C-element desirable effect. For example, using the ternary majority function defined as does not lead to the ternary C-element specified by the truth table, if the sum formula_6 is not split into pairs. However, even without such a splitting two ternary majority functions are suitable for building a ternary inclusive OR gate. Note that both the Maevsky and Tsirlin circuits are based actually on so-called David cell. Its fast transistor-level implementation is used in the semistatic C-element proposed. Yet another semistatic circuit using pass transistors (actually MUX 2:1) has been proposed. Other technologies suitable for realizing asynchronous primitives including C-element, are:
Glass-to-metal seal absorb the stresses from thermal expansion mismatches. Due to its very low vapor pressure, indium finds use in glass-metal seals used in vacuum technology. Gallium is a soft metal with melting point at 30 °C. It readily wets glasses and most metals and can be used for seals that can be assembled/disassembled by just slight heating. It can be used as a liquid seal up to high temperatures or even at lower temperatures when alloyed with other metals (e.g. as galinstan). Mercury is a metal liquid at normal temperature. It was used as the earliest glass-to-metal seal and is still
