Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for alleviating congestion of data traffic in a wireless network in a cell site. The methods determine congestion levels for respective data connections from mobile computing devices to a network through a cell tower in a cell site. The method further determines a congestion level associated with the cell site based on a weighted aggregate of varying congestion levels associated with the respective data connections in the cell site. The disclosed technology includes flow policies associated with congestion levels. The flow policies determine weights used for determining the weighted aggregate and maximum network bandwidth enforced for the respective data connections. The disclosed technology identifies data connections that consume abnormally high amount of network bandwidth and throttles with bias against data traffic associated with these data connections with heavy traffic.

Abstract: In one aspect, the present invention is directed to a snowball gun toy, for throwing snowballs, the gun comprising: at least one barrel (22); a magazine (28) having a plurality of snowball chambers (30i) in which snowballs (40i) are disposed in order to be fired from the gun, the magazine being rotatable such that each of the chambers, separately, can be positioned to coincide with the barrel; a piston (38), for pushing the snowball present in the snowball chamber (30) that coincides with the barrel (22); a propelling mechanism, for propelling the piston (38); a cocking mechanism, for cocking the propelling mechanism; and a triggering mechanism employing a trigger (14), for releasing the propelling mechanism, thereby pushing the snowball (40) out of the barrel; and a rotating mechanism, for rotating the magazine (28) to place the next snowball chamber (30) to coincide with the barrel (22).
