Abstract: A pump device includes a casing, an impeller, a base, and a motor. The casing includes a pump chamber, and an inlet and an outlet. The impeller is accommodated in the pump chamber. The motor is connected to the casing for driving the impeller to rotate and includes a rotor chamber for receiving a rotor. The base is disposed between the impeller and the motor and includes an accommodating groove having an inlet port in communication with the rotor chamber to allow fluid in the pump chamber to enter into the rotor chamber. In the pump device, precipitation has been performed to fluid in the accommodating groove before the fluid enters into the rotor chamber, thus the impurity particles can be prevented from entering into the rotor chamber, thereby prolonging the service life of the pump device.

Abstract: A search engine identifies external data records that describe similar entities and may each conform to a different data format or source schema. The engine derives mappings capable of translating data values between differently formatted attributes of two source schemas and uses these mappings to identify degrees of similarity between attributes and schemas. When the search engine receives a search request, the engine translates submitted search criteria into values of a first schema's attributes and then uses the mappings to map those values onto selected attributes of other schemas. The search engine then uses each schema's selected attributes to select external data records formatted in that schema. Each selected record is assigned a match score that is weighted by the similarity of the record schema's selected attributes to the search criteria. Records are then retrieved in order of decreasing match score.

Abstract: Systems and methods relying on recognition of a pattern in a data stream, such as detecting a hotword in an audio data stream are sensitive to latency (e.g., response time). To reduce power consumption, a low power processor may be used in combination with a higher power speech recognition device. When the hotword is detected by the low power signal processor, the primary speech recognition device is signaled to wake up and begin emptying a buffer storing the hotword and subsequent audio data. Latency is the delay incurred to recognize the hotword and begin emptying the buffer. To catch-up and reduce the latency, the buffer is drained at a faster rate than the buffer is filled until a latency reduction trigger is received. The latency reduction trigger is generated when the latency has been reduced to a predetermined level.
