Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive a disadvantage because it can lead to lower quality electrical connections – can be used to place components more tightly than they used to be placed due to the properties of lead-containing solders. For example, Motorola reports that their new RoHS wireless device assembly techniques are "...enabling a smaller, thinner, lighter unit." Their Motorola Q phone would not have been possible without the new solder. The lead-free solder allows for tighter pad spacing. Research into new alloys and technologies is allowing companies to release RoHS products that are currently exempt from compliance, "e.g." computer servers. IBM has announced a RoHS
C-element particular, the so-called Maevsky's implementation is a non-distributive circuit loosely based on. Non-distributivity is introduced sometimes to increase concurrency. The 3NAND gate in this circuit can be replaced by two 2NAND gates. The C-element using only two-input gates has been proposed by Tsirlin and then synthesized by Starodoubtsev et al. using Taxogram language. This circuit coincides with that attributed (without reference) to Bartky and can operate without the input latch. Yet another version of the C-element built on two RS latches has been synthesized by Murphy using Petrify tool. However, this circuit includes inverter connected to one if the inputs.
