Greetings.
I'm making some experiments with DTL circuits, and i wonder if i missed something obvious when piecing the bits and facts about it from around the net.
Are there ways to reduce the number of elements in the circuit when multiple DTL gates are used?
For example, here is a NAND gate:
[PLAIN]http://www.play-hookey.com/digital/experiments/images/dtl_nand3_sch.gif
3 diodes (for 2-input case), 2 resistors and a transistor.
Now, say we have a bigger circuit, like this:

Are all of the elements in each gate mandatory there, or maybe some of them can be omitted?
I can't see any extra components, so there goes the question.
