  • Publication number: 20210029459
    Abstract: A sounding device includes a speaker box, and a thermally conductive member. The speaker box has a first housing body with a first accommodation space and a speaker unit accommodated in the first housing body. The speaker unit includes a diaphragm dividing first accommodation space into a front acoustic cavity between the diaphragm and the first housing body. The thermally conductive member includes a first part, a second part connected with the heat source component. The heat generated by the heat source component is conducted to the air in the sound channel through the thermally conductive member. By virtue of an air cooling effect of the speaker unit, the heat of the thermally conductive member is rapidly conduced into outer air, and thus the heat radiation efficiency can be remarkably improved.

    Abstract: An approach is provided that selects an original entity from an original knowledge graph. The approach then accesses a data source that is external to the original knowledge graph, such as an online encyclopedia. An entity in the data source is identified based on the entity matching the original entity. A new relation is then identified in the data source between the identified entity and a new entity with the new entity being absent from the original knowledge graph. An expanded knowledge graph is then generated with the expanded knowledge graph formed by adding the new entity to the original knowledge graph.
