A cost-effective, bandwidth-efficient, and power-efficient system is provided in which data streams received from several different video sources are converted into sequences of symbols selected from a predetermined constellation and are multiplexed on a symbol-by-symbol basis into a single sequence of symbols for transmission on a channel. Using a symbol multiplexer helps to mitigate the effect o...

The invention discloses a NOx adsorption and removal apparatus employed in the method of passing NOx containing gas into the adsorber 1 filled with NOx adsorbent to adsorb a specific volume of NOx on the adsorbent, passing hot air into the adsorber to desorb NOx, and regenerating the adsorbent, wherein the adsorber is divided in plural zones arranged parallel in the gas flow direction. In this inv...

Water pressure regulator for commercial and residential areas used in order to reduce the water pressure on valves, hoses, water heaters, faucets, etc., when water is not in use or when there is a leak. The reduction of pressure on such valves, hoses, etc., is intended to eliminate leaks and floods. The regulator will not interfere with the water pressure when water is used.
