| Number | Title | Issue Date |
| 4528629 | Electronic control apparatus with defined reset function To provide for starting of signal processing operations in a microprocessor (7), for example an automotive-type microprocessor, subject to frequent power interruptions, in which the processing operations are controlled by clock signals from a clock genera... | 07/09/1985 |
| 4521847 | Control system job recovery after a malfunction The present invention is a multiprocessor control system that allows full job recovery after a machine power down or after a malfunction or software crash or temporary power outage. In particular, essential variables such as the state and status of the ma... | 06/04/1985 |
| 4464584 | Microprocessor with resetting circuit arrangement In a microprocessor with a reset circuit arrangement acting in dependence upon the inception of its supply voltage, safe operation is ensured after stoppages or operating voltage interruptions, particularly in view of a delay of the internal program flow ... | 08/07/1984 |
| 4433390 | Power processing reset system for a microprocessor responding to sudden deregulation of a voltage A power processing circuit operatively and electrically connected to one regulated supply (16) voltage responds through a comparator means (24) and a monitor means (26) to generate a reset pulse (84) to a microprocessor (28) whenever the regulated supply ... | 02/21/1984 |
| 4429366 | Microprocessor-based load management terminal with reset A load management terminal is utilized as an end device in a utility's distribution network communication system. The distribution network carries electrical power as well as communication signals. The load management terminal is comprised of a power line... | 01/31/1984 |
| 4410991 | Supervisory control apparatus Apparatus for monitoring and controlling the operation of a program-controlled computer. The program causes the computer to produce a signature waveform characteristic of proper computer operation at a dedicated output. The presence or absence of this wav... | 10/18/1983 |
| 4408328 | Microprogram control circuit A microprogram control circuit interrupts high speed clock signals inputted to a processor when a HALT instruction issues from the processor in order to end operation at completion of a program. The clock signal is provided only when a program is in proce... | 10/04/1983 |
| 4399537 | Control circuit and fuel burner incorporating a control circuit A fail-safe supervisory circuit for a microprocessor-controlled fuel burner has a diode pump circuit (C4, C5, D7, D8) triggered by a resettable monostable (R7, T2, R8, C3) responsive to an encoded signal from the microprocessor, to act as a watch-dog time... | 08/16/1983 |
| 4363092 | Malfunction preventing system for a microcomputer system A malfunction preventing system for a microcomputer system is disclosed which detects an abnormal condition in the program execution to produce an alarm or reset signal to automatically restart the computer. The malfunction preventing system is applicable... | 12/07/1982 |
