Where are the flicker ratings?

By

Having been hunting around for downlights, I have noticed that, quite rightly, fire ratings are now published in their data sheets. But where are the flicker or strobe ratings? And I don’t mean the sort of flicker that comes along with dimmer incompatibility. I mean the residual 50, 60, 100 or 120Hz that comes from …

De-magnetising conundrum

By

I have googled this without finding a satisfactory answer. How long does it take a well-magnetised Alnico magnet to loose magnetism once its keeper/armature is removed? The question arose from a discussion the wise Steve Kurt about removing the armatures from old permanent magnet generators – specifically old Sturmey Archer Dynao Hubs. I vaguely remembered …

AWS Application Discovery Service

By

AWS Application Discovery Service helps Systems Integrators quickly and reliably plan application migration projects by automatically identifying applications running in on-premises data centers, their associated dependencies, and their performance profile. Planning data center migrations can involve thousands of workloads that are often deeply interdependent. Application discovery and dependency mapping are important early first steps in the migration process, but difficult to perform at scale due to the lack of automated tools. AWS Application Discovery Service automatically collects configuration and usage data from servers, storage and networking equipment to develop a list of applications, how they perform, and how they are interdependent. This information is securely retained in an AWS Application Discovery Service database which you can export as a CSV or XML file into your preferred visualization tool or cloud migration solution to help reduce the complexity and time in planning your cloud migration.
