  • Method and Apparatus for Tuning Tabla like Hand-played Musical Drums

    Issued 403110

    Currently Tabla like instruments which require tuning to a fixed frequency of sound, use
    very classical mechanisms to hold the skin to the drum body. Hence to change the level
    of tightness and hence change the tuning of the drum, it takes a lot of physical effort and
    the use of hammer to tune it. Also the process is time taking. Due to this most Tabla
    players use multiple Tablas when in concert each pre-tuned to the frequency required for
    each song. Using our version of the…

    players use multiple Tablas when in concert each pre-tuned to the frequency required for
    each song. Using our version of the Tabla, the tuning process gets less involving both in
    time and effort. It can be tuned easily within 2 minutes.

Projects

  • ReProTool

    -

    The aim is to create a tool that allows users to bind requirements with the code of a developed application. Besides general requirements, the tool will semi-automatically process use-cases written in natural language. The idea is to reuse the algorithms and linguistic tools from the successful Procasor Environment project and to integrate them with the Eclipse platform.

  • Complex Network Analysis of the Indian Railways Network

    The project lead to the following observation covered in the Deccan Herald :
    http://www.deccanherald.com/content/315433/heavy-traffic-poor-infra-haunting.html

    Indian Railways (IR), the largest rail passenger carrier in the world, has experienced 11 major accidents due to derailment or collision between trains in the year 2010, leading to several human casualties and large-scale disruptions in traffic. Alarmingly, 8 of these 11 accidents have occurred within a specific geographical…

    The project lead to the following observation covered in the Deccan Herald :
    http://www.deccanherald.com/content/315433/heavy-traffic-poor-infra-haunting.html

    Indian Railways (IR), the largest rail passenger carrier in the world, has experienced 11 major accidents due to derailment or collision between trains in the year 2010, leading to several human casualties and large-scale disruptions in traffic. Alarmingly, 8 of these 11 accidents have occurred within a specific geographical region known as the Indo-Gangetic plain. In order to identify the general causes of such frequent accidents, and the specific factors leading to repeated accidents in a particular region, we systematically collect and analyze data of IR traffic over the last two decades. We find that there has been an unbalanced growth in IR traffic in the Indo-Gangetic plain over the last two decades, and consequently most of the high-traffic rail-routes presently lie in this region. However, construction of new tracks and train-routes has been nominal compared to the increase in traffic, leading to frequent congestion and over-utilization of existing tracks. Modeling the traffic-flow using computer simulations, we also show that if all trains were to travel in accordance with the IR schedule, the present infrastructure would be insufficient to handle the resultant traffic-flow in some of the high-traffic routes. Hence this study reflects some of the inherent problems in the scheduling of trains and evolution of IR, and also identifies several regions where traffic is likely to exceed safe limits.
