Abstract: Disclosed are a method, an extruder and an injection molding machine for manufacturing a clamping ring, solving problems that products produced by an extrusion method needs to be processed in two steps. The key point of technical solutions lie in a molding step of acting on a pipe member in a plastic melt state via a molding die set, to form a clamping ring from the pipe member; an injection mold injects plastic materials having memory properties through an injection gate to form a pipe member in the molding cavity, the pipe member comprises a clamping ring and a sealing film provided on one end of the clamping ring, the hydraulic mechanism drives a molding cutter to cut out a joint of the sealing film and the clamping ring in a plastic melt state, thereby a limit end is formed at one end of the clamping ring.

Abstract: Embodiments are provided for a cloud-based reliable media ingestion and transcoding. The embodiments comprise an improved backup mechanism where each worker node, such as a virtual machine, physical machine, workstation, or server, in a cloud or Internet environment handles one streamed media/video channel transcoding and another streamed media/video channel ingestion backup. To reduce ingestion storage demands, the ingestion backup storage is based on a pre-determined relatively short-term sliding window. When an ingestion and transcoding worker node fails, a new worker node is brought up to take over from the failed worker node the live transcoding task of a first channel and the ingestion backup task of a second channel. Additionally, the new worker node retrieves backup data for the first channel from a third worker node and a central media storage to ensure seamlessly uninterrupted live ingestion and transcoding of the first channel, and continues the ingestion backup task of the second channel.
