  • Publication number: 20240019209
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing ceramic tape includes a step of directing a tape of partially-sintered ceramic into a furnace. The tape is partially-sintered such that grains of the ceramic are fused to one another yet the tape still includes at least 10% porosity by volume, where the porosity refers to volume of the tape unoccupied by the ceramic. The method further includes steps of conveying the tape through the furnace and further sintering the tape as the tape is conveyed through the furnace. The porosity of the tape decreases during the further sintering step.

  • Publication number: 20230394485
    Abstract: Provided is a method including receiving, by a user device, a request from an identity service to approve communicating a user proof-of-identity to a relying party. A user of the user device is prompted to request a one-time transaction identifier based on the request. Based on a first input from the user, the user device requests the one one-time transaction identifier from the identity service. In response to the request for the one-time transaction identifier, the user device receives the one-time transaction identifier from the identity server and displays the one-time transaction identifier on a first user device screen. The user inputs the one-time transaction identifier on a second user device screen and the user device communicates the one-time transaction identifier to the identity service. In response to receiving the at least one inputted one-time transaction identifier, the relying party determines whether to approve or deny a transaction.
