Abstract: A method for generating an employee benefit plan. The process collects employment data about employees of a plurality of business entities. The employment data comprises a number of dimensions of data collected from a number of sources. The process identifies a number of plan benefits for benefit plan for each of the business entities. The process determines metrics for the plan benefits during a given time interval. The process simultaneously models the plan benefits and the metrics for plan benefits to identify correlations among the dimensions of data and generalize rules for competitive benefit prediction. According to the modeling, the process predicts a number of competitive benefits for an employee benefit plan of a particular business entity based on the employment data of the particular business entity. The process generates the employee benefit plan for the particular business entity based on the number of competitive benefits.

Abstract: Systems and methods for method for resolving Bluetooth device identity regardless of changes in MAC (Media Access Control) addresses are disclosed. For example, a processing system is disclosed that can establish a set of recognized Bluetooth devices based on a first set of data, receive a second set of data measured during a second time period subsequent to the first time period, and in an instance in which a particular UIADD from the second set of data is not found in the first set of data, determine whether a candidate Bluetooth device that transmitted the particular UIADD is a specific recognized Bluetooth device of the set of recognized Bluetooth devices established based on the first set of data.

Abstract: Generating employee retention insights is provided. An analysis is performed, using an artificial intelligence component, of data in a completed digital off-boarding form corresponding to a particular employer and a type of a particular employee leaving the particular employer and information in data feeds from a plurality of different data sources. Insights are generated, using the artificial intelligence component, into employee retention for the type of the particular employee corresponding to the particular employer based on the analysis of the data in the completed digital off-boarding form and the information in the data feeds from the plurality of different data sources. A set of action steps are generated, using the artificial intelligence component, based on the insights and the data in the completed digital off-boarding form. One or more of the set of action steps are performed automatically.

Abstract: A system for sealing the legs of two stages of cyclones in series used in fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) processes, comprising a terminal leg configuration, which is devoid of moving parts and makes use of a long-radius curve, and which changes the flow direction of the descending mass flow of catalyst in dense phase into a plane orthogonal to the ascending gaseous flow. This prevents the entry of gaseous phase inside the leg, and promotes efficient sealing and preventing the “packing-down” of the dense bed of particulates.

Abstract: An improved cyclone system for disengaging solid and gaseous particles in fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) processes with reduced coke formation in disengager vessels, without favoring release of the disengaged catalyst into cyclones in subsequent stages, said system comprising legless cyclones 42 fitted with external collector pipes 43, is described. The collector pipes 43 optimize the purge of gases coming from the disengager vessel 49, reducing the time the hydrocarbons remain inside the disengager vessel 49, thus preventing overcracking and subsequent coke formation. Positioning of the external collector pipes 43 prevents release of the disengaged catalyst into cyclones in subsequent stages.

Abstract: A distributor (9) for the equalization of flow rate of cyclones in closed cyclone systems installed in the interconnection of the cyclones of the disengager vessel of the gas-solid suspension of the fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) processes is described, that distributes the gases exiting the first stage cyclones so as to promote a desirable and uniform flow rate of said gases through said space, besides absorbing the relative movements between the cyclones caused by the differential thermal expansion. The distributor of the invention secures a homogeneous accommodation of the gas-solid suspension in a connecting pipe, allowing a uniform cyclone operation in the next stage, no matter the geometry of the riser-cyclone set or of the downer-cyclone set.
