Are you referring to AC-coupled/triggerred

The latter, complete with capacitor and/or transformer coupling.
It's before my time, so I'm no expert, but I'm unaware of any 'full'
systems
made using such techniques.
What I've run across about such stuff seemed to talk about it in-principle but
with little or limited/specialised practical appplication. Core-logic, which
was inherently AC-coupled, didn't go very far. The parametron circuit was
AC-coupled wasn't it? .. read a little bit about it some years ago, but not in
much depth.
...and wasn't there a type of logic using
microwave technology and
various stripline shapes? I think I remember reading about that kind
of thing in the 60's.
..haven't heard of that one before.
