Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure provide for a method for updating business information. A business at a business location and a reference image for the business at the business location may be selected for an update. From a number of more recent images, a comparison image may be selected based on a likelihood that the comparison image captures the business location. Text and visual features reference image may be compared with text and visual features of the comparison image to determine a text similarity score and a features similarity score. A confidence level indicating whether the business in the reference image is in the comparison image may then be determined using the text similarity score and the feature similarity score. According to the confidence level, the business information of the business may be updated.

Abstract: A check valve cover to prevent backflow of air through a cooling fan. A circumferential base connects to a fan and flaps arranged in an annular pattern, the flaps each have an outer substantially fixed portion and an inner un-fixed portion. The flaps are flexibly fixed at the outer fixed portion to the circumferential base and are freely movable at the inner un-fixed portion. Flaps may have self-closing property and/or may incorporate one or more anti-vibration holes located between adjacent flaps. Check valve can be fitted on outlet side of a fan close to output side of the fan so that opening of the flaps towards fan is prevented to prevent backflow of air when the fan is not operational.

Abstract: A cooling system for electrical and electronic devices for hot swapping of a fan module without affecting cooling efficiency due to air backflow, preventing stalling of newly installed exhaust device due to reverse rotation. A check valve assembly having an inlet side frame member, an outlet side frame member, and one or more non-symmetrical valve flaps, each flap having a movable part and a fixed part. The outlet side frame allows the flaps to open under suction pressure on side of the outlet side frame, the inlet side frame disallows the flaps to open under suction pressure on side of the inlet side frame, allowing air to flow in one direction from inlet side frame side to outlet side frame side only. The check valve assembly can be independent of the exhaust device. The check valve assembly can prevent backflow of air during hot swapping of the exhaust device.
