Flip-flop having improved synchronous reset

TLDR
In this paper, a flip-flop is provided having a data gate circuit for receiving input data and generating therefrom first and second complementary internal data signals representative of the input data.
Abstract: 
A flip-flop is provided having a data gate circuit means (1) for receiving input data and generating therefrom first and second complementary internal data signals representative of the input data. A master circuit means (2) is coupled to the data gate circuit means for receiving a clock pulse and for latching the internal data signals during a predetermined portion of the clock pulse. A slave circuit means (3) is coupled to the master circuit means for storing the internal data signals. A reset means (23) supplies a synchronous reset signal to the master circuit means for resetting the first and second complementary internal data signals on the occurrence of the next clock pulse.

Noise rejection Set-Reset Flip-Flop circuitry

TL;DR: Set-Reset Master-Slave Flip-Flop circuitry as mentioned in this paper uses a feedback circuit connected to a circuitry output terminal and to set and reset input terminals to limit the effect of spurious signals such that only signals applied to set-and reset terminals which are of the appropriate state at least prior to and during the transition of a clock signal from low to high state cause the output terminals of the flip-flop to be set to or maintained in preselected levels.
