This is a Flip flop.  From looking at the above, I'm guessing this would be
translated to reset/set connections depending on the f/f in the library you
translate this too. Maybe I'm stating the obvious here, but GTECH is the
internal library that designs are translated to by Synopsys FIRST, before
being moved to the target libary.

Hope this helps some.
