Abstract: A system and method for a vulnerability assessment mechanism that serves to actively scan for vulnerabilities on a continuous basis and interpret the resulting traffic in context of policy is provided. Vulnerability information is presented within an enterprise manager system enabling the user to access vulnerability information, recommended remediation procedures, and associated network traffic. A studio mechanism is used to add scanners to the appropriate policies and control the scope and distribution of scans within the target network.

Abstract: The present invention makes available methods and reagents for modulating proliferation or differentiation in a cell or tissue comprising contacting the cell with a hedgehog agonist, such as the compounds depicted in FIGS. 32 and 33. In certain embodiments, the methods and reagents may be employed to correct or inhibit an aberrant or unwanted growth state, e.g., by antagonizing a normal ptc pathway or agonizing smoothened or hedgehog activity.

Abstract: Apparatus for restraining the neck and/or head of a farm animal having a frame with a base, a top and opposed sides parts, which are spaced apart to allow at least the head of said animal to pass between these parts. Flexible belts extend between upper and lower locations connected to the frame and which are spaced respectively above and below the neck and head position of an animal to be treated, the belts having side portions connected to the frame sides by extensible means tending to hold these side portions apart. A fluid cylinder is attached to top ends of the belts so that when an animal has placed its head between the belt side portions these can be pulled inwardly against the side of an animal's neck or head to restrain movement of the animal.

Abstract: A stake pocket insert includes a stake receiver and a clamp element designed to engage the interior of a conventional vehicle cargo bed stake pocket. The stake receiver has a cover plate that can be used to anchor a bed liner. The clamp element includes a bracket that engages the interior of the stake pocket and a protruding bolt that can also provide a tie down anchor.
