Patent number: 8126882Abstract: Methods, computer program products and systems are described for obtaining at a first computer an online content item authored by an author for public online display. A credibility factor is determined for the author in association with the online content item. The credibility factor is based on information about the author to be true. In response to a query for online content, wherein the online content item is included in a set of search results, the ranking of the online content item in the set is determined in a second computer based at least in part on the credibility factor of the author. The first computer and the second computer can be the same or different computers.Type: GrantFiled: December 11, 2008Date of Patent: February 28, 2012Assignee: Google Inc.Inventor: Justin Lawyer

Publication number: 20120045352Abstract: Provided is a fluid pump assembly. The pump has a pair of housings magnetically coupled to each other. The first housing contains a drive motor and a magnetic assembly. The second housing contains a magnetic assembly and a blade for imparting movement to a fluid. As the first magnetic assembly is rotated by the drive motor, the magnetic connection to the assembly in the second housing causes the second magnet to rotate, driving the blade.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 23, 2011Publication date: February 23, 2012Inventors: Justin Lawyer, Patrick Clasen, Timothy Marks
