Abstract: In one embodiment of the invention, a processor-implemented method is provided for routing of a partially routed circuit design. Modified signals of the partially routed circuit design are determined. A first set of routing constraints are applied by the processor to the unmodified signals of the circuit design. For each logic block of the circuit design, the number of the modified signals and the number of the unmodified signals connected to the logic block are determined. In response to one of the logic blocks having a ratio of the number of modified signals to the number of unmodified signals greater than a threshold ratio, the routing constraints are removed by the processor from one or more of the unmodified signals of the one of the logic blocks. The partially routed circuit design is then routed by the processor according to the remaining routing constraints, and the resulting netlist is stored.

Abstract: A vision system for a robotic station which includes a camera for locating an object to be placed. The camera is mounted to a robotic manipulator which includes a gripper for holding the object. A mirror assembly deflects the images of the object such that it is captured by the camera. The mirror assembly comprises two face-to-face mirrors being angled at 45 degrees.
