  • Patent number: 11930016
    Abstract: A client application is specified by a target tenant and represented in an OAuth provider, along with a corresponding secret. A source tenant consents to permissions to be executed by the client application on a resource of the source tenant. A target service uses the secret to obtain an access token from an authorization server coupled to the source tenant and uses the access token to obtain access, specified by the permissions, to the resource served by a source service acting on behalf of the source tenant.

  • Patent number: 11131221
    Abstract: A central valve for a camshaft phaser includes a hollow cylindrical housing, a hydraulic unit, a control piston, a retaining ring, and a washer. The hollow cylindrical housing includes a first radial opening and a groove. The hydraulic unit is disposed in the hollow cylindrical housing and includes a second radial opening and a channel. The control piston is axially moveable in the hydraulic unit to adjust a flow of a hydraulic medium through the first radial opening, the second radial opening, and the channel. The retaining ring is disposed in the groove to retain the hydraulic unit and the control piston in the hollow cylindrical housing. The washer is disposed in the hollow cylindrical housing axially between the hydraulic unit and the retaining ring.
