A computer has instruction pipeline circuitry capable of executing two instruction set architectures (ISA's). A binary translator translates at least a selected portion of a computer program from a lower-performance one of the ISA's to a higher-performance one of the ISA's. Hardware initiates a query when about to execute a program region coded in the lower-performance ISA, to determine whether a higher-performance translation exists. If so, the about-to-be-executed instruction is aborted, and control transfers to the higher-performance translation. After execution of the higher-performance translation, execution of the lower-performance region is reestablished at a point downstream from the aborted instruction, in a context logically equivalent to that which would have prevailed had the code of the lower-performance region been allowed to proceed.

A split architecture for encoding a video stream. A source encoder may encode a video content stream to obtain an encoded bitstream and a side information stream. The side information stream includes information characterizing rate and / or distortion estimation functions per block of the video content stream. Also, a different set of estimation functions may be included per coding mode. The encoded bitstream and side information stream may be received by a video transcoder, which transcodes the encoded bitstream to a client-requested picture resolution, according to a client-requested video format and bit rate. The side information stream allows the transcoder to efficient and compactly perform rate control for its output bitstream, which is transmitted to the client device. This split architecture may be especially useful to operators of content delivery networks.

In a system and method for verifying the accurate processing of medical insurance claim data generated by a health care provider, a health care provider enters medical insurance claim information (data) into a health care provider terminal. The medical insurance claim data may include patient identification data and treatment data. The health care provider terminal stores and transmits the medical insurance claim data to a medical insurance claim processor operated by a medical insurance company. The medical insurance claim processor processes the claim data received from the health care provider terminal and generates processed claim data. Processed claim data may include patient identification data, treatment data, and payment data. Upon receipt of the processed claim data, the health care provider terminal compares the processed claim data with the stored medical insurance claim data originally submitted to the medical insurance claim processor. The health care provider terminal then generates comparison data indicating whether the stored medical insurance claim data has been processed in accordance with predetermined claim processing rules, which may be negotiated and agreed to by the health care provider and the medical insurance company. The comparison data also identifies processing errors, if any, in the processed claim data received from the medical insurance claim processor. The health care provider terminal may also generate and retransmit revised medical insurance claim data when the processed claim data has not been processed in accordance with the predetermined processing rules. Also, the health care provider terminal may automatically retransmit the medical insurance claim data to the medical insurance claim processor when the medical insurance claim data have not been processed within a defined period of time. Additionally, the health care provider terminal may verify the accuracy of treatment data prior to transmitting the medical insurance claim data to the medical insurance claim processor.
