Computer-aided textile design

[edit]

image icon The computer operated loom in operation at Hemisfair 68[1]

In 1959 IBM began working with General Motors on an early industrial computer-aided design (CAD) system, the DAC-1. The system used a light pen to draw on the screen of a visual display unit. The project was kept secret until the 1964 Fall Joint Computer Conference.[10] At the same time IBM was working on commercial graphics products. Lourie worked on the programming for the prototype graphics terminal.[11]:61 The 2250 Graphical Display Unit was released in 1964 with the new System/360 computer.[12]

Part of Lorie's work at IBM's New York Scientific Center was researching computer applications. She was also an experienced hand weaver. (L 37 or Rutgers exhibit) In 1964 she toured a textile factory to learn about the Jacquard weaving process. Watching the punched cards control the loom she decided to propose a project for a computer driven loom.(L, 15-17, 59)


how the current system works - how the design is transferred to punch cards 

 describe "point paper" which is used to cut the cards
 
 large graphs since each thread in the weave needs to be controlled
 then row by row the graphs are converted to a set of punched cards

the economics 

 at that time very time consuming to produce point papers from designs
  many designs have to be sampled on the loom before manufacturing decisions made
  some companies spent 10% of their gross sales on design and cutting cards

previous solutions 

  two previous failed attempts to provide a way to produce the cards directly by scanning a design
  using special purpose hardware


After IBM announced the Textile Graphics system, many textile companies came to see demonstrations .

First system for textile printing.[2]

MathWikibase

[edit]
There has been some work done on making mathematical formulae self-explaining using information stored in Wikidata. For example, if you click on the formula you will be connected to a query of Special:MathWikibase which gives an explanation in English. How this is done is partially explained in this paper. In October several of the equations in the article Matter wave were expanded to do this.

Units

[edit]

Square miles to square kilometers

  • 1.000000000000000 square mile (2.5899881103360 km2) (exact)
  • 1.000000000000000 square mile (2.5899881103360 km2) (exact)
  • 10 miles 28 chains (16.66 km; 10.35 mi; 82.80 furlongs; 9,108.00 fathoms; 163,944.0 hands; 8.99 nmi)

Conversion factors and physical constants

The values for most of the conversion factors used by Template:Convert come from international and national standards documents:

The NIST document gives conversion factors correct to 7 places. Factors in bold are exact. If exact factors have more than 7 places, they are rounded and no longer exact. This convert module replaces these rounded figures with the exact figures. For example, the NIST document has 1 square mile = 2.589 988 E+06 square meters. The convert template has 1 square mile = 2,589,988.110336 square meters.

Values for the fundamental physical constants come from the NIST Reference on Constants, Units, and Uncertainty, either the 2010 or the 2014 version. The 2018 version is in preparation. While the articles on the units should be updated as the new versions come out every four years, the few more significant figures provided are probably not necessary for the way this template is used.

explanations

Look at Template:Editnotices - enforcing Harvard refs for particular articles - enforces in the sense of providing a "page" message that appears when editing a page. See Wikipedia:Editnotice.

See Template:Article style. It has a section to specify the type of referencing used. Chicago style appears to be the one for author, date citations, though Chicago also uses author-title. So better to use the parenthetical notice

My quick reconstruction of reference history on Wikipedia, based on what I can find from template and documentation histories. Many templates have been deleted, so what I put together will miss things.

Early references

  • Embedded links seemed to be the way to reference online material
  • Reference lists at the ends
  • When did requirement for inline citations come in and how were they done

Older reference templates - before automatic numbering

  • Template:Ref using ref and note templates, had to manually order the references and assign numbers or letters, see Wikipedia:Footnote3, pieces of this are still in use, see Note in Euclidean algorithm
  • There was a Template:Ref harvard, now deleted
  • Template:Cite used ref, generated a formatted reference with a label for hyperlink

a simple template now redirected to Template:Citation - ?for use with Harvard refs, which didn't need to be numbered

Templates using the Mediawiki extension

  • mw:Extension:Cite newer, Mediawiki added ref tags and references/ list, auto-numbered the references

The extension led to two kinds of citation templates

  • Template:Citation is template with many fields, including link for Harvard refs, seen as an improvement over Cite book, but which version of Cite book, a citation style 2 template, see Help:Citation Style 2. Citation 2 style templates always create an anchor of the form CITEREFauthorslastnameyear. Use ref= to name the anchor whatever you want, particularly if you don't have a last name or a year.

Ssee Wikipedia:Citation templates and reference anchors. Style 2 templates always create an anchor (wikilink within the page). Style 1 will create an anchor if asked by using ref=harv (creates the Style 2 ref) or ref=whatever you want.

