The present invention relates to a dishwasher for washing fruits and vegetables with less water and minimum energy use. The dishwasher (M) comprises main body; first basket (S); bottom area (1) in which there are provided two-way valve (1a), first channel (1b) and second channel (1c); washing compartment (2) comprising third channel (2a), first water outlet (2b), second water outlet (2c) and drainage connection unit (2d); fruit and vegetable washing apparatus (F) located on the first basket (S) and comprising chamber (4) in which fruits and vegetables are washed, carrying member (2) providing connection to the first basket (S) and one side of which is connected with lower side of the chamber (4), first water inlet (7) through which water reaching the first water outlet (2b) is transmitted into the carrying member (2), second water inlet (8) transmitting water from the second water outlet (2c) into the chamber (4); and control unit which controls operation of the valve (1a) such that water is transmitted to the second channel (1c) for washing fruits and vegetables or to the first channel (1b) for washing dishes inside the dishwasher (M), in response to the user-selected washing program of the dishwasher (M).

The present invention provides a mesh filter having superior handling performance for liquid-solution lyophilizates. This mesh filter 130 has a mesh 131, and liquid-solution lyophilizates 132 affixed to the mesh.

A filter that includes: a filter base portion having a first main surface and a second main surface, the filter base portion defining a plurality of through-holes connecting the first main surface and the second main surface via an inner wall extending from the second main surface toward the first main surface; and a support portion that has a plurality of protruding portions located in respective through-holes of the plurality of through-holes and disposed on the second main surface of the filter base portion, the plurality of protruding portions having an outer wall in contact with the inner wall of the filter base portion, wherein a first opening on the first main surface side of the filter base portion is larger than a second opening on the second main surface side of the filter base portion, and there is a clearance between the filter base portion and the support portion.

An electric kettle includes: a body unit having a liquid container and a heating part; a lid unit configured to seal the liquid container via a sealing member; a spout; a liquid passage; an opening/closing valve; and a filter part. The liquid passage is configured such that an inside of the liquid container communicates with the spout via the lid unit. The opening/closing valve is configured to separate from the lid unit by being moved downward, thereby providing communication between the liquid container and the liquid passage, and to abut on the lid unit by being moved upward, thereby blocking the communication between the liquid container and the liquid passage. The filter part is provided in the liquid passage.

An immersion bioreactor device may include a vessel coupler, a first vessel, and a second vessel. The first vessel may include a first cavity and a first vessel aperture in fluid communication with the first cavity. The second vessel may include a second cavity and a second vessel aperture that may be in fluid communication with the second cavity. The vessel coupler may be configured to be removably coupled to the first and second vessels so that the first and second vessel apertures are in fluid communication with the vessel coupler. The vessel coupler may include a plate which may separate the vessel apertures from each other. One or more coupler apertures may be disposed in the plate, and the coupler apertures may enable fluid communication between the vessel apertures. Optionally, an adjustable vane disc may govern the fluid communication provided by the coupler apertures.

Adaptive buildings and building envelopes having a system of structural members which also function as one or more selectively independent fluidic transport systems. Fluids to be transported such as air, rainwater, potable water, irrigation water, and/or gray water, are moved about the adaptive buildings via the various fluidic transport systems to locations disposed about the adaptive buildings where they are used as needed. Such fluids are also selectively filtered and cleaned by a plurality of filter plate systems disposed about the structure.
