Answer 1

Google OCR sometimes have problems, You are right actual patent has same spelling. Any ways 'Ask Patent' is not direct link to Google. you can use 'Send Feedback' of Google patents to report this error.

However To correct inventor name in patent, you can see MPEP 602.01(c)(2) Correcting or Updating Inventor Name 37 CFR 1.48(f) – Request Filed On or After September 16, 2012 [R-11.2013]

(f) Correcting or updating the name of an inventor: Any request to correct or update the name of the inventor or a joint inventor, or the order of the names of joint inventors, in a nonprovisional application must include: (1) An application data sheet in accordance with §1.76 that identifies each inventor by his or her legal name in the desired order; and (2) The processing fee set forth in §1.17(i).

................. and allows an applicant to adjust the order of the names of joint inventors (e.g., to control the order of names on a printed patent). 37 CFR 1.48(f) specifically provides that any request to correct or update the name of the inventor or a joint inventor, or the order of the names of joint inventors, in a nonprovisional application must include: (1) an application data sheet in accordance with 37 CFR 1.76 that identifies each inventor by his or her legal name in the desired order; and (2) the processing fee set forth in 37 CFR 1.17(i).
