  • Publication number: 20190300534
    Abstract: Described herein are ?3 or ?2 or ?2/?3 GABAergic receptor subtype selective ligands, pharmaceutical compositions, and methods of use of such ligands and compositions in treatment of anxiety disorders, epilepsy and schizophrenia with reduced sedative and ataxic side effects. In embodiments, such as ?3 or ?2 or ?2/?3 GABAergic receptor subtype selective ligands lack ester linkages and may be thus relatively insensitive to hydrolysis by esterases.

  • Patent number: 10168812
    Abstract: This application describes, in part, system and methods for reducing unintentional performance of actions, such as orders, on a computing device. In some implementations, ordering may be controlled by identifying an input within an action region and determining that the input is an intentional input before completing an order. For example, to be considered an intentional input, the input may need to remain in an action region for a predetermined time duration, or may need to move across a majority of the action region.

  • Patent number: 10095609
    Abstract: A test device may include an application that accesses online content. In some examples, a test intermediary and/or a test user interface (UI) are downloaded to the test device in response to a request by the application for obtaining the content from a network location. The test intermediary may be positioned to receive communications between the application and the content during testing of the content and/or the application. For example, the test intermediary may intercept metrics and other callbacks passed between the content and the application during manual or automated testing. In some instances, the test intermediary may provide the metrics and/or other test outputs for display in the test user UI rendered on the test device. The content may be rendered to be functional within the test UI, and the existence of the test intermediary and/or the test UI may be transparent to the application and the content.

  • Patent number: 9317616
    Abstract: Some examples provide for content updates based on the state of content described at least partially in a markup language and caused to be displayed in a browser window. A web application causes the content to be displayed and tracks state changes of the content caused by user interactions with the displayed content. The web application causes the display of updates to the content that are received responsive to requests sent based on the user interactions. The web application can exclude from display those updates that are associated with an outdated state of the content.

  • Patent number: 9294538
    Abstract: Some examples provide for dynamic content injection into a web application. A request may be made by a browser extension operating in a web browser for a list of one or more files from a file server, the one or more files including content to be injected into a web page operated by the web application. Upon receiving a response, the content of the one or more files may be injected into the web page operated by the web application.
