Sim-PROCESD is a discrete event simulation package written in Python that is designed to model the behavior of discrete manufacturing systems. Specifically, it focuses on asynchronous production lines. It also provides functionality for modeling the degradation and maintenance of machines in these systems. Sim-PROCESD provides class definitions for manufacturing devices/components that can be configured by the user to model various real-world manufacturing systems.

This dataset contains data used in the investigation of Universally Unique Identifiers (UUIDs) that will enable a standards-based digital thread of product data in ISO 10303-242. Included are EXPRESS schema used for implementation and .stp files that were exported from native CAD (CATIA V5, Creo, and NX). UUIDs were assigned to CAD features during .stp export for each of the four design iterations.

A heterogeneous dataset of human measurement data and human-generated text. This dataset was generated by TechSolve Inc. (techsolve.org) as a collaborative effort with NIST. Respondents were asked to observe and evaluate a machining process in which a rotary bit (the "tool") removed layers of a workpiece until the tool was worn to exhaustion. One trial and 19 official experiments were completed, one for each of 20 tools.

An experiment was set up within a machine tool at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to test vision-based thermal drift tracking methods. A wireless microscope within a tool holder in the spindle is used to capture videos of image targets attached to the worktable. For each target, one video is captured during spindle rotation orthogonal to the worktable and another video is captured during axis translation orthogonal to the worktable.

This tool uses techniques from ASTM E3200 for evaluating manufacturing investments from the perspective of environmentally sustainable manufacturing by pairing economic methods of investment analysis with environmental aspect of manufacturing. The economic techniques used include net present value, internal rate of return, payback period, and hurdle rate. These four techniques are deterministic, meaning that they deal with known values that are certain. The tool also conducts a sensitivity analysis using Monte Carlo techniques.

A linear axis testbed at the Center for Intelligent Maintenance Systems (IMS Center) at the University of Cincinnati was run to failure (the detection of backlash) over one year with periodic data collected from an inertial measurement unit (IMU) on the carriage, two triaxial accelerometers on the ball nut, and the controller.

Simantha is a discrete event simulation package written in Python that is designed to model the behavior of discrete manufacturing systems. Specifically, it focuses on asynchronous production lines with finite buffers. It also provides functionality for modeling the degradation and maintenance of machines in these systems. Classes for five basic manufacturing objects are included: source, machine, buffer, sink, and maintainer. These objects can be defined by the user and configured in different ways to model various real-world manufacturing systems.

To provide estimates of employment, unemployment, and other characteristics of the general labor force, of the population as a whole, and of various subgroups of the population. Monthly labor force data for the country are used by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) to determine the distribution of funds under the Job Training Partnership Act. These data are collected through combined computer-assisted personal interviewing (CAPI) and computer-assisted telephone interviewing (CATI).

The National Institute of Standards and Technology, Intelligent Systems Division has collected data measuring human subjects, while performing common, simulated industrial manufacturing tasks with and without wearing an exoskeleton. Five tests were completed as part of a research study to develop measurement science towards standard test methods. For simulated industrial manufacturing tasks were performed using a novel, now standardized apparatus, called the Position and Load Test Apparatus for Exoskeletons (PoLoTAE).

Home to NTIA data and analysis on computer and Internet use in the United States. Since November 1994, NTIA has periodically sponsored data collections on Internet use and the devices Americans use to go online as a supplement to the Census Bureau’s annual Current Population Survey (CPS); analyzed the data; and reported the findings. In recent years, NTIA has also linked to the raw datasets on the Census Bureau website.
