Abstract: A failure caused by a soft-error including MNU, of an electronic apparatus is prevented, while suppressing increase of a mounting area, power consumption, and processing time. The electronic apparatus stores data indicating the state of a flip-flop included in a sequential logic circuit within an arithmetic unit, each time when execution is performed on a check point provided for every predetermined number of instructions. When a symptom of a soft-error is detected, the apparatus sets the state of the flip-flop included in the sequential logic circuit within the arithmetic unit, based on the data stored after execution of the instruction at the immediately preceding check point, and restarts execution from the next instruction, being subsequent to the instruction associated with the immediately preceding check point.

Abstract: In the event of a software error, operations of a programmable device must be suspended while a configuration memory is being rewritten; however, with a system such as a communication device that will be significantly affected if the device is shut down, the system needs to be restored without suspending the operations.

Abstract: An arc monitor system locates an arc based on optimal frames from a frame obtained before an arc discharge to a frame obtained immediately after the arc discharge. The arc monitor system, used to locate an occurred place of an arc discharge that occurred in an electric facility, includes multiple monitor cameras arranged at multiple places in the electric facility, an image processing device that processes images received from the respective monitor cameras, a control logic section that controls the image processing device, and an operation device that includes a display section and an operation section and is connected to the control logic section. The image processing device and the control logic section extract a change in the images received from the monitor cameras in response to a control signal generated from the electric facility on an occurrence of the arc discharge, and then locate an occurred place of the arc discharge.
