...Security Analysis Edwards Lifesciences Jesse Blair Security Analysis Edwards Lifesciences Jesse Blair 2014 2014 Industry Analysis Medical Appliances and Equipment For this security analysis project I have chosen to research the medical equipment industry that specializes in artificial heart valves and related health products. This industry helps in the repair of cardiovascular diseases and critical care monitoring. There are two different types of artificial heart valves. There is the Tissue heart valve which is commonly given to older patients and it has a lifespan from 10 to 15 years. It is safer for older adults because it has less chance for post operation bleeding which could be fatal. The second type of heart valve is mechanical heart valve which has a lifespan of a patient’s lifetime. This type of valve has a higher risk of bleeding and requires for a patient to take blood thinner medication for the remainder of their life. Top Competitors When it comes to competitors there are three main groups that are leading the way in artificial heart valves and medical equipment. These companies are Edwards Lifesciences, Medtronic, and St. Jude Medical. You can examine the total revenues of the top three competitors on chart 1.

...IV. Future trend The SDN network has been introduced a series of security checks, such as existing Intrusion Detection Systems and Intrusion Prevention Systems. As taking advantage of the decoupled data plane and control plane, the potential solution for the specific attack has been emerged and rapidly deployed. A.Virtual access point of edge For better security, we may want to transmit the cryptographic data through data plane. In order to separate the client device from encrypted data plane, one simple solution is to create a virtual access point that locates between the client device and the specific switch to encrypt and decrypt packets. The virtual access point, as an abstraction of software layer dynamically allocated by switches, can forward or drop the packet in both direction between the switch’s port and the client device. When the client tries to connect to the SDN network, the virtual access point will initially accept the data or request packets and forward them into the available port of switch. Then the switch will determine the action based on the flow table or forwarding the request to the controller. Once wanting to banned the client device or fail to find the client device, the controller only need to disable the related data path and terminate the virtual access point. If the client device want to send a vast of...

...IRobot Security Analysis Abstract This paper contains an analysis of the stock security iRobot (irbt) which has had several highs and several lows over the past few years due to the fluctuations in the US economy. The overall analysis dictates how the state of the economy can affect an individual stock price even though the company has had relative good growth in customer sales over the last five years. The overall analysis looks at the return on equity, future growth rate of earnings, required rate of return and the company’s intrinsic value. Graphs and/or tables will be used to support the overall findings of the security. Introduction Robotics is on the rise, the concept of creating machines that can operate autonomously has been a goal set by man since the beginning of time. iRobot (irbt) has taken on this concept and has truly made it a reality in our time. Quite simply “iRobot designs and builds robots that make a difference” (iRobot, 2013).

...Without access to long term care services, the individual is unable to receive respite care and the ability to explore their community. By denying SSI based on functionality level, the social security administration is actually causing more harm, considering the individuals that could benefit the most from these services are unable to obtain them. When these individuals are unable to attain these services, they are not developing their skills, thus becoming unemployable and withdrawn from the community. Given the resources provided to intellectually disabled young adults during school, it is difficult for parents and student to figure out what to do next when those services and professionals go away once the student “ages-out”.
