Abstract: A commercial dishwashing system has an elongated table structure extending through a dishwasher, the table structure having a longitudinal gap therein and a top side forming a portion of a closed conveyance path. A roller gate is pivotable between a lowered position in which the gate blocks an upper portion of the gap and defines the balance of the closed conveyance path, and a raised position in which the gate unblocks the upper gap portion. A drivable chain, having vertically pivotable links, is used to releasably engage and longitudinally move wash racks around the top side of the table structure. The bottom side of a downwardly extending loop of the chain horizontally extends across the gap at a step-over height. With the gate lifted a worker may access the horizontally inner side of the dishwasher simply by stepping over the bottom chain loop side and walking inwardly through the gap.

Abstract: An insulated platter is disclosed herein. The insulated platter has a depression for receiving a heated pan in an upper surface thereof. In one embodiment, platter includes one or more ridges formed around the depression that extend upwardly above the edges of the heated pan to prevent contact with the pan. The platter also has an insulating layer applied to a lower surface thereof to limit heat transfer from the heated pan to a surface on which the platter rests.

Abstract: The present application includes a system for the preparation of a patient for the implantation of post-operatively adjustable coaptation device. For example, the present subject matter includes a tool having a proximal portion and a distal portion, and an elongate section disposed between the proximal portion and the distal portion. The tool additionally includes jaws hinged at a first joint, the first joint located at the distal portion of the tool, the jaws adapted to vary between an open state and a closed state, the closed state defining a blunt tip. Also, the tool includes a handle located at the proximal portion of the tool. The handle and the jaws are connected so that motion of the handle moves the jaws from the closed state to the open state.
