The present invention extends to trusted third party authentication for Web services. Web services trust and delegate user authentication responsibility to a trusted third party that acts as an identity provider for the trusting Web services. The trusted third party authenticates users through common authentication mechanisms, such as, for example, username / password and X.509 certificates and uses initial user authentication to bootstrap subsequent secure sessions with Web services. Web services construct user identity context using a service session token issued by the trusted third party and reconstruct security states without having to use a service-side distributed cache.

The present invention relates to a “method of recycling wasted printed-circuit-board”, which takes advantage of the characteristics of the PCB so as to dispose different recycling material in stage manner, so that different metals remaining on said PCB are sorted out step by step; Thereby, the bromide and the fiberglass of importance in the resins are collected and converted into variety of industrial materials as resource for recycling use in order to prevent said wasted PCB from spoiling the natural environment after recycling use.

An autoclave system provides a means of sterilizing municipal solid waste, hydrolyzing many of its components, and preparing the material for post-autoclave automated separations. The present apparatus provides a means of drying the solid waste in the vessel, while conserving the energy used to dry the vessel. Non-contact steam is recovered through separations of steam and water, with condensate steam pressure regenerated by mechanical vapor recompression and condensate water returned to the boiler / steam generator. Heat transfer to combustion air, by heat transfer via heat pump to generate additional steam, and / or by mechanical vapor recompression recovers the latent heat of loose contact steam condensate. The process design provides for in-vessel drying while reducing the energy cost of operating a waste autoclave, as compared to the current art.

The present invention is directed to suppress data loss caused by power shut-down during a rewriting process and to shorten time required to make a depletion check.A nonvolatile memory apparatus includes a rewritable nonvolatile memory and a card controller. The nonvolatile memory has a physical address area corresponding to a logical address and a save area. In response to a data rewrite instruction on a required logical address, the card controller stores data in a predetermined physical address area corresponding to the logical address to the save area and rewrites the data stored in the physical address area. When rewriting of the physical address area is incomplete, the card controller rewrites the data in the physical address area with the data stored in the save area. Thus, data loss caused by the power shut-down can be suppressed by data backup, and it is sufficient to make the depletion check in two places of the save area and the physical address area.

A method and apparatus for forming a sealing member includes forming a first sealing part to surround one portion of a display area, the display area including a pixel, and forming a second sealing part to surround a remaining portion of the display area and to intersect ends defining the second sealing part with corresponding ends defining the first sealing part. Thus, a time needed to form the first and second sealing member may be reduced, thereby reducing an entire process time to manufacture the display apparatus. Further, an area needed to form the sealing member may be reduced, thereby enhancing productivity of the display apparatus.
