A controller is configured to operate the drain pump assembly to drain the wash fluid, measure the movement of the wash tub using the measurement device, measure a water level within the sump using the water level detection system, and identify a fault condition in the water level detection system upon determining that the measured movement indicates that the sump is empty and the measured water level indicates that the sump is not empty.

Abstract: A dip tank and recycling system for applying antimicrobial solution to food items, including a dip tank having a bottom and sides, and holding a liquid antimicrobial solution. A conveyor to convey food items through the tank passes through the liquid antimicrobial solution held in the tank such that food items conveyed on the conveyor are dipped in the liquid antimicrobial solution. At least two discharge nozzles spray fresh antimicrobial solution into the tank. The discharge nozzles are located in the sides of the tank, and are positioned above the level of the conveyor but below an expected top level of the liquid antimicrobial solution contained within the tank such that food items conveyed on the conveyor are agitated by the force of the spray from the discharge nozzles. The spray from the discharge nozzles causes unstacking of items on the conveyor, producing an even application of the antimicrobial solution.

The locking mechanism removably engages the bolt at the lock-receiving feature to secure the spacer to the bolt.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a laundry treatment machine. A laundry treatment machine comprises: an inverter to convert the DC voltage from the converter into alternating current (AC) voltage by a switching operation and to output the converted AC voltage to a motor; and a controller that controls such that, while a washing tub motor is rotating at a constant speed, a drain motor operates in a first period during which the speed of the drain motor increases, a second period during which the speed of the drain motor decreases after the first period, and a third period during which the speed of the drain motor decreases after the second period, wherein a rising slope in the second period is less than a falling slope in the third period. Accordingly, a speed ripple of the drain motor may be reduced.

Abstract: A laundry appliance includes a cabinet, a tub, and a pump for recirculating wash fluid from the tub to a filter container. The filter container includes a fluid inlet in fluid communication with the pump and fluid outlet in fluid communication with the tub. The filter container also includes a filter housing for directing wash fluid from the fluid inlet to the fluid outlet. A self-clearing filter assembly is provided within the filter housing. The self-clearing filter includes side walls and a filter base having at least one inclined surface. The self-clearing filter is situated such that the inclined surface is below the fluid inlet. The self-clearing filter prevents microfibers and other debris from passing through to the outlet of the filter container. Simultaneously, the force of the wash fluid on the inclined surface forces the microfibers and other debris to a trough, where it can be collected and disposed of.

Abstract: A supercritical processing apparatus includes an upper vessel including a first fluid hole formed in a center thereof, and a lower vessel including a second fluid hole formed in a center thereof.
