Abstract: A quick release pool skimmer basket apparatus includes a tapered attachment apparatus, a basket having a sidewall, a filter element coupled to the sidewall to move between an open position and a closed position, and a handle extending upwardly from the basket. A trigger in the handle is operatively coupled to the filter element to hold the filter element in the closed position. Activation of the trigger releases the bottom from the closed position to the open position.

Abstract: A manifold for collecting a tissue sample with a medical waste collection assembly. A base portion of a housing is removably engaged with a manifold receiver to provide a suction path from an inlet fitting receiving a suction line. A tray may be removably positioned within an accessory sleeve. Locating features facilitate defining a gap between a base portion of the tray and a lower barrier of the accessory sleeve. The tray may include a control surface to move the manifold between a sealing configuration, and a bleed configuration in which a second suction path is provided through the gap and below the tray. A backflow prevention valve may be disposed within the suction path between the tray and a filter element. Methods for collecting the tissue sample are also disclosed.

Abstract: An air purifying system may include at least three air cleaners or purifiers capable of independently operating and a docking station to support the at least three air purifiers. Since the air purifiers may be separated or stacked together on the docking station, the air purifying system may be operated in various states desired by a user.

Abstract: A pool skimmer device includes float harness that is attached to a cylindrical shaped device, which includes a self-adjusting funnel positioned at the distal end of the extension body, the funnel having a wide opening positioned at the distal end of the extension body and a narrow opening, and a funnel profile extending between the wide opening and the narrow opening, a coarse skimmer basket, a ballast collar and an outlet to the pool's filtration system, in which the outlet can be replaced with a submersible water pump and filter.
