Abstract: A server determines, at a first predetermined time, a default decision as to whether to provide a first media content clip after the end of a first media content item. At a second predetermined time, after the first predetermined time, the server initiates a determination of a first decision as to whether to provide the first media content clip after the end of the first media content item. In accordance with the first decision being reached within a predetermined latency period, the server provides the first media content clip to the first electronic device in accordance with the first decision. In accordance with a determination that the predetermined latency period has elapsed without the first decision being reached, provides the first media content clip to the first electronic device in accordance with the default decision.

Abstract: A device for protecting a direct current source and method are provided. Electric energy outputted from the direct current source is stored and an enable signal is received by the hiccup drive circuit. In a case that the enable signal is an OFF-ENABLE signal, the driving signal is generated based on the electric energy stored internally. By periodically switching on the switching device based on the driving signal, the output voltage of the direct current source is periodically short-circuited. Therefore, the issue of a large conduction loss in the conventional art is avoided, which is caused by the fact that a minimum required voltage for driving the electronic switch is required to be continuously provided by the output voltage of the direct current source.
