| 20100051067 | ASSISTED-MOVEMENT SYSTEM FOR ONE OF A RACK AND A DOOR OF AN APPLIANCE - An assisted-movement system is provided for an appliance, such as a dishwasher including a tub portion defining a forward opening, a door pivotally engaged therewith for selectively engaging the forward opening, and a rack movable into and out of the tub portion through the forward opening. A biasing device is operably engaged between the tub portion and one of the door, via a hinge mechanism, and the rack. The biasing device is extendable between contracted and extended positions. A position control device is operably engaged between the tub portion and one of the door, the rack, and the biasing device, and is configured to cooperate with the one of the door, the rack, and the biasing device to at least one of maintain the door in a closed position and maintain the rack within the tub portion, with the biasing device in the contracted position. Associated dishwashers are also provided. | 03-04-2010 |
| 20100170541 | SAFETY ARRANGEMENT FOR A DISHWASHER, AND ASSOCIATED APPARATUS - A safety arrangement for a dishwashing appliance and an associated apparatus are provided. The dishwashing appliance has a door covering a forward access opening of a tub in a closed position. A sump assembly about a lower end of the tub receives washing fluid therein, and a lower spray arm is rotatable about an axis about the lower end. The lower spray arm is configured to spray washing fluid from the sump assembly toward the tub. A control device actuates the lower spray arm to spray the washing fluid. A detection device interacts with the lower spray arm, and directs the control device to prevent actuation of the lower spray arm in response to the detection device detecting an abnormal displacement of the lower spray arm and/or a force applied to the lower spray arm, both with respect to the axis, with the door in the closed position. | 07-08-2010 |

| 20090032070 | Single-chamber apparatus for precision cleaning and drying of flat objects - A single-chamber type cleaning-drying apparatus for flat objects, such as semiconductor wafers, wherein cleaning is carried out by impinging both sides of the wafer, which rotates at a relatively low speed, with jets of a washing liquid and wherein subsequent drying is carried out in the same chamber by increasing the rotation speed of the wafer and supplying isopropyl-alcohol (IPA) mist onto the wafer from the top of the chamber. After the IPA forms a solution with the residue of water on the wafer, the drying process is accelerated by supplying gaseous nitrogen through nozzles arranged on both sides of the wafer he coaxially with the wafer center. As a result, the IPA-water solution quickly evaporates without leaving traces of water drops on the dried surface. | 02-05-2009 |
