  • Patent number: 8214235
    Abstract: A method of enterprise risk management includes defining a hierarchical organizational model to represent an enterprise. The model has a master level and one or more levels subordinate to the master level. The master level has plural materiality grades and plural probability grades, each subordinate level including one or more entities have a reporting relationship to one of the entities in the preceding level, each entity having plural materiality grades. Risk information is collected which includes risk items, each associated with a particular entity in the hierarchical organizational model and having a materiality measure and a probability measure. Selected portions of the collected risk information is output in an output view that for each selected risk item relates the probability measure to the plural probability grades and the materiality measure to either the plural master level materiality grades or the plural entity level materiality grades depending on a selected level.

  • Patent number: 4950383
    Abstract: A process for hydrocracking a hydrocracking feedstock with hydrogen at hydrocracking conversion conditions which comprises contacting the feedstock with a first catalyst comprising a nickel component, a molybdenum component and a phosphorus component deposited on a support component consisting essentially of a refractory metal oxide, and a second catalyst comprising a cobalt component, a chromium component and a molybdenum component deposited on a support component consisting essentially of a refractory metal oxide component and a molecular sieve component.This process is particularly suitable for the hydrocracking of shale oil feedstocks which typically have high nitrogen contents, i.e., total nitrogen at least about 0.2 wt %.
