NOR gate

OR followed by NOT: the output is 1 only when every input is 0.

Pins

2–8 inputs on the left, one output on the right (the bubble means inverted).

How to use it

Also a universal gate — Norro is named after it. Two cross-coupled NORs remember one bit: the simplest memory circuit.

Usage example

OR, then inverted: the output is 1 only when both inputs are 0 (both are off here, so the LED is lit).
