Abstract: The present disclosure relates to identifying vehicles using wireless device identifiers. In accordance with aspects of the present disclosure, a system for identifying vehicles in a parking structure includes a camera configured to capture images of an area in the parking structure where the camera captures an image containing one or more vehicle(s), a detector configured to scan for wireless device identifiers in the area, and a processing system including an electronic storage. The processing system is configured to execute instructions to access the image containing the vehicle(s) in the area and access one or more wireless device identifier(s) scanned by the detector in the area, process the image containing the vehicle(s) to extract one or more license plate identifier(s) corresponding to the vehicle(s), and store in the electronic storage at least one record associating the license plate identifier(s) with the wireless device identifier(s).

Abstract: Apparatuses for controlling a humidity level within an enclosed volume storage device and methods for using same. The apparatus, in one embodiment, comprises a container having outer walls defining an inner volume, at least one of the outer walls, preferably an lid wall, having perforations therein. The apparatus further comprises a composition capable of adsorbing and desorbing water and contained in the inner volume of the container. The composition is hydrated to a hydration level less than about 0.13 mL water per gram of the composition. The methods include a step of hydrating the composition in an apparatus of the invention to a hydration level less than about 0.13 mL water per gram of composition.

Abstract: A dishwasher includes a pump assembly having a chopper blade and apertured plate arrangement which function to chop soil particles entrained in a flow of washing fluid. The chopper blade floats or axially slides relative to a drive member from a first position spaced from the apertured plate to a second position closer to the apertured plate in order to macerate the soil particles. The chopper blade is actually mounted to a hub member including a shaft portion that extends into and abuts an inner portion of an impeller to maintain a desired spacing between the chopper blade and the apertured plate, while transferring drive from the drive member to both the chopper blade and impeller.

Abstract: A dishwasher includes a frontal frame, a tub having a plurality of walls collectively define a washing chamber, and a door pivotally mounted to the frontal frame for sealing the washing chamber. During a washing operation, sound generated by operation of a mechanical pump escapes from below the dishwasher. To minimize sound from escaping and to provide a more enjoyable environment, a sound sealing system is mounted at a bottom portion of the dishwasher door. The sound seal system includes a sound tray that extends across the frontal frame below a bottom edge portion of the door. The sound tray can be directly, pivotally attached to the door, or an additional flexible seal is employed to span and seal a gap between the sound tray and the bottom portion of the door.

Abstract: Rack guides are provided for the rear corners of a dishwasher rack to minimize or eliminate lateral movement of the rack as the rack moves into and out of a dishwasher. In one embodiment, each guide includes a member with a base mounted on the rack and a surface to engage the inner sidewall of the dishwasher tub. Legs are provided on the base to stabilize the rack guide. In an alternative embodiment, the guide includes a wheel rolling along the inner sidewall of the dishwasher tub.
