Not bad as an answer.

 A slightly more technical definition  would be: An isotherme is a curve
along which the temperature T is constant. Kinetic gas theory describes it
in more details for the amateur physicist.....

Best wishes for a very peaceful Christmas to everybody on TN.

Maybe you remember older wheather forecasts pictures. They showed
isothermes, these funny shaped bananas...

Since there probably aren't too many of us left on the `Net at this hour of
the California day, I'll take a crack at it: An isotherm is another term
for thermal relief.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ALL THOSE WHO HAVE KEPT US INFORMED OVER THE `97 YEAR!!
LOOKING FORWARD TO MORE OF THE SAME IN `98!!

Can any one explain what is isotherm pattern and what are the advantages of
having it on fab?
Merry Christmas to all you and your family.
