Soldering other precipitation may wash the lead into the groundwater. Unfortunately, most lead-free solders are not eutectic formulations, melting at around , making it more difficult to create reliable joints with them. Other common solders include low-temperature formulations (often containing bismuth), which are often used to join previously-soldered assemblies without unsoldering earlier connections, and high-temperature formulations (usually containing silver) which are used for high-temperature operation or for first assembly of items which must not become unsoldered during subsequent operations. Alloying silver with other metals changes the melting point, adhesion and wetting characteristics, and tensile strength. Of all the brazing alloys, silver
Asymmetric C-element into account the common and the asymmetric minus inputs. All these inputs must be low for the down transition to happen. The figure shows the gate-level and transistor-level implementations and symbol of the asymmetric C-element. In the figure the plus inputs are marked with a 'P', the minus inputs are marked with an 'm' and the common inputs are marked with a 'C'. In addition, it is possible to extend the asymmetric input convention to inverted C-elements, where a plus (minus) on an input port means that an input is required for the inverted output to fall (rise). Asymmetric C-element
