Publication number: 20240101319Abstract: An example lid assembly can include a lid and a slider. The lid can include a wall defining a recess. The slider can be configured to slide in the recess and can be configured to move between a closed position where the slider covers an opening to aid in preventing spilling of contents of the container, and an opened position where the slider uncovers the opening such that the contents may be poured from the container. The slider can be configured to be removable from the lid and can be replaced back on the lid. Additionally, the slider can be formed from upper and lower sled elements 130,136 that are magnetically coupled to one another. In some examples, the lower sled of the slider may include an air vent with rounded entry portions, and the lid assembly may include engaging members with ramped surfaces.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 30, 2021Publication date: March 28, 2024Inventors: Cody Jinkins, Andy Bondhus, Mark Carlson Rane, Dustin Bullock, John Fritz, William Drinkwater, Matthew Bryson, Elizabeth Ruchte

Patent number: 8700494Abstract: A product catalog system includes a product catalog having product offers received from various merchants. The product catalog system includes an analysis module that determines, for each merchant that provides product offers, which product offers are for products that are likely to be variants of one another based in part on titles of the products and assigns sets of product offers that are likely to be variants a merchant cluster identifier. The analysis module groups the product offers into product catalog entries based on the particular product that the offers are for. The analysis module determines which products are variants based on associations between the product catalog entries and the merchant cluster identifiers of the product offers included in the product catalog entries.Type: GrantFiled: September 6, 2011Date of Patent: April 15, 2014Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: Andy Carlson, Liangying Wu, Timothy Stevenson

Patent number: 8700625Abstract: A product catalog system includes a product catalog having information regarding products for sale online by various merchants. The product catalog system transmits information regarding products in response to queries for a target product and also transmits information regarding products that serve as alternatives to the target product. The product catalog system includes a product alternatives module that identifies product alternatives based on information regarding a multitude of received queries and information regarding products that were selected from other products presented in response to the queries. The alternatives module computes an association weight for pairs of products that indicates the likelihood that the two products are alternatives. This association weight is based on the query and product information and further based on the number of times that the two products were the subject of a comparison query.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 2012Date of Patent: April 15, 2014Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: Robert Hall, Andy Carlson
