Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes retrieving comments associated with a content object, determining one or more labels for each of the comments, where the labels for each comment are determined by a text classifier based on content associated with the comment, determining a score for each of the comments, where the score is based on one or more signals associated with the comment, and the signals are related to the labels associated with the comment. The method further includes ordering the comments based on the respective scores and presenting one or more of the ordered comments to a target user. A classifier algorithm may be applied to each comment to determine the one or more labels, where the classifier algorithm is trained to identify the one or more labels. Each signal may have a value based on a degree to which the label applies to the comment.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes retrieving a plurality of comments associated with a content object, determining a score for each of the comments, where the score is based on one or more signals associated with the comment, and where the score is further based on a qualitative analysis of each of one or more impressions related to the comment, and wherein each of the impressions comprises an interaction by a historical user with the comment, ordering the comments based on the respective scores, presenting one or more of the ordered comments to a target user. The qualitative analysis may determine a category of interaction for the impression, the score may be based at least in part on the category of interaction, and the category of interaction may include user input related to the comment, such as a reply to the comment.

Abstract: A power transmitter is provided that can include a microwave cavity resonant at a desired operating frequency, a hexagonal mesh top to leak evanescent fields out of the cavity, and a plurality of orthogonal monopole feeds with 90 degrees phase differences creating circularly polarized waves. The power transmitter can be configured to transmit energy to a wireless device implanted in an animal passing through the evanescent fields. Implantable devices are also described which can receive wireless energy from the power transmitter and stimulate the animals (e.g., optogenetic or electrical stimulation).

Abstract: A first set of posts associated with a verified entity can be identified. A second set of posts associated with the verified entity and with one or more particular topics can be identified. At least a first subset of the first set of posts and at least a second subset of the second set of posts can be ranked to produce a ranked set of posts that are associated, at least in part, with the verified entity. The verified entity can be provided with access to at least some posts in the ranked set of posts. Moreover, a canonical post authored by a verified entity can be identified. It can be determined that one or more subsequent posts have at least a specified threshold level of relevance with respect to the canonical post. The verified entity can be provided with access to the one or more subsequent posts.

Abstract: A sustained release formulation of lamotrigine or a pharmaceutically acceptable derivative thereof and methods of treatment and uses thereof.

Abstract: An apparatus and method are provided for analyzing the release of active agent(s) from pharmaceutical and pharmaceutical-like products. The apparatus and method provide for more accurate simulation of the conditions in the GI tract. A sinker is utilized to hold the dosage form so that substantially all of the surfaces of the dosage form are equally agitated by the dissolution medium.
