	Artifact - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		An artifact (also artefact) refers to any object or process resulting from human activity which represents things from the past.
		Artifact as defined by the Oxford English Dictionary is "anything made by human art and workmanship; an artificial product." The word artifact comes from 'ars,' meaning art and 'factum,' meaning to make.
		Artifacts in archaeology is the word "applied to the rude products of aboriginal workmanship as distinguished from natural remains." (Oxford English Dictionary).

		A compression artifact (or artefact) is the result of an agressive data compression scheme applied to an image, audio, or video that discards some data which is determined by an algorithm to be of lesser importance to the overall content but which is nonetheless discernible and objectionable to the user.
		Artifacts in time-dependent data such as audio or video are often a result of the latent error in lossy data compression.
		Technically speaking, a compression artifact is a particular class of data error that is usually the consequence of quantization in lossy data compression.

	Artifact Fantasy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		In role-playing games and fantasy literature, an artifact is a magicalal object with some marvelous and alarming power, so great that it cannot be duplicated by any known art allowed by the premises of the fantasy world, and cannot be destroyed by ordinary means.
		Artifacts often serve as MacGuffins, the central focus of quests to locate, capture, or destroy them.
		The One Ring of The Lord of the Rings is a typical artifact: alarmingly powerful, of ancient and obscure origin, and nearly indestructible.

	Artifact
		An artifact kind identified by a common description or concept can include several subtypes or species; for example, there are different paper clip types for which their authors (that is, their inventors) obtained separate patents; these fall under the more general artifact kind ‘paper clip’.
		Many artifacts are characterized by means of their intended function and use, and some parts of complex artifacts are artifacts (we might call them “sub-artifacts”) which have been designed to serve a certain function in a given principal artifact.
		Artifacts in the wide sense form an ontologically heterogeneous collection: some of them have instances (literary works and musical compositions), others are singular objects (e.g., paintings), and there are also abstract artifacts, for example, fictional characters, which have authors but are neither concrete particulars nor have such particulars as instances.

		Artifacts are echoes that appear on the image that do not correspond in location or intensity to actual interfaces in the patient.
		Some times a mirror image artifact (see next section) can cause a similar appearance so that the depth of the deep wall of the cyst may not be the same as the distance from the transducer to the rectal air.
		The artifacts can be grouped into three types: color appearing where there is no flow; no color appearing where there is flow; and the wrong color, or shade of color to confuse the direction and velocity of flow.

		The provenience card had to be retained with the artifacts at all time and it was important that only one provenience be handled at a time to avoid an artifact with an archaeological "identity crisis".
		Artifacts were studied within their contexts and compared from one operation to another, as well as from one building to another.
		A small collection of artifacts was also excavated that suggests the seasonal use of the island by French fishermen in the 17th century.

		In microscopy, artifacts are sometimes introduced during the processing of samples into slide form.
		In econometrics, which trades on computing linear relationships between related variables, an artifact is a spurious finding, such as one based on either a faulty choice of variables or an overextension of the computed relationship.
		This prediction is a statistical artifact, since it is spurious to use the model when the percentage of citizens making over $50,000 is so high (and silly to predict an approval rating greater than 100%).

	Artifact (archaeology) - Encyclopedia.WorldSearch (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		In archaeology, an artifact or artefact is any object made by a human culture, and often one later recovered by some archaeological endeavor.
		Focusing on the artifact alone can produce very intensive and enlightening work on the object itself but can ignore surrounding factors which may shed further light on the manufacturing society.
		Artifacts are distinguished from features, which are nonportable remains of human activity, such as hearths, roads, or house remains, and from biofacts (also called ecofacts), which are objects of archaeological interest made by other organisms, such as seeds or animal bone.

		Standard methods for reducing motion artifact due to skin stretch require skin abrasion, but this method has significant drawbacks: it causes patient discomfort, it results in more work for the ECG technician, and it can be ineffective for long term recordings.
		The adaptive filter uses noise corrupted ECG and the signal that is related to the motion artifact to estimate the motion artifact.
		An impedance based artifact removal system has the potential to be less expensive than one based on electrode mounted sensors because standard ECG electrodes could be used.

	The Coso Artifact: Mystery from the Depths of Time
		Discoverer Virginia Maxey referred to the material covering the artifact as "hardened clay" and noted that it had picked up a miscellaneous collection of pebbles, including a "nail and washer." Analysis of the surface material is noted as having a hardness of Mohs 3, which is not very hard and certainly much softer than chalcedony.
		Investigating the origins of the Coso Artifact revealed that mining operations were conducted in the area of discovery early in the 20th century.
		As noted earlier, the alleged strata where the Coso Artifact was found is unknown since all three discoverers had separately searched for geodes all morning before consolidating their collections in a single sack.

		Also known as ballistocardiographic artifact, cardioballistic artifact is related to pulse artifact in that it is caused by recoil movements of the subject’s body as the blood pumps from the heart.
		When seen on airflow channels, this artifact often occurs during prolonged central apneas and it is often incorrectly considered to indicate a patent airway (I'll post the reference as soon as I find it again).
		Repositioning the subject’s head will reduce this artifact; raising the subject’s head off the bed with a roll of towels may eliminate it but this tactic may increase the probability of respiration or movement artifact.
