  • Publication number: 20110103026
    Abstract: A mounting apparatus for a PCI card includes a mounting bracket, a mounting piece for attaching the PCI card to the mounting bracket, and a securing member. The mounting bracket has a blocking plate and a first engaging portion. The mounting piece includes an elongated body and a mounting end extending from the elongated body. The mounting end abuts the blocking plate. The securing member is pivotably attached to the mounting bracket and abuts the mounting end to sandwich the mounting end between the securing member and the blocking plate. The securing member includes a second engaging portion, a handling portion, and an elastic arm. The second engaging portion engages the first engaging portion. The handling portion is for driving the second engaging portion to disengage from the first engaging portion by biasing the handling portion.

  • Publication number: 20110047134
    Abstract: A method and a system for controlling media playing and a metadata execution unit are provided. The metadata execution unit obtains metadata provided by a metadata providing unit, and executes corresponding metadata according to trigger information for executing metadata. The metadata execution unit generates media content control indication information according to an execution result, and sends the media content control indication information. A media content control unit then controls media content playing correspondingly according to the media content control indication information. By using the method and apparatus, metadata is distributed to a suitable network entity to be executed for controlling media playing. In this way, decentralized execution of a policy is achieved. Therefore, processing efficiency is improved.
