Abstract: A pocket television receiver comprises a receiver body, including a processor unit for processing the broadcast signals and a power source. The receiver body is sized to fit in a garment pocket. The pocket television receiver also includes an independent display device which can be fitted on the user's wrist. A user can watch the picture image of television easily while walking. The receiver body and the display device are releasably interconnected by cables which also serve as the antenna for receiving broadcast signals. Audio is provided through earphones which connect to the receiver body.

Abstract: 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 process. Should a program continue beyond a preselected time period without a HALT instruction, a control circuit including a timer detects this condition and interrupts the clock signals to the processor. Either an external signal or an automatic internally generated signal allows the clock signal to again enter the processor, reset the registers and address counter, and restart the program. In an alternative embodiment, abnormal operation causes the program to restart without interrupting the clock signals.

Abstract: A single external stem member of an electronic timepiece operates independent switches by push-pull motions and by a rotary operation. Many functions are controlled or adjusted with signals generated by particular sequential combinations of stem member operations in the push-pull and rotary modes. In an alarm timepiece, the rotary switch controls the alarm time setting, and the push-pull switch determines whether an audible alarm and hour markers are to sound, no sounds are to be emitted, or only the alarm is to sound.
