Fade up of getting inaccurate  information on movement of trains? Not able to get correct information about timing of trains? Help is expected soon with the Railways going ahead with the Rs 110 crore satellite-based system to replace manual tracking of trains to provide its exact position on real-time basis.
The real-time train information system (RTIS) aims to provide train running information to the public through internet, SMS on mobile phones, call centres and through train indication boards at stations.
It will also give information to  passengers travelling in train through the provision of display system inside the coaches. Indian railway has already started provision of having internet in some trains.
“Efforts are on to replace the manual recording system with RTIS by connecting 8,000 trains and 8,177 stations across the country,” said a senior Railway Ministry official.
To keep track of trains, currently station masters call up the control room at the divisional headquarters every time a train passes their station.

Have you spent sleepless nights worried about the safety of your vehicle? Well, now you can be at ease. G Sankar Narayana, a technician in the Indian army and currently attached to the Queen Mary's Technical Institute (QMTI) at Khadki, has developed a security solution to prevent vehicle thefts.
The kit, developed by Narayana, has the facility to unlock and start the vehicle by entering a password which can prevent vehicle theft. The kit priced at Rs 270 has been developed using parts available in the local market. According to the police, on an average 3,000 cases of vehicle thefts are registered every year in Pune, which has a vehicle population of 20 lakh.

Narayana belongs to 127 Sata Regiment of Artillery (ARMY). Following an accident in Bikaner five years ago, he has been placed in a low medical category (LMC). He then enrolled at QMTI for a rehabilitation electrician training course.

According to Narayana, the idea of the kit came while observing his family at home. "At home my wife forgets to switch off kitchen appliances and my son plays with these equipment. I always worry that he might get injured, so I developed a 'password kit to control the mixer grinder'. Now, switching on and switching off the grinder is far safer," he said.

Association for Democratic Reforms (ADR) was established in August 1999 by a group of Professors from the Indian Institute of Management (IIM), Ahmedabad. It started working on building fair and transparent electoral and political processes in the country by filing a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) in August 1999 in the Delhi High Court asking for mandatory disclosure of criminal, financial and educational background of candidates contesting elections to the Parliament and State Legislatures, prior to the polls. In November 2000, ADR got its first achievement when the Delhi High Court gave its judgment in favor of ADR. The Government of India however challenged the PIL in December 2000 opposing the Delhi High Court. Several political parties also intervened in the matter favoring the stand taken by the government. After a long discussion and hearing, the Supreme Court of India in May 2002, rejected the Government of India’s appeal and asked the Election Commission of India (ECI) to issue orders making it necessary for candidates nominating themselves in elections to Parliament and State Assemblies to submit their nomination forms along with the affidavits containing the following information: 

·         Affidavits of candidates with their criminal cases pending against them, if any

·         Financial assets of the candidate,

·         Financial assets of candidate’s spouse and his/her dependents,

·         Financial liabilities and educational qualifications of the candidate.d

     Taking forward our efforts to enable people to know their candidates better and make informed choices, all the information regarding criminal and financial details of the contestants declared by them in their affidavits has been made available on http://myneta.info. e

Thomas Alva Edison (February 11, 1847 – October 18, 1931) was an American inventor, scientist, and businessman who developed many devices that greatly influenced life around the world, including the phonograph, the motion picture camera, and a long-lasting, practical electric light bulb. Dubbed "The Wizard of Menlo Park" (now Edison, New Jersey) by a newspaper reporter, he was one of the first inventors to apply the principles of mass production and large teamwork to the process of invention, and therefore is often credited with the creation of the first industrial research laboratory.

First Electric Bulb

Edison is considered one of the most prolific inventors in history, holding 1,093 US patents in his name, as well as many patents in the United Kingdom, France, and Germany. He is credited with numerous inventions that contributed to mass communication and, in particular, telecommunications. These included a stock ticker, a mechanical vote recorder, a battery for an electric car, electrical power, recorded music and motion pictures. His advanced work in these fields was an outgrowth of his early career as a telegraph operator. Edison originated the concept and implementation of electric-power generation and distribution to homes, businesses, and factories – a crucial development in the modern industrialized world. His first power station was on Manhattan Island, New York.

Indian food is varied and distinct to the state and culture. It is amazing to notice how people accustom to the environment and climate conditions and adopt foods either by the local produce or suiting the climate. The quantity of tamarind used in the South per day could amount to the month’s utilization in the North. Spices, condiments and vegetables vary per state. With transport facilities and a seamless geography, people are nowadays transforming their cuisines into much variety. A Gujarati is equally found of rajma-chawal as a Punjabi adopts a oondhiyu.

