  • Patent number: 11886786
    Abstract: The invention relates to the technical field of computer-aided design of integrated circuits, and provides a two-step X-architecture Steiner minimum tree construction method for very large scale integration (VLSI). Based on the advantages of an X-architecture model and a particle swarm optimization technique, the method is implemented through two steps: (1) the stage of social learning discrete particle swarm search, which comprises: using an edge-vertex encoding strategy capable of maintaining optimal topological information of particles, designing a fitness function taking wirelength into consideration; and using a chaotic decreasing mutation strategy and a new social learning strategy to design a new discrete particle swarm update formula; and (2) a stage of wirelength optimization, which comprises: designing a local topological optimization strategy to minimize the wirelength of an X-architecture Steiner tree.

  • Publication number: 20220398373
    Abstract: A multi-stage FPGA routing method for optimizing time division multiplexing comprises the following steps: S1: collecting an FPGA set, an FPGA connection pair set, a net set and a net group set; S2: acquiring a routing topology of each net according to the FPGA set, the FPGA connection pair set, the net set and the net group set under the condition where TRs are not assigned; S3: assigning a corresponding TR to each edge of each net according to different delay of each net group; and S4: performing TR reduction and edge validation cyclically, iteratively optimizing net groups with TR being greater than a preset value until iteration end conditions are met, so as to obtain an optimal routing result. The multi-stage FPGA routing method may optimize the delay of inter-chip signals of a multi-FPGA prototype system and guarantee the routability of the multi-FPGA prototype system.

  • Publication number: 20180310765
    Abstract: The present invention is embodied in a grill configured for quick assembly, a method of partially pre-assembling the grill for shipping from the factory in a container, and a method of assembling the grill when removed from the shipping container. The grill comprises a firebox assembly for mounting on a cart assembly, the cart assembly having first and second support assemblies and at least one linking member interconnecting them. A hinge or pivot in the mid-portion of the linking member divides it into first and second linking member portions, and the opposite ends of the linking member portions are pivotally connected by hinges or the like to the first and second support assemblies. The linking member holds the first and second support assemblies together in a partially pre-assembled state, and the pivotal connections of the linking member portions allow the two assemblies to be folded for packaging in a shipping container.

  • Patent number: 9211036
    Abstract: A grill comprising a firebox assembly for mounting on a cart assembly, the cart assembly having first and second support assemblies interconnected by at least one linking member. A hinge or pivot in the mid-portion of the linking member divides it into first and second linking member portions, and the opposite ends of the linking member portions are pivotally connected by hinges to the first and second support assemblies. The linking member holds the support assemblies together in a partially pre-assembled state, and the pivotal connections of the linking member portions allow the two assemblies to be folded for packaging in a shipping container. When removed from the container, the pivotal connections of the linking member portions allow the support assemblies to be unfolded horizontally to convert the cart assembly to an assembled configuration in which the support assemblies are unfolded to a position suitable for supporting the firebox assembly.

  • Patent number: 8878107
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a multi-level and vertical assembling type PTFE heater and the methods of manufacture thereof. Said heater includes a vertical frame assembled by multi-poles and upper and lower retaining plates. Several levels of PTFE sleeves and electrical heating belts are alternatively disposed on the multi-poles. The number of the poles is determined in accordance with the size and capacity of a heater desired and the power and levels of PTFE electrical heating belts with heating needs. Multiple levels of PTFE electrical heating belts are formed in an assembling way, by which heaters with varied powers are easily produced and with the elements replaceable, will not be wholly wasted in event of an element damaged, thus the heater service life prolonged. Said heater has a better heating result than the one with only a single level of heating structure.
