motor vehicle wheels (R) and the like, with a rotating shaft
(1) which has a horizontal axis and with a wheel bracket
mounting which is rigidly coupled to the free end of the
rotating shaft (1), which comprises a cup-shaped flange (2)
inside which a frustum-shaped body (12) is mounted so that
it can slide freely on the end of the shaft (1); the
frustum-shaped body (12) is pushed towards the flange (2) by
at least one preloaded spring (3) and is meant to be
inserted in the central hole of the wheel (R); an annular
plate (6) is anchored to the peripheral rim (2a) of the
flange (2) and is provided with equidistant holes (8, 8a,
8b) arranged in a circle (17) which is coaxial to the shaft
(1); flat elements shaped like rotating linkages (9, 9a, 9b)
are pivoted in the holes (8, 8a, 8b) and each linkage
supports a post (14) which has a threaded free end; the
posts (14) allow the bracket-like mounting of the wheel (R)
on the flange (2) and the simultaneous forcing of the
frustum-shaped body (12) in the central hole of the wheel
(R); a disk-like ring (10) is associated with the annular
plate (6) that supports the linkages (9, 9a, 9b), is coaxial
to the shaft (1) and can rotate freely with respect to the
annular plate (6); equidistant radial slots (19) are formed
in the disk-like ring (10) and are equal in number to the
linkages (9, 9a, 9b); a pin (11) is engaged in each one of 
the slots (19) and protrudes from each linkage (9, 9a, 9b)

Abstract: A freezing mould bag (10) comprises two sheets (12, 14) which are joined
together in substantially overlapping relationship along the periphery of the
sheets, defining a plurality of mould compartments (24) within the interior of the
freezing mould bag. An inlet channel defined by joints (28, 30, 32) extends from
the mould compartments (24) to an inlet opening (26). Two closure valve flaps
(16, 18) are connected to the sheets (12, 14) at the inlet opening (26) and extend
from the inlet opening within the inlet channel. The inlet channel comprises a
first and a second segment, which first segment is of a configuration tapering
from the inlet opening (26) towards the mould compartments, and which second
segment has dimensions so as to to no substantial extent hinder liquid or water
from flowing through the second segment. At the transition between the first and
the second segment of the inlet channel, a constriction is defined, serving the
purpose of generating a venturi effect for generating a relative pressure drop
within the constriction for closing the inlet channel at the constriction as liquid
or water is flowing from the second segment of the inlet channel through the
constriction towards the first segment.

Abstract: A chain and sprocket system includes a
plurality of chains (26,28) and sprockets (22,24). The system includes a
central shaft (30), two chains (26,28), and two identical sprockets (22,24).
Although the two sprockets have identical size, shape,
and features, they can be assembled onto the central
shaft in different orientations. These orientations are
achieved by rotating one sprocket with respect to the
other. Assembling one sprocket onto the shaft in a
different orientation from a second sprocket results in a
system where the outer sprocket teeth (36) of one sprocket are
phased with respect to the outer sprocket teeth (38) of the
other sprocket. In this way, a phased chain and sprocket
assembly is composed of identical sprockets, which eases
manufacture and assembly.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for
replacing entries within a state cache memory of a
multiprocessor computer system. The computer system
has, in addition to the state cache memory, a shared
system memory, a plurality of data cache memories, a
system of busses interconnecting the system memory
with the data cache memories, and employs a
centralised/distributed directory based cache
coherency scheme for maintaining consistency between
lines of memory within said shared system memory and
the data cache memories. 
     The method establishes a default memory state of
SHARED for lines of memory represented in the state
cache memory. The system memory line state for a state
cache entry associated with a line of memory stored in
the shared memory and at least one data cache memory
is read prior to its replacement. A castout operation
updates the line of memory within the shared memory
and assigns a data cache memory line state of SHARED
to the line of memory in each data cache memory if the
system memory line state is OWNED.

level of an output signal to the voltage level shifter is surely fixed at the "L" level while
surely preventing flow overfill current. The voltage-level shifter includes a potential
control circuit which controls a potential of the gate of an N-channel MOS transistor to
a potential of a voltage source of the output signal sent from said level shifter when
the input signal is at the "L" level and controls the potential of the gate of said
N-channel MOS transistor to a potential of a voltage source of the input signal sent to
said level shifter when the input signal is at the "H" level.

Abstract: A system (100-114) for rapidly and easily searching large collections of documents
(106) using standard web browser programs (100) as the user interface. The present
invention parses a collection of text documents (106) to identify symbols therein and
builds a database file (108) which identifies the file and line locations of each symbol
identified. The database file (108) is constructed to permit rapid searching for symbols
to permit interactive use of the present invention as a search tool (200-312). A
database client process (102) interacts with the web browser (100) via standard CGI
techniques to convert browser commands and queries into appropriate server process
requests. A server process (104) receives such requests and manipulates the
database files (106) in response to the requests. Query results returned to the client
process (102) are then reformatted by the client process (1008) to return a document
with hypertext links in place of search keys located in the database (e.g., an HTML
page). The system of the present invention thereby provides for rapid searching of
large collections of text documents which is not coupled to a specific toolset used to
create any one of the documents and which uses a simple and well-known user
interface, namely: web browsers.
