Complementing flip-flops with bi-directional steering gate and inverter transistor

Claim 1

A BI-STABLE CIRCUIT ADAPTED TO BE SHIFTED FROM EITHER OF TWO STABLE OPERATING STATES TO THE OTHER SUCH STATE IN RESPONSE TO EACH OF SUCCESSIVE TRIGGERING PULSES OF THE SAME POLARITY, SAID CIRCUIT COMPRISING A BI-STABLE DEVICE HAVING AN INPUT AND AN OUTPUT, A BI-DIRECTIONAL TRANSISTOR HAVING TWO OUTER ZONES OF ONE CONDUCTIVITY TYPE AND AN INNER ZONE OF THE OTHER CONDUCTIVITY TYPE, DIRECT CURRENT MEANS COUPLING ONE OF SAID OUTER ZONES TO THE INPUT OF SAID BI-STABLE DEVICE, AND DELAY CIRCUIT MEANS CONNECTING THE OUTPUT OF SAID BI-STABLE DEVICE TO THE OTHER OUTER ZONE OF SAID BI-DIRECTIONAL TRANSISTOR WHEREBY SAID BI-DIRECTIONAL TRANSISTOR IS BIASED FOR CONDUCTION IN A DIRECTION CORRESPONDING TO THE STATE OF SAID BI-STABLE DEVICE, SAID DELAY CIRCUIT TENDING TO RESIST A RAPID CHANGE IN THE AMOUNT OF BIAS ON SAID BI-DIRECTIONAL TRANSISTOR UPON SHIFTING THE STATE OF SAID BI-STABLE DEVICE, AND PULSE GENERATING MEANS FOR SUPPLYING PULSES OF ONE POLARITY TO THE INNER ZONE OF SAID BI-DIRECTIONAL TRANSISTOR TO SHIFT THE STATE OF THE FLIPFLOP IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE DIRECTION OF CONDUCTION OF SAID BI-DIRECTIONAL TRANSISTOR.
