| 20090244523 | Optical fiber continuous measurement system - An optical fiber continuous measurement system continually measures at least one optical property along a length of optical fiber. The system includes a rotatable body onto which a reflector is secured. The reflector is optically coupled to an end of the optical fiber, thereby allowing light propagating from the optical fiber to the reflector to be reflected back along the length of the optical fiber toward a measuring device. The property to be measured is acquired as the fiber is wound from one rotatable body to the other. The system is particularly suited for measuring attenuation, including macrobend loss in which case a localized bending mechanism is employed, along the length of the fiber. | 10-01-2009 |

The method determines an exploded list of one of the netlists, such as the second netlist, where the netlist is reversed such that the pins of the netlist are used as keys to an associated net name. A pin in the first netlist is then determined. The pin may be associated with a first net name in the first netlist. The pin is looked up in the exploded list using it as a key to determine a second net name for the pin. The process continues using each pin in the first netlist to determine the net name associated with the pin in the second netlist. When this process is finished, crosslinks between net names that match across netlists are determined. | 11-20-2008 |
