The first server receives a credential that includes a token for the first component and sends the credential to a second server. The second server sends the credential, a second server identifier, and an identifier for a second component of the second server to the IAM server. The second server receives an acknowledgment from the IAM server and sends the acknowledgment to the first server.

Abstract: A method of setup a protection mechanism for scheduled transmissions to multiple stations is introduced. Through transmitting a control frame addressing to multiple stations for immediate simultaneous responses, the transmitter would know the stations that are ready for receiving the scheduled data frames and schedule the packet for those stations.

A new mechanism of simultaneous group responses to the control frame with orthogonal identifier information for individual station is provided to uniquely identify the responding stations.

Abstract: In the past, several microchannel configurations were developed to realize two-phase cooling for high-power electronics, but these were limited to small devices with sizes at ˜cm length. It has been a challenge to implement effective two-phase cooling to large devices with a length of ˜10 cm due to notorious scaling effects. Here, we devised a novel channel configuration to achieve effective two-phase cooling on devices with an area of ˜10 cm by ˜5 cm or larger, which is the prevailing size of major commercial electronics and power electronics devices. In a lab environment, we demonstrated that the novel channel configuration can meet their cooling needs.
