Filed:

Jul 24, 2002

Appl. No.:

10/205338

Inventors:

Steven J. Perry - San Jose CA, US

Assignee:

Xilinx, Inc. - San Jose CA

International Classification:

G06F017/50

US Classification:

716 2

Abstract:

A method () of generating a simplified netlist using bus information includes the steps of identifying () nets that form buses in a netlist and identifying () instances of a same type that connect to the identified nets via pins of the same name to form at least one set of instances. The method further includes the step of replacing () at least one set of instances with at least a single arrayed instance if each net in a bus is connected to exactly one of the same type of instance via a pin of the same name and the step of deleting the nets forming the arrayed instance from the netlist and replacing () the nets with a corresponding bus.

International Classification:

US Classification:

165202, 165 42, 165103, 454160

Abstract:

An air flow mixing system for a vehicle air conditioning system having a distribution door to force air from a first air flow to mix with a second air flow of different temperature proximate a merging region in the air conditioning system. In one embodiment, the distribution door has an arcuate passageway or scoop to forcibly route air from the first airflow to the second airflow. In a second embodiment, the distribution door has at least one projecting channel to divide each of the first and second air flows into a plurality of alternating flow paths to promote heat transfer and mixing of the two airflows. In each embodiment, the pivoting distribution door facilitates heat transfer between the airflows resulting in a more even temperate airflow emerging from the merging region.
