Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer-readable medium aspects for improving the accuracy of an ablation model through synchronization. An aspect operates by activating a catheter energy source, acquiring a catheter energy signal from the catheter energy source, assigning an activation time stamp and deactivation time stamp to the catheter energy signal, and determining a time of ablation based on a time period between the activation time stamp and deactivation time stamp. The aspect continues to operate by acquiring an optical measurement signal from a catheter optical port, assigning an input time stamp and switching time stamp to the optical measurement signal, and processing the optical measurement signal in order to acquire a denaturation result. The aspect concludes by synchronizing the time of ablation and the denaturation result using the time stamps in order to generate a synchronized model and generating an estimated lesion depth from the synchronized model.

Abstract: Techniques to facilitate protection of data resources from unauthorized access are disclosed herein. In at least one implementation, a data shield server instructs a user to replace an address and a port associated with a data resource with an updated address associated with the data shield server and a unique port that is uniquely assigned to the user. A request from the user to access the data resource is received at the updated address associated with the data shield server and on the unique port that is uniquely assigned to the user. In response to the request, the user is authenticated using multi-factor authentication to verify that an identity of the user that submitted the request matches the user assigned to the unique port on which the request was received. Upon successful authentication, the data shield server operates as a proxy to connect the user through to the data resource.

The aspect concludes by displaying the first graphical representation and the second graphical representation on a user interface at a predefined interval.

Abstract: A storage medium for managing a supply chain is provided. The storage medium includes instructions for implementing a method. The method includes transmitting a bid request from a bill of material (BOM) file to a web site and receiving a response from a supplier, resulting in an award notice. The method also includes identifying component prices incurred by the supplier that manufactures products using the components, comparing the prices with those available to the manufacturer from a component supplier. For components in which the supplier incurs a price greater than that available to the manufacturer, the method includes requesting authorization for the supplier to purchase a quantity of the component from the component supplier at the purchase price available to the manufacturer. Upon approval, the method includes transmitting an authorization to the supplier to purchase the component directly from the component supplier. The authorization includes guidelines for the contract manufacturer to follow.
