Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, non-transitory computer-readable media, and methods for processing access requests on a service-to-service basis using a third-party identification token. In particular, the disclosed systems can identify that a user is authenticated for a first computer service based on detecting a third-party identification token. Further, the disclosed systems can generate, by the first computer service, an access request comprising a requested action and the third-party identification token to a second computer service. Additionally, the disclosed systems can determine, by the second computer service, whether the access request is authorized based on determining that an authorization policy defined at the second computer service authorizes the requested action by the first computer service and that the third-party identification token is valid.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for a hot runner injection molding system. The injection molding system has a plurality of melt conveying components defining a melt path from a melt source to a mold cavity and a mold housing. A force sensor or load cell is utilized between at least one melt conveying component of the system and the mold housing to measure a force generated due to thermal expansion of the melt conveying component during start-up and/or operation of the system and to provide an output to a receiving device. In an embodiment, once a sealing load or a predetermined preload force has been reached, an injection molding cycle may begin.

Abstract: An injection molding apparatus comprises a manifold having a manifold channel for receiving a melt stream of moldable material under pressure. A nozzle having a nozzle channel receives the melt stream from the manifold channel and delivers the melt stream through a mold gate to a mold cavity. The nozzle includes a nozzle head, a nozzle body and a nozzle tip. A heat dissipation device is coupled to the nozzle body at a location between the nozzle head and the nozzle tip to regulate the temperature of the nozzle and maintain it within a predetermined temperature range.

Abstract: An injection molding apparatus comprising a hot runner manifold, a heater coupled to the manifold and a heat dissipation device coupled to said manifold, wherein said heat dissipation device reduces hot spots on said manifold caused by uneven heating.
