Task 11. Translate the following sentences and word combinations into
         Russian including:

         A: The infinitive in function of adverbial modifiers.

         1. Computers were designed to perform thousands of computations per
         second. 2. To make computers more reliable transistors were used. 3.
         They were applied to reduce computational time. 4. To integrate large
         numbers of circuit elements into a small chip, transistors should be
         reduced in size. 5. To use integrated circuit technology new computers
         were built. 6. Analytical engine was invented to store data.

         B: The infinitive in function of attributes

         The problem to be solved; the work to be finished; the cards to be
         punched; calculations to be performed; the machine to be shown at the
         exhibition; the device to be provided with the necessary facts;
         computers to be used for data processing; efforts to increase reliability;
         electronics to connect systems and subsystems; the speed of response to
         depend on the size of transistor; computers to perform thousands of
         calculations per second; vacuum tubes to control and amplify electric
         signals; these are circuits to use a large number of transistors;
         operations to be performed.
