A dish assembly includes a pair of folding panels and a support platform. A bottom of the pair of folding panels are retained in the support platform. Each pair of folding panels includes a first vertical member and a second vertical member. At least one slot opening is formed in each vertical member. At least one slot opening is formed in the first and second vertical member. Each slot opening has an upper curved surface and a stability straight lower surface. The upper curved surface has at least a portion of which is a segment of an arc. The upper curved surface is located opposite the substantially straight lower surface. The upper curved surface having a height from a top end therefore to the substantially straight lower surface.

A dishwasher is provided that includes a carrier structure adapted to be mounted on the wire rack thereof for carrying wine glasses and the like. More particularly, the dishwasher includes a washing process chamber to place various kitchenware and cooking equipment to be washed and a spraying system spraying water to effect washing. The dishwasher further comprises a dishwasher rack in the form of a wireframe structure located in the washing process chamber.

A tiered fajita server, intended for use on a restaurant table, comprised of a center stack support and a plurality of serving dishes. The center stack support has a plurality of mounting cylinders, equal in number the plurality of serving dishes. Each serving dish has a mounting hole allowing it to be removably mounted on the center stack support at one, and only one mounting cylinder. quick-release mount intended for use with a rail-type fishing-rod-holder system. The center stack support is constructed from interspersed frusto-conicals and mounting cylinders. Each serving dish has a perimeter, a mounting hole, a top surface, a side surface, and a concave metal dish. The concave metal dish can be removed to ease service and cleaning.

An adjustable dish caddy comprising a plurality of partitions that are removably coupled to a base. The relative position of each partition within the caddy is adjusted by the user rotating a cam lever disposed in the top portion of each partition. Rotating the cam lever in turn pushes a cam shaft downwards through the partition which moves a spacer away from and off of the bottom surface of the base. With the spacer moved off of the bottom surface of the base, the user then moves or slides the partition to a new desired position along a pathway it is disposed in. The cam lever is then rotated back downward against the partition which reestablishes contact between the base and the partition, thereby locking the partition into its new position.

Methods for processing semiconductor wafers, methods for loading semiconductor wafers into wafer carriers, and semiconductor wafer carriers. The methods and wafer carriers can be used for increasing the rigidity of wafers, e.g., large and thin wafers, by intentionally bowing the wafers to an extent that does not break the wafers. In some examples, a method for processing semiconductor wafers includes loading each semiconductor wafer into a respective semiconductor wafer slot of a semiconductor wafer carrier, horizontally bowing each semiconductor wafer, and moving the semiconductor wafer carrier into a processing station and processing the semiconductor wafers at the processing station while the semiconductor wafers are loaded into the semiconductor wafer carrier and horizontally bowed.
