  • Publication number: 20240130603
    Abstract: A dish rack for cleaning reusable plastic dishware can include a bottom support wall, a sidewall defining an outer frame, and a cover positionable over the bottom support wall. In some examples, the dish rack includes spaced-apart prongs extending upwardly from the bottom support wall. In use, an operator can load reusable plastic dishware on or between the prongs of the dish rack and close the cover. This can enclose the reusable plastic in a space bounded between the bottom support wall, the sidewall defining the frame, and the cover. Once loaded, the operator can insert the dishrack into the dishwasher to clean the reusable plastic dishware while retained in the dish rack. The dish rack can allow the reusable plastic dishware to be properly cleaned while minimizing or eliminating problems associated with the comparatively light reusable plastic dishware moving in response to high pressure water within the dishwasher.

  • Patent number: 10628228
    Abstract: Systems for processing requests to use virtual computing resources in communicatively isolated computing environments apply a multi-tier framework for limiting the amount of virtual computing resources that can be allocated to a user in a computing environment. A bottom tier is associated with a user account that has not been analyzed for security risks, a top tier is associated with a user account that has been validated to use a corresponding computing environment; an intermediate tier, having limits between the bottom and top tiers, is applied to computing environments where the user has not requested resources. Initially, all computing environments are on the bottom tier. In response to a valid request for resources, validated computing environments are moved to the top tier and all other computing environments are moved to the intermediate tier. Requests in an intermediate-tier computing environment trigger validity review; the computing environment can move to top tier.
