the active (amplifying) elements for each bit of information
storage. Later implementations using bipolar transistors
could operate at up to 20 million state transitions per second
as early as 1963.

sense it is used in Acts xix. 39. But ordinarily, in the New Testament, the
word denotes a Christian assembly, and is rendered into English by the word
church. It occurs thrice only in, the Gospels, viz. in Matt. xvi. 18, and
xviii. 17; but very frequently in the other parts of the New Testament,
beginning with Acts ii. 47. In Acts xix. 37, the word churches, in the
common English version, seems to be improperly used to denote heathen
temples. Figuratively, the word church is employed to signify the building
set apart for the Christian assemblies; but the word eclesia is not used in
the New Testament in that sense.
