Abstract: A cleaner is provided for a filter of a dishwashing appliance. The filter cleaner rotates within the filter and uses nozzles to remove particulates on the filter surface. Energy from fluid flow caused by a pump is used to rotate the filter cleaner. The particulates removed from the filter are pumped away for disposal.

Abstract: The present subject matter provides a dishwashing appliance having a flow of air through an air passageway defined between an inner panel and an outer panel of the dishwasher appliance. The inner panel has a condensation surface for assisting in drying dishes in the dishwasher appliance. A dampening baffle causes at least one change of direction in the flow of air through the air flow passageway.

Abstract: An appliance is disclosed for improving the accuracy of turbidity measurements. In an exemplary embodiment, the appliance includes a turbidity sensor and at least one processing device in communication with the turbidity sensor. The at least one processing device is configured to conduct a measurement of turbidity with the turbidity sensor exposed to air instead of water so as to provide a reference output from the turbidity sensor exposed to air; measure a turbidity of a fluid in the appliance during operation of the appliance with the turbidity sensor exposed to the fluid so as to provide a measurement output from the turbidity sensor exposed to the fluid; determine a temperature of the fluid; and apply an offset to the measurement output in order to provide an adjusted output, the adjusted output compensating for the difference in output of the turbidity sensor in water instead of air and for the temperature of the fluid.

Abstract: In an active roll control system for a vehicle, anti-roll bars (26, 30) are provided with actuators (28, 32) which can provide a torque in the anti-roll bars to control vehicle body roll. Under certain cornering conditions when the vehicle is liable to over-steer, the pressure supply to the actuators is pulsed so that the front wheels of the vehicle tend to break away more easily, thereby reducing over-steer.
