Abstract: Methods and systems described in this disclosure describe an integration of video sessions across platforms, transforming the user experience. In some embodiments, a user can participate in an interaction via a channel. Next, the system can determine whether the interaction is eligible for a video session with a representative. When the interaction is eligible for the video session, an option for the video session can be displayed on a user interface of the device. After receiving a request for the video session, the video session can be routed to a uniquely skilled representative, where the uniquely skilled representative is determined based, at least in part, on the interaction.

Abstract: Methods and systems described in this disclosure receive a request for assistance from a device associated with a user, launch a conversational virtual assistant on the device, determine at least one potential subject of the request based on information associated with the user and a tab or webpage from which the conversational virtual assistant is launched, receive a verification of the subject of the request, create a contact menu with options for receiving the assistance, and receive a selection of one of the options.

Abstract: A desolventizer for processing solvent-wet solid material may include a thermal recirculation loop to increase thermal performance. In some examples, the desolventizer includes a housing, an ejector, and a vent. The housing contains a first tray and a second tray vertically elevated above the first tray to define a processing space. The ejector has an inlet located between the first tray and the second tray and an outlet also located between the first tray and the second tray. The vent has an inlet located between the first tray and the second tray. In operation, the ejector can draw gas from the processing space via the inlet and discharge the gas through the outlet back into the processing space, creating a recirculation loop.

Abstract: A method for predicting risk of recurrence of cancer in an individual with cancer, the method comprising a step of assaying a cancer sample from the individual for positive expression of at least two genes or proteins encoded by those genes selected from the group consisting of FOXM1, UHRF1, PTTG1, E2F1, MYBL2, HMGB2, ATAD2, E2F8, ZNF367 and TCF19, wherein positive expression of the at least two genes correlates with increased risk of recurrence of cancer compared with an individual who does not exhibit positive expression of the at least two genes or proteins encoded by those genes.