  • what was the step from cite to cite book?
  • "cite book" replaced "book reference" (still in "use" in 13 articles, see Charm bracelet, redirects to cite book). See history for book reference
  • See Help:Citation Style 1 to which the cite book, cite web, etc belong

Linking from the reference in the text (or for short references, in the footnotes list) to the full reference in the references list.

Issue with Privity in English law -- uses handwritten wikilinks

The article uses shortened footnotes linked by HTML anchors to references in the reference list. Initially, it had no links but the reference list used cite book and cite journal from the beginning. When linking was added, most of the plain short citations went from <ref>McKendrick (2007) p.137</ref> to <ref>[[#McKendrick2007|McKendrick (2007)]] p.137</ref> to generate a hyperlink. The # at the start indicates it is a link to an anchor on the same page. The full reference added |ref=McKendrick2007 to label the target of the link.

Could have used {{wikicite|ref=id|reference=citation}} for the citation list.

Or ?<span id=McKendrick2007>this is a reference</span>

Two pages of citation examples show the older methods

Look at oldest documentation of Template:Wikicite at Template:Wikicite/doc. Wikicite creates an anchored reference for a bibliography given an id and a reference.

Don't forget explanatory notes. See Help:Explanatory notes. Some of this may be included in other example articles.

Before you ask for a review, go through this checklist. It will help you to see what we are looking for when we review an article. For your article to be accepted you need to make sure you meet all these requirements.
  1. Is this a "notable" subject? That is, is the person, company, group, concept, thing already noticed (well known) outside of Wikipedia?
  2. Have you provided published references (sources) in the article that show this? They need to be from reliable places like newspapers, magazines, journals, and books. They have to be independent of the subject of the article (not from the subject's web page or press releases for example). They do not need to be online.

If these first two points aren't met, the article will be "Declined" immediately and we won't be looking at the rest of the article. If you have problems finding sources ask at the Teahouse for help.

  2. Is the article in the form of an encyclopedia article? Just the facts please, in a logical order. It should not read like a resume, press release, artist statement, sales brochure, essay, opinion piece, or Facebook page. Leave out any adjectives about how wonderful the subject is.
  3. Does everything have a footnote? We require that every description, claim, piece of information have a footnote to show where the information comes from. You can use sources associated with the subject for some of these. They don't need to be online but you need to provide enough information that others can find the source.
If you have questions about how to write articles or do footnotes, ask at the Teahouse.

After her first solo exhibition, Whiteread decided to cast the space that her domestic objects could have inhabited. She applied for grants, describing the project as "mummifying the air in a room."[6] She completed Ghost in 1990. It was cast from a room in a house on Archway Road in north London, much like the house she grew up in.[7] The road was being widened and the house torn down. She used plaster to cast the parlor walls and ceiling in sections and assembled them on a metal frame.[8]

Ghost was first shown at the nonprofit Chisenhale Gallery.[9] It was purchased by Charles Saatchi and included with other works by Whiteread in his first "Young British Art" show in 1992.[10] In May 2004 a fire in a Momart storage warehouse destroyed many works from the Saatchi collection, including, it is believed, some by Whiteread. However Ghost had recently been moved from the warehouse to the new Gagosian Gallery in London.[11] The work was acquired by the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. in the fall of 2004.[12]

In October 1993 Whiteread completed House, the cast of a Victorian terrace house. She had began considering casting an entire house in 1991. She and James Lingwood of Artangel looked at houses to be torn down in North and East London in 1992, but without success in securing one.[13] During this period in 1992 and 1993 Whiteread had an artist residency in Berlin with a scholarship from the DAAD Artist's Programme.[14] While in Berlin, she created Untitled (Room), the cast of a generic, anonymous room that she built herself. She finished the interior of a room-size box with wallpaper, windows and door before casting.[3] The sculpture is in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York.[15]

The Deadline: A Novel About Software Management by Tom DeMarco is a roman à clef set in the world of software project management. It was inspired by physicist George Gamow's classic stories of Mr Tompkins. DeMarco made his Mr. Tompkins a project manager rather than a middle-aged bank clerk, and populated his adventures with thinly-disguised members of the software engineering community.

Bell relay computer

[edit]

The Bell relay computers are a series of

The Bell relay computers were a series of electromechanical computers built by AT&T Bell Laboratories between 1937 and 1946. They were designed by George Stibitz using standard telephone relays. The first was used to do calculations with complex numbers that arose in designing equipment for long-distance telephone lines. Later machines were developed during World War II to do ballistic calculations for the military. During the development of these machines, Stibitz created binary-coded decimal representations for numbers in computers. Richard Hamming began work on his error-correction codes, which are used to detect and correct errors in computer memory.
