From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (27 SEP 03) [foldoc]:

  gate
       
           A low-level {digital} logic component.  Gates
          perform {Boolean} {functions} (e.g. {AND}, {NOT}), store
          {bit}s of data (e.g. a {flip-flop}), and connect and
          disconnect various parts of the overall circuit to control the
          flow of data ({tri-state} buffer).
       
          In a {CPU}, the term applies particularly to the buffers that
          route data between the various {functional units}.  Each gate
          allows data to flow from one unit to another or enables data
          from one output onto a certain {bus}.

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:

  Gate
     (1.) Of cities, as of Jerusalem (Jer. 37:13; Neh. 1:3; 2:3;
     3:3), of Sodom (Gen. 19:1), of Gaza (Judg. 16:3).
     
       (2.) Of royal palaces (Neh. 2:8).
     
       (3.) Of the temple of Solomon (1 Kings 6:34, 35; 2 Kings
     18:16); of the holy place (1 Kings 6:31, 32; Ezek. 41:23, 24);
     of the outer courts of the temple, the beautiful gate (Acts
     3:2).
     
       (4.) Tombs (Matt. 27:60).
     
       (5.) Prisons (Acts 12:10; 16:27).
     
       (6.) Caverns (1 Kings 19:13).
     
       (7.) Camps (Ex. 32:26, 27; Heb. 13:12).
     
       The materials of which gates were made were,
     
       (1.) Iron and brass (Ps. 107:16; Isa. 45:2; Acts 12:10).
     
       (2.) Stones and pearls (Isa. 54:12; Rev. 21:21).
     
       (3.) Wood (Judg. 16:3) probably.
     
       At the gates of cities courts of justice were frequently held,
     and hence "judges of the gate" are spoken of (Deut. 16:18; 17:8;
     21:19; 25:6, 7, etc.). At the gates prophets also frequently
     delivered their messages (Prov. 1:21; 8:3; Isa. 29:21; Jer.
     17:19, 20; 26:10). Criminals were punished without the gates (1
     Kings 21:13; Acts 7:59). By the "gates of righteousness" we are
     probably to understand those of the temple (Ps. 118:19). "The
     gates of hell" (R.V., "gates of Hades") Matt. 16:18, are
     generally interpreted as meaning the power of Satan, but
     probably they may mean the power of death, denoting that the
     Church of Christ shall never die.
