Abstract: A method, system and device for managing congestion/overload conditions at application level, experienced in a network service provided through a telecommunications network, allowing to provide fast, valid and complete service responses to the service client even when the service servers are overloaded. The congestion management is provided by an intermediary node communicated with the client device and with the server or servers providing the network service. In order to control server(s) overload, this node uses a double congestion mechanism, an early congestion detection mechanism and a response time limit mechanism.

Abstract: A conveyor (3) having a first belt (7a) which is configured to move in a closed loop (19); a support element (15) which includes first surface (16a) which is configured to cooperate with a first surface (17a) of the first belt (7a) to support the first belt (7a) during an outgoing part of the closed loop (19) and a second surface (16b) and is configured to cooperate with a second surface (17b) of the first belt (7a) to support the first belt (7a) during a return part of the closed loop (19), so that the first belt (7a) is prevented from hanging.

Abstract: An educational board game has a plurality of segments positioned in a predetermined order and extending from a starting segment to an ending segment. The educational board game also has a plurality of participant identifiers, wherein each participant identifier represents a single individual playing the game. A random number generator selects a value which determines how many segments a participant is allowed to move on his or her turn. A first feedback stack includes cards describing episodes and which may result in an exchange or loss of points. A second feedback stack includes cards with instructions to read out loud educational content. The educational board game further has a third feedback stack with cards containing questions regarding the subject matter of the game. The educational content read during the game includes answers to the questions presented in the third feedback stack.

Abstract: A conveyor (3) comprising, a first belt (7a) which is configured to move in a closed loop (19); a support element (15) which comprises first surface (16a) which is configured to cooperate with a first surface (17a) of the first belt (7a) to support the first belt (7a) during an outgoing part of the closed loop (19) and a second surface (16b) which is configured to cooperate with a second surface (17b) of the first belt (7a) to support the first belt (7a) during a return part of the closed loop (19), so that the first belt (7a) is prevented from hanging; a second belt (7b) which is configured to move in a closed loop (19), and the support element (15) comprises a third surface (16c) which is configured to cooperate with a first surface (18a) of the second belt (7b) to support the second belt (7b) during an outgoing part of the closed loop (19) and a fourth surface (16d) which cooperates with a second surface (18b) of the second belt (7b) to support the second belt (7b) during a return part of the closed loop (
