Apparatus provided for reducing the volume of trash generated from plastic bottles and containers whether destined for landfill or not. A gas source emits a gas for attracting insects. The processed first image is then superimposed upon a second image to provide a composite image. The disclosure also teaches the placement of data from two or more circuits destined for the same emulation endpoint into the same transmission packet in order to improve system performance. Signal components derived from the speech signal combine coherently in the summation circuit, while noise signal components combine incoherently, resulting in composite output signal with an improved signal-to-noise ratio.
