NAND-gate Latch
The time sequence at right shows the conditions under which the set and reset inputs cause a state change, and when they don't. The concept of a "latch" circuit is important to creating memory devices. The function of such a circuit is to "latch" the value created by the input signal to the device and hold that value until some other signal changes it. |

which does not switch the flip-flop, so it ignores further input.
