There are 3 major differences between Mutex and Binary
semaphore.....
1. In case of Mutex semaphore the task that had taken the
semaphore can only give it, however in the case of binary
semaphore any task can give the semaphore.
2. Calling SemFlush() function in Mutex is illegal.
3. Mutex Semaphore can not be given from an ISR.
