During lapping, a spinning abrasive surface is used to thin wafers from the backside. As the process progresses, precise feedback is required to monitor the amount of material removed and determine ...

Lapping valves is a time-honored tradition in building engines that dates back likely to the earliest internal combustion engines. The time-honored process involves placing some valve lapping compound ...

It seemed like a good idea to build a semiconductor lapping machine from an old hard drive. But there’s just something a little off about [electronupdate]’s build, and we think the Hackaday community ...
