  2. Nail buffing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nail_buffing

    The medium grit can be used to smooth ridges and surface irregularities. This can be done before applying nail polish or as a first step before finer buffing. The fine-grained buff is used to smooth the nail to a matte surface. The finest finishing grit gives the nails a glossy shine. Traditionally, a buffing cream and chamois skin have been used.

    A pointing trowel is used for applying grout in flagstone and other stone works. A multi-tool (power tools) is another option for removing tile grout between tiles when fitted with a specified diamond blade. A grout clean-up bucket is a professional clean-up kit for faster grout washup. It consists of a specialised bucket on rollers with a sponge.

  4. Flap (surgery) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flap_(surgery)

    Flap surgery is a technique in plastic and reconstructive surgery where tissue with an intact blood supply is lifted from a donor site and moved to a recipient site. Flaps are distinct from grafts, which do not have an intact blood supply and relies on the growth of new blood vessels. Flaps are done to fill a defect such as a wound resulting ...

  5. Polishing (metalworking) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polishing_(metalworking)

    When buffing there are two types of buffing motions: the cut motion and the color motion. The cut motion is designed to give a uniform, smooth, semi-bright surface finish. This is achieved by moving the workpiece against the rotation of the buffing wheel, while using medium to hard pressure. The color motion gives a clean, bright, shiny surface ...

  6. Microfracture surgery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microfracture_surgery

    The surgery is performed by arthroscopy, after the joint is cleaned of calcified cartilage. Through use of an awl , the surgeon creates tiny fractures in the subchondral bone plate. [ 10 ] Blood and bone marrow (which contains stem cells ) seep out of the fractures, creating a blood clot that releases cartilage-building cells .

  9. Chemical-mechanical polishing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical-mechanical_polishing

    A second layer is added to the wafer to create a planar surface. After that, the silicon is thermally oxidized, so the oxide grows in regions where there is no Si 3 N 4 and the growth is between 0.5 and 1.0 μm thick. Since the oxidizing species such as water or oxygen are unable to diffuse through the mask, the nitride prevents the oxidation.