The days of hooking a wire to get cable television could soon be over with the I&B ministry on Thursday setting a March 31, 2015 deadline for shift from analog to digital systems.
    This will ensure better quality picture and services, choice of channels and interactive services. The industry will benefit as the move is expected to bring greater transparency in subscriber base and reduction in carriage fees. “This is the way ahead for the industry,” a government official said.
    The proposal has been sent to broadcast regulator TRAI and will be put before the cabinet for approval. Digitisation, where the feed will be received through set-top boxes, is expected to be executed in phases and the four metros of Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata and Chennai have to shift to digital addressability by March 31, 2012. Phase II will include 35 cities with population of more than 1 million like Patna, Chandigarh, Pune and Bangalore by March 31, 2013. Digitization will bring set-top box prices down
New Delhi: Moves are afoot to digitize television signals. All urban areas are expected to digitize by November 30, 2014 and the remaining areas by March 31, 2015.
    Zee News CEO Barun Das said, “Digitization will help industry grow at an accelerated speed. It is the key to problems like distrbution bottlenecks and under-declaration leading to loss of subscription revenue that broadcasters face today.”
    Industry insiders said digitization was the world norm and would bring prices down not just of set-top boxes but also carriage fees.
    Consumers are likely to spend Rs 1,000 for a set-top box but the monthly subscription could remain the same — around Rs 250-Rs 500 or even drop further.

Henceforth, bike and car thieves can run but not hide. And vehicle owners, apprehensive of ever-increasing thefts of cars and bikes in the city and their prized possessions going missing for ever, can heave a sigh of relief. All they need to do is instal a device, the size of a mobile phone with a sim, inside their vehicle.
    The moment their vehicle is stolen or tampered with, the device will send them an SMS alert. Thereafter, the thief and his movements will be like iridescent squiggles on a radar and can be tracked live on a mapbased platform such as Google Earth. With about 7,000 vehicles reported stolen every year, it makes the police’s task much easier and, what’s more, the device is affordably priced.
    The device, called ‘Tcop’, has been developed by iTrans Technologies (India) Pvt Ltd, located on Bannerghatta Road. In bikes, the device can be fitted beneath the seat or near the battery. In cars, it can be placed inside the glove box. It has a set of wires and one wire is connected to the battery. It draws a small amount of power from the battery and doesn’t require recharging.

BHUBANESWAR: The 3G device market seems to be hotting up with the latest and cheapest offer from iWEBLEAF, a city based company launched by two young Oriyas, who just completed B.Tech from the Techno School under Biju Patnaik University of Technology (BPUT) this year.

They are all set to offer 3G data card (USB modem) at an unbelievable price tag of Rs. 1300 at least for the time being.
Chandrasekhar Panda and Saswat Swain have designed the first ever 3G technology-based data card that provides high speed internet at a very low cost. The Wi-Fi and 3G enabled data card is designed to work on the spectrum of any telecom operator providing high speed internet service all the time.
This invention is expected to be a major breakthrough in providing mobile broadband connectivity as the biggest challenge in the country to-day is to provide broadband in rural villages and remote areas of the country.

India's ambitious Unique ID project dubbed "Aadhaar", which aims to give every Indian citizen a unique number mapped to biometrics, was launched on Wednesday in the Nadurbar district of Maharashtra. The Technoholik.com team got a sneak peek at the UIDAI (Unique ID Authority of India) tech centre in Bangalore, to tell you everything you need to know about the enrolment process.

The setup

The enrollment officer (EO) sits at right angles to you and enters data into a laptop. The insight of the Aadhaar team here is that the person getting enrolled must see what is being entered. Thus there's a monitor in front of you, which mirrors the enrolment officer's screen so that you can point out spelling mistakes or other errors. If the person getting enrolled is illiterate, he or she can nominate someone to accompany and verify. There's a small laser printer behind the EO's laptop and a webcam, fingerprint reader and iris scanner account for the remainder of the hardware setup. Unless, of course, you count the light bulb hanging from the ceiling and a white "roll-up" chart behind you for the "passport photo studio" effect!

