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.

Abstract: A portable insulated grill has a housing and a lid, both of which have inner and outer shells of metal with a plenum therebetween filled with an insulating material such as fiberglass. A hinge couples the lid to the housing, and a tube is attached on the bottom of the housing. The grill can be carried on a carrier or on a vehicle. The carrier has a support surface, wheels, and a leg. A bar connected to the support surface extends toward an open side. This bar can removably position in the tube on the bottom of the housing so the support surface can support the grill. As an alternative, the grill's tube can mount on a drawbar attached to a hitch on a vehicle. Inside the grill, the housing has brackets that support a firebox on a first shelf and that support a main grate either on the first shelf or on a second shelf. The main grate has cutaways and can be locked in position by the brackets when positioned on the second shelf.

Abstract: A system for monitoring and managing electric power consumption at a customer location includes a plurality of devices located at various points on a mains distribution network at the customer location, each of the devices being programmed to monitor electric power consumption, and a central processing device located at the customer location, the central processing device being programmed to receive the electric power consumption information from the devices, analyze the electric power consumption information, and manage future electric power consumption based on the electric power consumption information.
