Abstract: A fluid flow structure for a washing machine is located within a wash tank of the washing machine, which includes a fluid flow guide surface, and a support for the guide surface. The guide surface includes at least one region contoured inconsistently from the contour of at least one corresponding wall of the washing machine wash tank. The contour of the guide surface is generally curved so as to aide in reducing and/or preventing the pinning of items that often occurs in rectangular wash tanks of the prior art. The support for the guide surface creates a gap between the guide surface and at least one wall of the washing machine wash tank.

The system further includes a first nozzle extending through the primary flow path and into the void such that a nozzle inlet of the first nozzle is positioned at least partially within the void. The system further includes a plurality of subsequent nozzles, each of the first and subsequent nozzles defining a respective secondary flow path for directing fluid away from the discharge manifold. The method includes utilizing obtrusion pairs to reduce or eliminate hydraulic skip.

Abstract: In various implementations, a supplemental system may be provided. The supplemental system may be coupled to business intelligence environment(s) to facilitate deployment, version control, testing, and/or other processes. In some implementations, the supplemental system may be communicably coupled to an external version control. The external version control may store one or more versions of components of the business intelligence environment(s) and the supplemental system may utilize the versions to perform one or more operations, such as, but not limited to, facilitating deployment, version controlling, and/or testing. In some implementations, the supplemental system may utilize information from a ticket manager in deployments of BI Artifact(s).

Abstract: A system and method for deglazing or defrosting items, for cleaning wares, and/or for thermalizing/rethermalizing food items. The system includes a tank for holding fluid and a wash pump for creating a rolling washing action within the wash tank. The method includes placing items into the fluid so that as the fluid rolls within the wash tank, the items become deglazed or defrosted. The system further includes a discharge manifold with a plurality of discharge jets, a flow balancer for equalizing flow to multiple sections of the tank, and a diffuser plate for equalizing flow within a section of the tank. The various components of the system can be removed for cleaning, inspection, and/or replacement. The discharge manifold is accessible for removal and is configured to be easily cleaned.

Abstract: A basket assembly is provided. The basket assembly includes a molded basket body having opposed side walls with minimal draft angles. The basket body defines a front opening for receiving fluid and items, an interior area of receiving and holding the items, and a plurality of perforations for allowing the fluid to escape the interior area while retaining the items within the interior area. The perforations are placed, oriented, sized, and configured to maximize fluid flow and item retention while the basket assembly is positioned in flowing fluid of a washing machine wash tank. Support pins retain the basket assembly at the top of the wash tank and handles extending therebetween facilitate removal of the basket assembly from the wash tank.

Abstract: The present invention provides a steamer system and method for efficiently steam cooking or heating food items and avoiding unnecessary usage stoppages or delays. The steamer system comprises an enclosed cooking space cavity, a water boiling apparatus for generating steam, a drain system, a power source, a processor, a display, and a graphical user interface accessible by a user via the display. The steamer system further comprises a series of water detection sensors positioned within the water boiling apparatus water reservoir at progressively higher points and electrically connected to the system processor. When a first water detection sensor is fouled, the system processor is configured to relinquish control to a second water detection sensor and initiate a shut down clock to allow limited continued use of the steamer before cleaning. If a third water detection sensor senses water at any time, the steamer system shuts down.
