Filed:

Mar 27, 2007

Appl. No.:

11/729400

Inventors:

Jonathan B. Ballagh - Boulder CO, US
Michael D. Hirsch - Boulder CO, US

Assignee:

Xilinx, Inc. - San Jose CA

International Classification:

G06F 17/50

US Classification:

703 14, 703 13, 703 20, 703 23, 702 4, 702 5, 702 8, 716119, 716123, 716127

Abstract:

Methods and systems for simulating an electronic system in a high level modeling system (HLMS). A design block and certain signals of the electronic system are selected. The selected signals include internal signals of the design block that are not ports of the design block. The electronic system is simulated in the HLMS, which includes a hardware-based co-simulation platform and a software-based co-simulation platform. A hardware realization of the design block is automatically generated and the design block is emulated in the hardware based co-simulation platform using the hardware realization of the design block. A sequence of values is displayed for the selected signals of the electronic system. During the simulation of the electronic system in the HLMS, the sequence of values for the internal signals of the design block and another sequence of values for the ports of the design block are transferred between the co-simulation platforms.

Inventors:

Michael Hirsch - Pacific Palisades CA

Assignee:

Energy Management Corporation - Los Alamitos CA

International Classification:

A01G 2516
B05B 1212
G06F 1554

US Classification:

364420

Abstract:

Irrigation control apparatus includes: (a) a mast having a lower portion adapted to be removably inserted into the earth, (b) soil moisture sensing structure associated with or separate from said lower portion of the mast, and (c) data transmitting apparatus on an upper portion of the mast and operatively connected with said sensing structure for transmitting to a central station data indicative of soil moisture conditions at the location of the mast.

Appl. No.:

6/221519

Inventors:

Michael Hirsch - Pacific Palisades CA

Assignee:

Energy Management Corporation - Gardena CA

International Classification:

A01G 2516
B05B 1212

US Classification:

239 63

Abstract:

Irrigation control apparatus includes a mast or masts, a soil moisture sensor or sensors associated with a lower portion of each mast, data transmission apparatus associated with an upper portion of each mast to transmit data continuously measured by the sensor, and circuitry to process that transmitted data.
