31. The "on" state refers to a CMOS logic inverter where, in steady state, the voltage drop across the "on" transistor is zero and the full voltage appears across the "off transistor. The switching delay and switching energy for the "on/off transition is determined by the amount of charge that has to be removed from the "on" transistor in order to turn it off.
32. These broader issues involve the use of reversible computation rather than conventional logic circuits.
33. lim the limiting velocity of the linear dispersion branch.
34. For the opposite limit, where the gate is farther away, the velocity will be increased concomitantly with the reduction in capacitance.
