B-roll video footage from the KXAS-TV/NBC station in Fort Worth, Texas, to accompany a news story.

Video footage from The Black Academy of Arts and Letters recorded during a gallery walkthrough during the summer exhibition of the James E. Kemp Gallery "Spirit of the Cloth: African American Fiber Artisans". The footage shows an unnarrated walkthrough of the gallery with pauses on piece descriptions. The work features 60 works of traditional and contemporary textile pieces ranging from quilts to dolls to wearables all bright and vibrant in color and design.

The design of a fiber optic communication network for monitoring and control in power systems is discussed. It is shown that by appropriate choice of protocols, a fault-tolerant system can be built that operates in any arbitrary configuration. Since the network is based on fiber optics, it can be made fast enough for substation monitoring and control. In this application, a relatively small number of cables is required to implement a high reliability system. The network can also be used for distribution automation. In this application the network is required to reach all parts of the power system, and the fiber cable itself becomes a significant fraction of the cost of communications. However, since many applications can be supported at once, the cost per function can be reasonable.
