  • Patent number: 11954096
    Abstract: A system and method are presented that utilize facet modifications to alter user input values to perform a facet search on a found set of data records. The facet modifications are associated with item records, such as by using type attributes. Facet modifications can be associated with query information that is utilized to create a query on a user interface. Input received from the query is then modified according to the facet modifier in order to create facet search parameters. The facet search parameters are used to perform a facet search to narrow the found set of item records. In some embodiments, facet modifications are stored in facet modifier records. Multiple facet modifications can be stored in a single facet modifier record. A single query input can be manipulated by multiple facet modifications to create separate facet search parameters.

  • Patent number: 8601997
    Abstract: An engine assembly includes a water pump assembly and an oil cooler mounted to the water pump assembly. The water pump assembly includes a rear housing which at least partially defines at least one water passage to fluidly connect the water pump assembly to the oil cooler. A surface is defined by the rear housing and corresponds to a sealing surface on the engine block such that the oil cooler and the water pump assembly are fluidly sealed to the engine block.
