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:
Alkali-metal thermal to electric converter this technology into general residential and commercial cogeneration schemes, although costs per kilowatt-hour would have to drop substantially from current projections. Alkali-metal thermal to electric converter The alkali-metal thermal-to-electric converter (AMTEC), originally called the sodium heat engine (SHE) was invented by Joseph T. Kummer and Neill Weber at Ford in 1966, and is described in US Patents , , and . It is a thermally regenerative electrochemical device for the direct conversion of heat to electrical energy. It is characterized by high potential efficiencies and no moving parts except the working fluid, which make it a candidate for space power
