Abstract: A dishwasher having a tub defining a treating chamber, a dish rack, and a spray assembly associated with the dish rack. The spray assembly may include at least one sprayer positioned to spray treating liquid onto dishes received by the rack. The sprayer has two openings and may be movable between a first position and a second position.

Abstract: A dishwasher having a tub defining a treating chamber, a dish rack, and a spray assembly associated with the dish rack. The spray assembly may include at least one sprayer positioned to spray treating liquid onto dishes received by the rack. The sprayer has two openings and may be movable between a first position where the treating liquid flows through the first liquid opening into the treating chamber and does not flow through the second liquid opening and a second position where the treating liquid flows through the second liquid opening into the treating chamber. The sprayer may be rotatable between positions and may emit spray in both positions.

Abstract: In a dishwasher having a washing chamber capable of accommodating kitchenware for washing, a detergent dispenser includes a housing defining a chamber for receiving detergent. A lid is pivotally connected to the housing for selectively pivoting between a closed position for sealing the detergent chamber and an open position which permits washing fluid to enter the detergent chamber in connection with dispensing of detergent. The detergent chamber is provided with at least one washout port enabling washing fluid to enter the chamber, even if the lid can only pivot through a limited range to a partial open position due to an obstruction. A raised shield guard, which is spaced from the lid, extends in front of the lid to ensure that a potentially obstructing object within the washing chamber does not prevent the lid from moving to at least the partial open position during a wash cycle.

Abstract: The present invention provides a process of prolonging organ allograft survival in an organism comprising down-regulating Th1 activity in the organism. The down-regulation of Th1 activity is accomplished either by infecting the organism with an effective Th2 up-regulating amount of a nematode or by administering to the organism an effective Th2 up-regulating amount of a soluble extract of a nematode. Exemplary and preferred nematodes for use in a process of the present invention are of the genus Nipostrongylus , Trichuris, Ascaris or Caenorhabditis. Most preferred is the nematode Nipostrongylus brasiliensis. A process of the present invention is particularly useful in prolonging kidney allograft survival.
