  • Patent number: 9883722
    Abstract: A wristwatch, comprising: a watch case (2); a clasp (3), said clasp comprising a frame (4) that can clip over the top of the watch case (2) in a closed position, and that can be unfastened from the watch case (2) in an open position; a bracelet (12), said bracelet comprising a single strand, said strand having a first end (120) and a second end (121); said first end being connected to said watch case (2) and said second end being connected to the clasp (3); a locking member (5) connected to the watch case, the locking member being able to be pivoted between a position that allows it to be inserted into the opening (40) of the frame (4) when the clasp (3) is being closed or opened, and a locking position that allows the opening or closure of the clasp (3) to be blocked.

  • Patent number: 8366314
    Abstract: Manual device for adjusting and/or controlling a function of a timepiece comprising a case 2 housing a horological movement, said manual device comprising a rod 3 and a retractable crown 4 mounted in said case, and such that the crown comprises a cylindrical body 16 having a blind cylindrical hollow 5 surrounding a tubular passage 6 designed to surround said rod 3 and connect it kinematically in rotation to the crown 4, at least one elastically deformable means 8 pushing the crown outwards relative to the case 2, the device comprising a base 10 in the shape of a cylindrical cover designed to be fixed into the watch case and traversed by said rod 3, and an indexing structure 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 attached to said base and making it possible to index an indexing ring 15 coupled translationally, but free in rotation, to the end of said tubular passage 6 of the crown, and making it possible, via successive applications of pressure to the crown, to move from a retracted or rest position to a working position.

  • Patent number: 7337101
    Abstract: A method for designing a system on a programmable logic device (PLD) includes translating a timing requirement of the system into a geographical constraint. Resources on the PLD are fitted onto locations on the PLD in response to the geographical constraint.

  • Patent number: 7216330
    Abstract: A method for designing a system on a PLD is disclosed according to a first embodiment of the present invention. A logic design is optimized. Logic circuits from the logic design are mapped to resources on the PLD. At least some of the resources are fitted onto locations on the PLD by utilizing a user-specified procedure.

  • Patent number: 7206967
    Abstract: While debugging, a user chooses an incremental recompile. Internal signals of interest and output pins are selected, and a number of additional registers are chosen to insert in the path of each internal signal. A clock is selected for the registers. An incremental recompile of the compiled design compiles a routing from each internal signal to an output pin via the added registers. The database building and logic synthesis stages are skipped. The post-fitting logical netlist and routing netlist are retrieved. The new registers are created and the internal signal is connected to the output pin atom in the logical netlist. The fitter places and routes the connections to create a new routing netlist and then the new routing netlist is output into a programming output file (POF) in a form suitable for programming the PLD. The original routing netlist is undisturbed. The user views the internal signals at the output pins chosen. The user may iterate through this process many times in order to debug the PLD.
