Design of a smart turning tool with application to in-process cutting force measurement in ultraprecision and micro cutting
In modern micromachining, there is a need to measure and monitor certain machining process parameters in process so as to detect tool wear in real time, to optimize the process parameters setup, and to render the machining process some level of smartness and intelligence. This paper presents the innovative design of a smart turning tool using two pieces of piezoelectric films to measure cutting and feed force in real time. The tool was tested on its performance through the calibration and cutting trials against the commercial dynamometer. The results show the smart turning tool has achieved the performance as designed

Possibly New Charmed Baryon States from Decay
We examine the invariant mass spectrum of in decay measured by BABAR and find that through the 2-step processes of
, where denotes a
charmed baryon state, some of the peaks can be identified with the established
, and . Moreover, in
order to account for the measured spectrum, it is necessary to introduce a new
charmed baryon resonance with MeV.Comment: 8 pages, 1 figure, title changed and discussions updated, version

Laboratory requirements for in-situ and remote sensing of suspended material
Recommendations for laboratory and in-situ measurements required for remote sensing of suspended material are presented. This study investigates the properties of the suspended materials, factors influencing the upwelling radiance, and the various types of remote sensing techniques. Calibration and correlation procedures are given to obtain the accuracy necessary to quantify the suspended materials by remote sensing. In addition, the report presents a survey of the national need for sediment data, the agencies that deal with and require the data of suspended sediment, and a summary of some recent findings of sediment measurements
Long-term X-ray emission from Swift J1644+57
The X-ray emission from Swift J1644+57 is not steadily decreasing instead it
shows multiple pulses with declining amplitudes. We model the pulses as reverse
shocks from collisions between the late ejected shells and the externally
shocked material, which is decelerated while sweeping the ambient medium. The
peak of each pulse is taken as the maximum emission of each reverse shock. With
a proper set of parameters, the envelope of peaks in the light curve as well as
the spectrum can be modelled nicely.Comment: 6 pages, 2 figures, accepted for publication in MNRA
