摘要:
A method determines a plurality of clock delay values. Each delay value is associated with a delay element on a clock line leading to a clock sink in a synchronous circuit. The method determines an initial set of delay values and executes an optimization algorithm, beginning with the initial set of delay values, to arrive at a set of delay values that at least approximately meets an criteria while satisfying timing constraints associated with selected pairs of logically connected clock sinks. In a preferred form, the optimization algorithm is a genetic algorithm or a gradient descent algorithm. The genetic algorithm involves selecting parent sets of delay values, crossing over so as to produce a child set of delay values, mutating the child set of delay values, evaluating how well the child set of delay values meets the criteria, and conditionally discarding the child set on the basis of the evaluating step. The gradient descent algorithm involves perturbing the initial set of delay values, evaluating how well the perturbed set of delay values meets the criteria, and conditionally discarding the perturbed set on the basis of the evaluating step. If the perturbed set is not discarded, then the gradient descent algorithm adjusts the values of the perturbed set in the same direction relative to the corresponding values in the initial set.

A system and method is provided for controlling clock skew to meet timing constraints for a semiconductor integrated circuit. On-chip self-tuning circuits can be connected to each latch in the integrated circuit for controlling clock skew. Each self-tuning circuit delays a clock signal that is input to a latch when the clock skew does not satisfy the timing constraint for that latch. The self-tuning circuit repeatedly delays the clock signal until the clock skew is satisfied or until the delay becomes greater than or equal to a predetermined threshold. The delayed clock signal is then pushed to other latches in the integrated circuit until all the timing constraints for the integrated circuit are satisfied.

A child seat is constructed such that when the child seat is set facing the rear of the car on a car seat, the child seat is securely fixed on the seat. A handle surrounding the front of a sitting occupant is provided in a seat back portion of the child seat, and a tether extends from the handle. When the child seat is set on a car seat so that it faces the rear of the car, the tether is pulled toward the rear of the car. A hook on the tip portion of the tether is latched onto a tether anchor of the car behind the car seat, and the rear panel and the handle are joined.

A child seat is formed of a bottom squab on which buttocks of a child is seated, a seat back connected to the bottom squab for supporting a back of the child, and side walls disposed on side portions of the bottom squab and the seat back. An indicator for indicating an inclination angle of the child seat is arranged on a top of one of the side walls. In the child seat, the inclination angle of the seat can be easily checked through the indicator, thus facilitating the attachment of the child seat to a vehicle seat.
