One (very basic) example of how to use this is to connect two buttons on either side of a door, each to one output, and hook a wire to the doorknob. If either or both button/buttons is pressed, the door will open.

A more complex example of how to do this is to connect two wood detectors with differing types of wood in them to a conveyor switch through an OR gate, and the lasers from both detectors go across a belt. If either type of wood in the detectors passes by, the switch will activate and send only those two types of wood down a separate beltway. A basic Auto Sorting System can be achieved with this method.
