Abstract: A pool skimmer basket is provided and includes a top member having an opening for receiving and capturing debris into the pool skimmer basket and a base member having a plurality of apertures. It also includes a collapsible basket portion couples between the top member and the base member and an emptying device operatively coupled between the base member and the top member. The pool skimmer basket is moveable between an extended and collapsed position in response to operation of the emptying device. It also includes a handle coupled to the emptying device and a locking device operatively coupled to the handle, wherein the locking device is moveable between and locked and an unlocked position. The pool skimmer basket is moveable into the collapsed position when the locking device is in the unlocked position and retained in the extended position when the locking device is moved into the locked position.

Abstract: A system and method to respond to intrusions detected on a network system including attached functions and a network infrastructure. The system includes means for receiving from an intrusion detection function information about intrusions, a directory service function for gathering and reporting at least the physical and logical addresses of devices of the network infrastructure associated with the detected intrusions, and a plurality of distributed enforcement devices of the network infrastructure for enforcing policies responsive to the detected intrusions. A policy decision function evaluates the reported detected intrusions and makes a determination whether one or more policy changes are required on the enforcement devices in response to a detected intrusion. A policy manager function configures the distributed enforcement devices with the responsive changed policy or policies.

Abstract: The present invention provides reagents and methods for identifying inhibitors of retrovirus protease activity. In particular embodiments, the retrovirus is HIV. Also provided are kits, nucleic acids and proteins for carrying out the methods of the invention.
