Abstract: A video analysis system performs indexing of one or more videos in parallel by using pipelines executed by task processors. A task processor may include compute resources configured on a cloud infrastructure or on-premise compute resources. The video analysis system receives requests to index one or more videos. In one instance, the requests may be from users of client devices with requests to index the videos, such that the indexed information can be used to perform downstream applications, such as search query-based retrieval, and the like. The video analysis system performs the indexing process in parallel, so that significant bottlenecks can be eliminated compared to existing methods.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a boss configuration for a Type IV composite pressure vessel (“CPV”). In particular, the invention provides liner-to-boss interface that allows the polymeric liner to wrap around the internal collar of the boss that extends below the flange. Since the wrap-around section of the liner conforming to the internal collar portion of the boss is subjected to pressure from all sides, the liner stays adhered to the boss when the inside surface of the liner in a CPV is subjected to internal pressure from the contained fluid.
