  • Publication number: 20240160670
    Abstract: An apparatus may receive, through a user interface, an indication for one or more filters that provide at least one of user-specific search results or organization-specific search results in response to a search query. The one or more filters may be applied to an initial set of data associated with execution of the search query. The apparatus may receive, through the user interface, user input for the execution of the search query and for generation of the initial set of data. The apparatus may filter the initial set of data using the one or more filters indicated via the user interface and output, in response to the execution of the search query, the at least one of the user-specific search results or the organization-specific search results filtered based on the one or more filters.

  • Patent number: 11242852
    Abstract: An automobile vehicle variable displacement pump includes a pump body having a pump shaft extending through the pump body. A rotor is connected to the pump shaft and co-rotates with the pump shaft. The rotor has multiple radially outwardly directed slots. A vane support ring supports multiple vanes, the vanes individually slidably received in one of the slots of the rotor. A slide is rotatably connected to the pump body having the rotor and the vane support ring positioned within an inner wall of the slide. A bow spring plate defining a biasing member directly contacts the slide to bias the slide to rotate about an arc of curvature.