The online English Hindi dictionary started as a small project with an aim to just make a website in Hindi. Dictionary was chosen as an application because there was no good quality online dictionary at the time and also because making a dictionary involves lot of challenge. The first version was a very simple site with about 15,000 words from the public domain dictionary compiled by Ram Narain Lal in 1936. Over time, the vocabulary was improvised and today it has tens of thousands of words. This site has grown in popularity because of its easy interface and strong vocabulary database
This site supports 9 different language  you can type word in English and get meaning in below mention language or vice versa

Here we give you a detailed explanation on how exactly credit cards work, a little know-how on the scientific side of credit cards.



By the Numbers
Although phone, gas and department stores have their own numbering systems, ANSI Standard X4.13-1983 is the system used by most national credit-card systems.
The front of your credit card has a lot of numbers — here’s anexample of what they might mean.

Here is what some of the numbers stand for:

· The first digit in your credit-card number signifies the system:

3 – travel / entertainment cards (such as American Express and Diners Club)
4 – Visa
5 – MasterCard
6 – Discover Card
· The structure of the card number varies by system. For example, American Express card numbers start with 37; Carte Blanche and Diners Club with 38.

o American Express – Digits three and four are type and currency, digits five through 11 are the account number, digits 12 through 14 are the card number within the account and digit 15 is a check digit.

o Visa – Digits two through six are the bank number, digits seven through 12 or seven through 15 are the account number and digit 13 or 16 is a check digit.

o MasterCard – Digits two and three, two through four, two through five or two through six are the bank number (depending on whether digit two is a 1, 2, 3 or other). The digits after the bank number up through digit 15 are the account number, and digit 16 is a check digit.

Now that we know what the numbers stand for, let’s examine the stripe on the back.

BitTorrent is a protocol that enables fast downloading of large files using minimum Internet bandwidth. It costs nothing to use and includes no spyware or pop-up advertising.

Unlike other download methods, BitTorrent maximizes transfer speed by gathering pieces of the file you want and downloading these pieces simultaneously from people who already have them. This process makes popular and very large files, such as videos and television programs, download much faster than is possible with other protocols.

In this article, we'll examine how BitTorrent works and how it is different from other file-distribution methods. In addition, you'll learn how to use BitTorrent and what the future might hold for this innovative approach to serving files over the Internet.

Traditional Client-Server Downloading
To understand how BitTorrent works and why it is different from other file-serving methods, let's examine what happens when you download a file from a Web site. It works something like this:

* You open a Web page and click a link to download a file to your computer.
* The Web browser software on your computer (the client) tells the server (a central computer that holds the Web page and the file you want to download) to transfer a copy of the file to your computer.
* The transfer is handled by a protocol (a set of rules), such as FTP (File Transfer Protocol) or HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol).

The transfer speed is affected by a number of variables, including the type of protocol, the amount of traffic on the server and the number of other computers that are downloading the file. If the file is both large and popular, the demands on the server are great, and the download will be slow.


Peer-to-peer File Sharing

Peer-to-peer file sharing is different from traditional file downloading. In peer-to-peer sharing, you use a software program (rather than your Web browser) to locate computers that have the file you want. Because these are ordinary computers like yours, as opposed to servers, they are called peers. The process works like this:

* You run peer-to-peer file-sharing software (for example, a Gnutella program) on your computer and send out a request for the file you want to download.
* To locate the file, the software queries other computers that are connected to the Internet and running the file-sharing software.
* When the software finds a computer that has the file you want on its hard drive, the download begins.
* Others using the file-sharing software can obtain files they want from your computer's hard drive.

The file-transfer load is distributed between the computers exchanging files, but file searches and transfers from your computer to others can cause bottlenecks. Some people download files and immediately disconnect without allowing others to obtain files from their system, which is called leeching. This limits the number of computers the software can search for the requested file.





What BitTorrent Does

Unlike some other peer-to-peer downloading methods, BitTorrent is a protocol that offloads some of the file tracking work to a central server (called a tracker). Another difference is that it uses a principal called tit-for-tat. This means that in order to receive files, you have to give them. This solves the problem of leeching -- one of developer Bram Cohen's primary goals. With BitTorrent, the more files you share with others, the faster your downloads are. Finally, to make better use of available Internet bandwidth (the pipeline for data transmission), BitTorrent downloads different pieces of the file you want simultaneously from multiple computers.

