The Courseware hasevolved with each offering of the course, incrementally improving each time, similar to theconcepts articulated in [16]. The Courseware resides in an instructor-only repository, and thecontent is incrementally released to students, via a second repository for students that is usedonly for the duration of the semester term. Each week (a) the solution to the previous week’sassignment, (b) new textbook content for the current week, and (c) the current week’sassignment are incrementally released to the students.

In the Bluetooth model shown in Figure 2(b), the medium control layerconverts the bit stream via the Bluetooth protocol stack and transmits them thought the RF signal.Thus, the Bluetooth SPP protocol can be treated as a wireless serial port.

known as timbre). • Duration.A music note8 specifies the frequency and may also contain the duration information. The notesare grouped into octaves and their frequencies are doubled after each octave. There are twelvenotes in an octave, represented by C, C♯, D, D♯, E, F, F♯, G, G♯, A, A♯, and B. The frequenciesfrom the octave 0 to the octave 8 are summarized in Table 1. Table 1. Frequencies of music notesThere is a simple relationship between two successive note frequencies. Let the frequencies oftwo notes be fi and fi+1, then fi+1 = 21/12 * fiThe equation implies that a frequency is doubled after one octave (i.e., 12 notes): fi+12 = (21/12)12 * fi = 2 fiFor example, the frequency of note C in the
