Abstract: A system and method for enabling versioning and partial web page caching is disclosed. One of the features of the present invention is the use of version information in the caching process at a server site to identify partial web page modifications. A second feature is the capability at the client site to identify, receive, and display individual portions of a web page. This avoids the necessity of having the client receive whole page content when only a portion of that content has changed. Advantages of the present invention include a reduction in the server processing load as well as a reduction in the use of bandwidth utilization, an assurance that web page data is current in both server and client cache, and a dramatic increase in the speed of web page presentation.

Abstract: A combination stand and shelter for bicycles includes an anchored shelter made of two side members interconnected by a frame which also serves as a bike stand. A stiff sheet captured between the side members provides a weather shield for the front wheel of the bicycle, and also houses a storage bin for tools and spares. The rear portion of the bike may be covered, when desired, by drawing a flexible cover from a reel within the shelter, and securing its free end to the rear of the vehicle.
