Abstract: A water saving device is disclosed, which comprises a base having a water flow channel, a throttle ring and a support seat made of an elastic material, and a capacity space is formed in the base, and the support seat is disposed in the capacity space. An annular channel is formed between the support seat and the base. The water channel is in communication with the annular channel. The throttle ring is disposed in the annular channel. When the water pressure is increased to a certain extent, the throttle ring is deformed, and the cross-sectional area of the water flow channel is reduced. The water saving device can effectively prevent the throttle ring from shifting or falling off, and it also has good structural strength and stability that is not easily deformed or broken by external force.

The method comprises: in response to a request of a first user for first information, searching a database to obtain second information; determining a first relevance between a second user associated with the second information and the first user; determining a second relevance between the second information and the first information based on the first relevance; and presenting the second information to the first user based at least in part on the second relevance.

Abstract: A computer-implemented technique is described herein for using a machine-trained model to identify individual objects within images. The technique then creates a relational index for the identified objects. That is, each index entry in the relational index is associated with a given object, and includes a set of attributes pertaining to the given object. One such attribute identifies at least one latent semantic vector associated with the given object. Each attribute provides a way of linking the given object to one or more other objects in the relational index. In one application of this technique, a user may submit a query that specifies a query object. The technique consults the relational index to find one or more objects that are related to the query object. In some cases, the query object and each of the other objects have a complementary relationship.
