Abstract: A micro pump having noise-reduced pressure-releasing structure includes a convergence plate, a valve sheet, a chamber plate, and a micro pump. The convergence plate has a convergence outlet and a discharge outlet. The valve sheet has a valve hole and a discharge recessed portion. The chamber plate has a recessed hole, a fluid determine hole, fluid through holes, and a receiving trough. The micro pump is in the receiving trough. During operation of the micro pump, the fluid is firstly transmitted to the fluid through hole and the fluid determine hole to push the valve sheet, and the fluid determine hole pushes the discharge recessed portion to block the discharge outlet. Then, since the pressure of the fluid at the fluid through hole pushes the valve sheet, the fluid flows through the valve hole so as to be discharged out from the convergence outlet.

Abstract: A method for UE route selection policy (URSP) rule matching is proposed. URSP is used by a UE to determine if a detected application can be associated to an established PDU session, can be offload to non-3GPP access outside a PDU session, or can trigger the establishment of a new PDU session. The UE first finds a non-default URSP rule with a matching traffic descriptor to the application. When the UE fails to find existing PDU session or setup new PDU session with any or the route selection descriptors of the non-default URSP rule, the UE moves to another non-default URSP rule, if any, and try the matching. If all non-default URSP rules cannot be matched with the application, then the UE tries the default URSP rule, which includes a match-all traffic descriptor.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for multi-model processing on resource-constrained devices. A resource-constrained device can determine, based on a battery-life for a battery of the device, whether to process input through a first model or a second model. The first model can be a gating model that is more energy efficient to execute, and the second model can be a main model that is more accurate than the gating model. Depending on the current battery-life and/or other criteria, the system can process, through the gating model, sensor input that can record activity performed by a user of the resource-constrained device. If the gating model predicts an activity performed by the user that is recorded by the sensor data, the device can process the same or additional input through the main model. Overall power consumption can be reduced with a minimum accuracy maintained over processing input only through the main model.
