Portrait Of The Computer Artist: Between Worlds, Mia Johnson

Journal of Social Theory in Art Education

As a result of ignorance and misconceptions about the nature of computer artwork, the computer artist is misunderstood by practitioners in fine art, art education, science, and industry.

It also describes communication barriers in education and the media.

G96-1287 Design Of A Spring-Loaded Gate Latch For Swine Breeding Facilities, Donald G. Levis, Charlie Gilmore, Gerald R. Bodman

A gate latch should be designed so the latch can be released (or fastened) and the gate opened (or closed) with a continuous motion using only one hand. The illustrated gate latch design has worked well in a swine breeding facility. The latch design allows a gate in the partition between two breeding pens to swing into either breeding pen.
