The initial software that I am developing will do basic Product Data Management (PDM): upload a CAD model file or a parts list through the user's Web browser; associate it with a project, a spacecraft, and a system assembly; display (using your Web browser) the spacecraft or system bill-of-materials structure; export the data to a STEP file (this means representing the part id's, assembly relationships, etc., in the STEP data format, with references or "pointers" to other files -- e.g.

To use services tailored for WAP phones with color graphics, please see: http://testbed.fmi.fi/Misc/Mobile_product_info.html. Nowadays mobile interfaces have varying graphical display properties. Indeed, it is possible create tailored products for the different phone models. However, in this project mobile products fulfill the general demonstration of mobile purposes only and have been restricted to WAP phones with color graphics.

Note that Terrabrowser was created before Google Earth existed and might not have been written otherwise. Bearing that in mind Terrabrowser offers... Lightweight browsing - Terrabrowser won't hog your CPU like Google Earth. Of course, there aren't any 3D effects either...

Well, we can't, for two reasons, but you might be able to. Google Earth requires both broadband Internet and a PC. We use Macs and we don't have anywhere near broadband capability. Frappr works best for us. But if you want to see where we are, you can get the zip code from our Frappr map or www.usps.com, and then use Google Earth to explore the area.

These materials have placed here for the use of researchers anywhere in the world (our visitors in the month of January, 2000 came from over 50 countries on every continent except Antarctica). Many of them are biomedical researchers in academia and industry, but others include physicists, mathematicians, computer scientists, educators, graduate and undergraduate university students, and even secondary school students.

I actually used a script that I wrote myself to digitise my route. It displays a Google map, and when I click on the map, it displays the longitude and latitude of the resulting point in a format I can copy out and paste into a text file. I then apply a few regular expressions to the file, and out pops a Google Maps XML file, as well as a Google Earth KML file. This system proved to be in tune with my needs – it pays to be a programmer sometimes!

Google Earth is a program you download and install on your computer. There are versions for Windows and Mac OS X computers available. Google Earth allows you to view satellite photos, maps, geographic terrain and 3D models of buildings from around the world. Plus, Google has partnered with several content providers to give users even more information about popular and interesting places, and AIA is now one of those providers.

Absolutely. While the mini Google Notebook allows you to save clips of information without leaving the webpage you're on, you can organize and review your notebooks most easily in the full-page view.
