 A Bistable is a circuit with two stable conditions so that it can be switched between the one and the other and hold it indefinitely.
+=====Bit=====
+A single 'Bit' of information that can either be 'True', 'On', 'Set' (1) or 'False', 'Off', 'Clear' (0).\\
+The bit (a portmanteau of binary digit) is a basic unit of information used in computing and digital communications. A binary digit can have only one of two values, and may be physically represented with a two-state device. These state values are most commonly represented as either a 0 or 1. [[wp>Bit|Bit]]

 In analysis of an electric power network a "bus" is any node of the single-line diagram at which voltage, current, power flow, or other quantities are to be evaluated. These may or may not correspond with heavy electrical conductors at a substation.
+=====Byte=====
+The byte is a unit of digital information that most commonly consists of eight bits, representing a binary number. Historically, the byte was the number of bits used to encode a single character of text in a computer[1][2] and for this reason it is the smallest addressable unit of memory in many computer architectures.
