Is the NOR gate a universal gate?

The NOR gate is a universal gate. A universal gate is a logic gate  that can implement any Boolean function without using any other type of  logic gate. The NOR gate is a universal gate; therefore, one can create  any logical Boolean expression using the NOR gate. This is beneficial  because the NOR gate is more accessible to fabricate and more economical  than other logic gates.

What does an invert bubble at the input of a logic gate mean?

An invert bubble at the input of a logic gate means that the signal  is inverted. The invert bubble is present at the input of the logic gate  to show an active-LOW input. Bubbles indicate whether the signal is  active low or active high. The output signal is high when the input  signal is low, and vice versa.

Can you think of other statements that can be translated to logic circuits? 

Another statement would be, “If one goes to bed at the right time and  sleeps well, they will be feeling good the following day. This is an  AND statement.

• Going to bed at the right time
• Sleeping well
• Feeling good the following day

Discuss the statement "Translating logical statements into logic circuits."

This is the same as saying that a particular question has a yes or  no, or off-and-on answer. An example is if a light is switched on, it  will go on.
