PURPOSE:To simplify the control of a CPU, by inhibiting a response signal transmission to a CPU and restarting to a storage section based on a memory cycle end signal formed in the storage device, when an error takes place after the start from the CPU. CONSTITUTION:When a START signal comes to a storage device from a CPU, the signal is fetched to a register and starts a control circuit via an OR g...

PURPOSE:To prevent runaway of a semiconductor circuit device, by detecting a failure clock from a clock oscillation circuit and generating a reset or stop signal for the semiconductor control circuit device such as a microcomputer. CONSTITUTION:An astable multivibrator 8 of a microcomputer MC outputs a clock with a shorter width than the normal clock period from an oscillation circuit 4 with a cap...

This invention relates to a safety ski-binding of the kind comprising a heel binding and a front binding including sole-clamps to hold down the toe portion of the sole of a ski-boot. According to the invention, the sole-clamps are mounted to tilt about a pivot shaft which is arranged to extend transversely to the longitudinal direction of the ski, when mounted, below the plane of the bottom of the...
