    Building Gate
AI Thread Summary
Building a NOT gate using only AND and OR gates is not possible without incorporating negation. The discussion confirms that negation is essential for creating a NOT function, as AND and OR gates alone cannot achieve this. While using NAND or NOR gates would make the task trivial, the absence of negation in the current setup limits the options. The participants agree on the necessity of including negation to successfully construct a NOT gate. Thus, without negation, constructing a NOT gate from just AND and OR gates is unfeasible.

Is it possible to building one from using AND and OR gates, cause I've been trying and now I'm wondering if it's even possible
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
no, you're going to have to bring negation in there somewhere. If you had a nand or a nor it's trivial but I don't see how it can be done with elements that provide no negation.
 
Righto, thanks for confirming that
 

Thread 'Query on Isentropic relationships (such as PV^gamma = constant)'

Hi all, I have a question. So from the derivation of the Isentropic process relationship PV^gamma = constant, there is a step dW = PdV, which can only be said for quasi-equilibrium (or reversible) processes. As such I believe PV^gamma = constant (and the family of equations) should not be applicable to just adiabatic processes? Ie, it should be applicable only for adiabatic + reversible = isentropic processes? However, I've seen couple of online notes/books, and...

Thread 'How can I find the cleanout for my building drain?'

I am a long distance truck driver, but I recently completed a plumbing program with Stratford Career Institute. In the chapter of my textbook Repairing DWV Systems, the author says that if there is a clog in the building drain, one can clear out the clog by using a snake augur or maybe some other type of tool into the cleanout for the building drain. The author said that the cleanout for the building drain is usually near the stack. I live in a duplex townhouse. Just out of curiosity, I...

Thread 'Dry sump pump issue'

I have an engine that uses a dry sump oiling system. The oil collection pan has three AN fittings to use for scavenging. Two of the fittings are approximately on the same level, the third is about 1/2 to 3/4 inch higher than the other two. The system ran for years with no problem using a three stage pump (one pressure and two scavenge stages). The two scavenge stages were connected at times to any two of the three AN fittings on the tank. Recently I tried an upgrade to a four stage pump...