Here's how it works:



* You open a Web page and click on a link for the file you want.
* BitTorrent client software communicates with a tracker to find other computers running BitTorrent that have the complete file (seed computers) and those with a portion of the file (peers that are usually in the process of downloading the file).
* The tracker identifies the swarm, which is the connected computers that have all of or a portion of the file and are in the process of sending or receiving it.
* The tracker helps the client software trade pieces of the file you want with other computers in the swarm. Your computer receives multiple pieces of the file simultaneously.
* If you continue to run the BitTorrent client software after your download is complete, others can receive .torrent files from your computer; your future download rates improve because you are ranked higher in the "tit-for-tat" system.

Downloading pieces of the file at the same time helps solve a common problem with other peer-to-peer download methods: Peers upload at a much slower rate than they download. By downloading multiple pieces at the same time, the overall speed is greatly improved. The more computers involved in the swarm, the faster the file transfer occurs because there are more sources of each piece of the file. For this reason, BitTorrent is especially useful for large, popular files.

The success of Avatar throughout the world has forced Television manufacturers as well as broadcasters to take 3D seriously. It's no wonder that in the world's biggest electronic show, Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, 3D managed to capture everyone's attention. But can 3D TV at home become reality and be used at a large scale as it has its own share of other problems. Not everyone can enjoy the 3D experience, and many people cannot see 3D at all or suffer headaches or other ill effects from it.


In order to have 3D experience at home, a user will need new 3D content, which can be in form of 3D TV channel, a 3D Blu-ray Disc, or a 3D video game. ESPN and Discovery have decided to take a step in the 3D world as both have announced that they will soon make 3D content available. ESPN has announced that the upcoming Football World Cup will be broadcasted in 3D. Many movies are already available in 3D and may games are also following the trend.

Samsung
Samsung Electronics has announced that in 2010, the company's premium models in the LED TV lineup - 7000, 8000 and 9000 will all include Samsung's proprietary built-in 3D processor and emitter that is optimized for, and enables compatibility with multiple 3D standards including half and full HD resolution formats as well as the Blu-ray Disc Association approved "Blu-ray 3D" standard. In addition, Samsung's 3D system delivers a picture using a full color spectrum for an unbelievable, immersive viewing experience.


Sony
Sony's XBR-HX900 series has local dimming with a full array of LEDs behind the screen. This TV is 3D compatible and has 240Hz refresh rate. It also comes with Bravia Video interactive suite with Netflix, Amazon Video on Demand, YouTube, NPR, Yahoo Widgets and more. A user can decided whether to go for the optional Wi-Fi connection or not.

Sony XBR-HX900 series has two models, XBR-52HX900: 52-inch, XBR-46HX900: 46-inch and both will be available by this summer. Sony has still not announced the price of these products.

The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) said on Thursday that it would start issuing the 16-digit number to each resident of the country in February 2011.

We would start issuing the unique identification numbers (UIN) in February 2011. These numbers would be allotted on the basis of 11 biometrics including 10 fingerprints and iris, UIDAI Chairman Nandan Nilekani said here after a meeting with Haryana Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda.

The UIDAI would not allot any card, but 16-digit numbers, said Nilekani, who is on a visit to the state to discuss the UIN issue.

There would be eight regional offices of UIDAI and each such office would cover two-three states, he said.

Meanwhile, Hooda assured all help of the state government to the UIDAI and said the state level unit would function under financial commissioner and principal secretary (tourism) Keshni Anand Arora to allot UIN to Haryana residents.

A new range of internet services have made it possible for users to now send e-mail greetings to their loved ones from beyond the grave.

These online services are being used to send birthday wishes to friends, congratulations on a graduation, and to keep spouses happy.

Before they die, internet users can programme the sites to fire off posthumous e-mails on key dates each year.

People using these services can even set up their own online memorial in advance.

The messages go live when the website is alerted to a subscriber's demise.

According to reports, these websites are part of a growing trend for "digital wills".

Though not legally binding, the online wills are aimed at ensuring that next of kin can gain full access to a dead person's musings on sites like Facebook and Hotmail, as well as passwords for internet banking and other e-documents.

One Simon Gilligan, 63, from Littleport, Cambridgeshire, has made a digital will on lastmessagesclub.co.uk, which launched this month, in tandem with a paper will.

"It has things like personal messages to my wife and children and various details of my bank accounts, e-mail and my Facebook account," Times Online quoted him as saying.

"I did it because I have heard of situations where people have died and it has taken a long time to get the information. This will make it easier for my wife and children.

"I would definitely consider setting it up to send another e-mail out to my family on a birthday. That would choke everybody up," he added.
