Abstract: A dishwashing machine includes a sump chamber, a porous sheet enclosing a hollow interior, and a scraper in contact with the porous sheet. A portion of the sheet extends into the sump chamber. The sheet is operable to rotate about an imaginary axis.

Abstract: Described is a case for enclosing a personal electronic device including a first layer co-molded with a second layer and permanently affixed together to form a one-piece assembly; and a reinforcing member. The first layer includes a bottom surface, side surfaces joined to the bottom surface and extending upward therefrom, and a fitted cavity configured to accept and retain the personal electronic device such that the bottom surface covers at least a portion of a bottom surface of the inserted personal electronic device and the side surfaces cover at least a portion of a side surface of the inserted personal electronic device. The second layer includes a bottom surface and side surfaces sized and shaped to cover an exterior of the bottom and side surfaces of the first layer. The reinforcing member is configured to strengthen areas of the second layer.

Abstract: An automatic dishwasher has a rotatable spray arm and at least one rotatable sprayer, a drive link coupling the rotation of the rotatable spray arm and the at least one rotatable sprayer, and a drive for directly driving at least one of the rotatable spray arm and the at least one rotatable sprayer.

Abstract: A dishwasher includes a steam-generating vessel positioned in the wash chamber of the dishwasher's tub. A heating element heats water contained in the vessel to generate steam. The heating element may be embodied as thick-film heating element. The steam-generating vessel may be formed in the dishwasher's tub or embodied as a separate component that is secured to the tub.

Abstract: The invention relates to a dishwasher comprising a tub in which utensils and the like are received for cleaning by the spraying of liquid, such as a wash liquid, within the tub, with a sequester located within the tub to sequester the particles removed from the utensils by the liquid and that remain in the tub near a drain outlet.

Abstract: An automatic dishwasher having a tub defining a wash chamber for receiving utensils to be washed, a first rack located within the wash chamber, a second rack located within the wash chamber above the first rack, a rotatable spray arm associated with the second rack, a liquid recirculation system for selectively supplying liquid to the rotatable spray arm, and a drive system for driving the rotatable spray arm.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an ice dispenser apparatus having an ice storage bin removably mounted to the refrigerator for receiving and storing ice pieces from an ice maker, a metering device for separating individual ice pieces, and a sensing device for detecting the presence of ice pieces. Actuation of a motor causes the metering device to separate individual ice pieces and the sensing device detects ice pieces before, after, or during dispensing.
