摘要:
A transmurality evaluation apparatus or probe, method for manufacturing a transmurality evaluation apparatus of probe, and method for assessing the transmurality of a lesion. In one aspect, the transmurality evaluation apparatus or probe generally includes a handheld elongate housing (30), wiring (20) having a first end and a second end, at least one tissue contact (26) electrically coupled to the wiring first end, and a terminal connector (28) electrically coupled to the wiring second end. In another aspect, the method for assessing the transmurality of a lesion generally includes establishing a first electrogram of the first region of tissue, ablating a second region of tissue to form an ablated lesion, establishing a second electrogram of the first region of tissue, and comparing the first and second electrograms to assess transmurality of the ablated lesion.
摘要:
A system and method are described for using a Component Business Model (CBM) to transform a business. A CBM map is used to identify components that collaborate to provide a specified capability, and a repository supporting the CBM map is filtered to provide a view of the identified components that highlights how they collaborate. The view is used to identify component features contributing to the specified capability. The specified capability is then enhanced by a transformation strategy that includes re-engineering particular components, identifying a pattern characterizing the collaboration between components and adding a component to perform the collaborative pattern, and/or adding an additional feature to the collaboration and adding component to perform the additional feature. The CBM repository provides exemplar best practices that can be adapted for use in a re-engineered component.

A method and system are described for using the structure and relationships between components in a component business model of an enterprise to assign components providing monitoring data to a management component. In response to the monitoring data, the management component executes a business rule invoking a service that alters a behavior of the enterprise. The management component contains data rules limiting the information provided by the assigned components, analysis rules defining the interaction between components, and report rules for consolidating recommendations for altering behavior of the enterprise, including decisions to invest in certain aspects of the business, to reengineer certain processes of the business, and to alter operation of certain aspects of the business.
摘要:
A method of combining businesses by creating a target component map based on the business strategy of the resulting company, and using that target map to generate a component map for each constituent company in the combination. The constituent component map describes the current state of each component instantiated in the constituent company. Where there is no overlap between constituent companies with respect to components in the target map, those component instantiations are carried over to the resulting company. Where there is overlap, a comparative analysis is done and a ‘best fit’ component is recommended for inclusion in the resulting company. A transformation plan is developed to build the resulting company from those component instances selected for inclusion, in accordance with the target component map. Where the business strategy for building the resulting company includes a divestiture, the transformation plan provides alignment of the components to be divested in order to optimize the divestiture.
摘要:
A system and method is described for using a component business model to partition a business into non-overlapping components, and then allocating different components to appropriate organizing strategies, based on attribute values assigned to each component. In the best mode of implementation there are two attributes: whether or not the component differentiates the business within the market place; and whether the component is industry standard or is tailored by the organization. These attributes and their values map the components of the business to a matrix. Based on the combination of attribute values in each cell of the matrix, available organizing strategies are also mapped to the matrix, thereby identifying for each component an appropriate organizing strategy.
