Previous to t1, q has the value 1, so at t1, q remains at a 1. Here is an sr latch circuit, built from nand gates.
A d flip flop stores 2 bits of information at the outputs, q and q. Thus, the output has two stable states based on the inputs which have been discussed below. When a switch is opened or closed the mechanical contacts do not break or make a connection instantaneously, but can bounce between open and closed, thus making several transitions. Whenever the clock signal is low, the input is never going to affect the output state. If both s and r are asserted, then both q and q are equal to 1 as shown at time t4.
