  • Patent number: 10710976
    Abstract: The disclosed subject matter provides certain polymorphic forms of Compound (I) as well as pharmaceutical compositions comprising Compound (I) or such polymorphic forms, and methods of using or making such compounds and pharmaceutical compositions. It has now been discovered that Compound (I) can exist in multiple crystalline forms (polymorphs). One particular crystalline form, Form II, has been found to be more thermodynamically stable and, thus, likely more suitable for bulk preparation and handling than other polymorphic forms. Efficient and economic methods have been developed to prepare Compound (I) and Form II in high purity on a large scale. In animal studies, Form II has demonstrated safety and efficacy in treating depressive disorders and, when micronized, improved absorption compared to non-micronized Form II.

  • Patent number: 10714008
    Abstract: A pixel circuit for a display device employs a two-capacitor configuration, in which during the emission phase, the first and second plates of the capacitors respectively are electrically connected to each other to provide more stability to the gate voltage of the drive transistor. The pixel circuit also is operable in a combined threshold compensation and data programming phase to compensate for variations in the characteristics of the drive transistor and the light-emitting device. During a portion of the combined threshold compensation and data programming phase the drive transistor becomes diode-connected such that the gate and the second terminal of the drive transistor are electrically connected, wherein a threshold voltage of the drive transistor is compensated while the drive transistor is diode-connected.

  • Patent number: 10713545
    Abstract: A web detection system processes webpage information and performs automated feature extraction of webpages including machine processable information. In an embodiment, the web detection system determines a subset of webpages having a target characteristic by processing markup language. For a webpage of the subset, the web detection system determines that a first image overlaps at least a portion of a second image in the webpage. The web detection system generates an image of the webpage such that the portion of the second image is obscured by the first image. The web detection system determines a graphical feature of the webpage by processing the image, e.g., using optical character recognition. Responsive to determining that the graphical feature corresponds to graphical features of images of a different set of webpages associated with a target entity, the web detection system determines that the webpage is also associated with the target entity.
