    Abstract: A method of determining whether live media content or time-shifted media content is received at a communication device is presented. In the method, attribute information concerning media content received at a communication device at a specific time is received. Also received is schedule information including an identity of media content carried at the specific time over a channel identified in the attribute information. The media content identity from the attribute information is compared with the media content identity from the schedule information. The received media content is determined to be live media content if the media content identity from the attribute information agrees with the media content identity from the schedule information. The received media content is determined to be time-shifted media content if the media content identity from the attribute information does not agree with the media content identity from the schedule information.

    Abstract: A patient claim data processing system responds to and initiates clinical events and attains early accurate claim data during a patient healthcare encounter cycle to support prompt claim data validation and editing both for individual claim elements and for a completed claim to improve claim accuracy prior to claim submission to a payer. The system submits accurate claims to payers and receives remittance advice from payers and applies rules to the advice. A system processes financial data related to provision of healthcare to a patient in response to clinical events. The system includes an interface processor for receiving a message identifying an event and a related change in healthcare data concerning a patient and also includes a source of rules for determining characteristics associated with reimbursement for provision of an individual service to a patient. A rules processor initiates application of a rule derived from the rules source to process financial data concerning provision of the individual service to the patient in response to receiving the message identifying the event. A result processor initiates an action in response to a result derived by the application of the rule to process the financial data. The rules processor also validates the financial data complies with the rule.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus for power reduction in a processor controlled by multiple-instruction control words. A multiple-instruction control word comprises a number of ordered fields, with each ordered field containing an instruction for an element of the processor. The sequence of instructions for a loop is compressed by identifying a set of aligned fields that contain NOP instructions in all of the control words of the sequence. The sequence of control words is then modified by removing the fields of the identified aligned set containing NOP instructions and adding an identifier that identifies the set of fields removed. The sequence of control words is processed by fetching the identifier at the start the loop, then, for each control word in the sequence, fetching a control word and reconstructing the corresponding uncompressed control word by inserting NOP instructions into the compressed control word as indicated by the identifier. The identifier may be a bit mask and may used to disable memory units and processing elements for the duration of the loop to reduce power consumption by the processor.
