TuneCrack stands for: Crack the tuning problem – Learn to tune instruments precisely. The importance of tuning is often underestimated. However, tuning is a necessary step for every performance. TuneCrack has exercises to improve your listening skill and your pitch transfer skill. Your listening skill is trained with the Precision Listening Method. Your task is to solve ever more challenging questions: until a precision to the cent. Your transfer skill is trained with the Pitch Keeper Method. First, the program introduces you to your personal Absolute Pitch Point. With appropriate exercises and feedback you learn how to take over a pitch and keep the sound in your mind for an ever-lengthier time period. Transferring a pitch and keeping it in your mind is an important step in understanding the musical center of a piece. Since humans can only express pitch by singing, the program listens to you and gives you feedback based on your singing: a colored pitch line shows, if you are too low, too high or on target. The program tracks your progress and lets you see the statistics in graphical form. Thus, your weak and strong points get visible. Eliminate weak points by training. Build upon and extend your strong points. With your strong points start building an absolute pitch repertoire.

CurvFit ™ is a curve fitting program for Windows. Lorentzian, Sine, Exponential and Power series are available models to match your data. A Lorentzian series is highly recommended for real data especially for multiple peaked and/or valleys data.

CurvFit is another improved productivity example do to using Calculus (level) programming … ie. minutes to solve, days or years to understand solution and what it implies (e.g. wrong model, sampling rate error, etc.). Helps learn 1) whether math model is good for given data; 2) convergence implies a reasonable solution; 3) how to select new starting initial parameter values. See comments in EX*.? files for ideas on how to converge via solvers. Interpolation, extrapolation, & Hardcopy Plot options are now available.

Industry problems with solutions over the past twenty plus years have been put into a textbook to show the power of Calculus (level) Problem-Solving. The textbook is on our website at fortranCalculus.info/textbook/welcome . The software architect behind Calculus Compilers is Joe Thames (read about Joe on our About page).

Help improve science and engineering productivity by supporting Joe Thames’ MetaCalculus University Rollout efforts, visit metaCalculus.com/campaigns.html, in developing MC Fortran. (There has been little if any corporate funding of Joe’s work for many years!) Help future science & engineers get jobs upon graduation. With MC Fortran, one increases their productivity by a factor of twenty!

It can, inter alia, verify different DICOM instances:

Check for Value Multiplicity (VM).
Check for unknown Value Representations (VR).
Check for VR conformity to the standard.
Check for length of the all strings.
Check for correct numbers values.
Check for character sets of strings values.
Check for UID conformity. Leading zeros and other.
Check for padding value availability and conformity to VRs.
Check for therms in the tags with help of a dictionary.
Check for same UIDs in the 0002,0002 and 0008,0016; 0002,0003 and 0008,0018.
Check for dicomdir: linked files existence, referential integrity, correct names of the files.
Some additional checks for SQ tags integrity.

Results of the check are shown in user friendly tag coloring manner.
