The sound is then broadcast through the transmitter, and plays through an FM broadcast band frequency. Purposes for an FM transmitter include playing music from a device through a car stereo , or any radio. The FM transmitter plugs into the audio output of audio devices and converts the audio output into an FM radio signal, which can then be picked up by appliances such as car or portable radios.

Orphan date February 2009 Device Bay was a standard jointly developed by Compaq , Intel and Microsoft in 1997, as a simple way to add, remove, and share hardware devices. Originally intended to be introduced in the second half of 1998, Device Bay was never finalized and has long since been abandoned. The official website disappeared in mid 2001. Making use of new technologies at the time, such as USB and Firewire, Device Bay was intended to make adding and removing devices from the PC easier, through the use of plug n play. It allowed peripherals such as hard drives, CD DVD ROM drives, audio devices, and modems, to be added to the PC without having to open the case or even turn the PC off. Devices could also be removed from the PC while it was still turned on this could also be done through software in the operating system. Another advantage of Device Bay was that it allowed certain devices to be swapped between a desktop and laptop computer.

Primary date May 2010 Device independence is the process of making a software application be able to function on a wide variety of devices regardless of the local hardware on which the software is used. Desktop computing In the early days of computer design and development up until about 1980, software was typically specifically written to operate on the specific hardware where the software was used. The software was intimately linked to the hardware, and could not function independent of it. As computers became less expensive generalized personal computer s, the concept of peripheral device s was introduced, where the base hardware could have a variety of different accessory devices from different manufacturers. At first, software which was to use this accessory hardware was required to be specifically designed to support it. In the time of MS DOS , game programmers typically had to write custom control software for each type of sound card or video card that might be installed in the user s computer. The need to provide custom support for so many devices consumed a considerable amount of time for software development.

In the Linux kernel , the device mapper serves as a generic Software framework framework to map one block device onto another. It forms the foundation of LVM2 and Enterprise Volume Management System EVMS , software RAID s, dm crypt disk encryption, and offers additional features such as file system Snapshot computer storage snapshots . Device mapper works by processing data passed in from a virtual block device , that it itself provides, and then passing the resultant data on to another block device. Applications Applications like LVM2 and Enterprise Volume Management System EVMS that need to create new mapped devices talk to the device mapper via the libdevmapper.so Library computer science shared library , which in turn issues ioctl s to the dev mapper control device node . Developers can also access device mapper from shell script s via the dmsetup tool.
