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

As with most large run projects, a set of proof a concept “blocks of code” were designed and builtprior to PCB fabrication. In order to exist the proof of concept stage, the team targeted three criticalcomponents of the system: a) intra-block communication, b) topology detection, and c) main processortoken recognition. Because the team decided to abstract away control of the blocks to an externalarbitrator, the team was able to work concurrently on the three major functions of the system, distributedacross the two subsystems. The primary function of the block is to report its selected function inconjunction with the identity of its
