This paper deals with the complex issue of interoperability methods and technologies especially in PLM field. Windchill is one of the most popular PLM software proposing robust solutions to support communication with external information systems. The purpose of this paper is to prospect the interoperability mechanisms offered by PTC editor as a solution to interoperability issue. A new interope...

abstract the averages of monthly minimum temperature and wind speed in 32 synoptic stations in northwest and west of iran used for calculate windchill temperature from november to april. then maps of spatial differences were drawn for every month and windchill regions classified by cluster analysis. keywords: iran, windchill, regionalization, classification.

Exposure to low ambient air temperatures not only is uncomfortable but creates stress on the cardiovascular and respiratory system. People exposed during a short time to moderate cold show increases in heart rate, blood pressure, and blood viscosity.'-5 Inhalation of cold air causes bronchoconstriction, especially among those with chronic obstructive lung disease.6'7 There is some evidence that...

The aim of this paper is to propose new interoperability solution, based on Info-Engine framework and web services technology to support data exchange and extraction from PLM system, specially the Windchill tool. This solution will be implemented as a connector module of more generic framework, named Digital Factory Assistant (DFA). The DFA framework aims to provide factory workers by a set of ...

Low air temperatures and high wind speeds are associated with an increased risk of freezing of the exposed skin. P. A. Siple and C. F. Passel (Proc. Am. Phil. Soc. 89: 177-199, 1945) derived their windchill index from cooling experiments on a water-filled cylinder to quantify the risk of frostbite. Their results are reexamined here. It is found that their windchill index does not correctly desc...
