That’s because, just like Uncle Charlie giving a speech at a wedding, nothing draws attention like a break from the norm. Or go with the power of stunning contrast while leaving concerns about matching colors behind. Slight glimpses of color or even variations on a certain hue in your wall art can draw the eye to create tonal continuity. While your choice in art or photography can reflect the color scheme of a room in a major way, this is not necessary for visual harmony. The center of one large piece or that of several frames should have its midpoint at eye level. While no advice on art is set in stone, the same effect of larger pieces, however, can be achieved with a series of several smaller framed wall art pieces that come together for a collage effect. Some advise that wall art should be roughly 70% the width of couches or beds it is placed over. Tips for choosing wall art you’ll loveįor showcase pieces, wall art should be sizeable enough-between 2 to 4 feet-to dominate a space and change the mood of a room. And there’s the simplicity of traditional prints with soothing dark warm tones and a defined color palette such as a close up of flowers running white to dark pink on a black background. Or go with the boho style of painting prints featuring an array of colors and textures such as a deer perfectly merged with its natural environment as flowers coat its body and dance from its antlers. Hang a list of herbs done in a classic illustrative style in a sleek black fiberboard frame in the kitchen. Or trace the lines of wall art that enlarges leaves against a beige background for you to contemplate every curve while sipping wine and listening to jazz. Go minimalist with framed wall art highlighting the time-lapse shift in a gleaming white moon against a black background. Really want to showcase your love of architecture, animals or natural landscapes? Create a collage of images that compliment each other with framed picture or poster sets. Go with stunning, industrial photos of the city you call home or showcase several cities you’ve lived in or visited with framed black and white aerial maps. Or remind yourself of times spent down the shore by putting the view from a sandy beach in your living room. You can pair the rustic feel of woodland scenes or a path through a country wheat field with the modern look of black or gray aluminum frames. Choose the look of your picture by either having the frame visible or folding the canvas around the frame. Art to breathe new life into your wallsįrom modern art to stunning nature scenes to your own personal collages, there are a lot of options in what you can put in a stylish frame to transform any room.

It has 40,000 square feet (3,700 m 2) of space and includes life-size statues and movie "sets". The company opened its second storefront in November 2019, located in Hollywood, Los Angeles. In May 2019, Funko acquired the fashion accessories line, Loungefly. Funko: Hollywood in Hollywood, California Funko was listed on the NASDAQ stock exchange on November 2, 2017, but suffered the worst initial public offering of the 21st century, with shares falling by 40 percent and only raising $125 million. Funko opened its new headquarters and 17,000-square-foot (1,600 m 2) flagship store in downtown Everett on August 19, 2017. Funko acquired British toymaker Underground Toys, also its European distributor, in early 2017. īy 2016, it had outgrown its original headquarters in Everett and announced plans to move into a downtown building with more space and a retail store. ACON Investments, LLC announced in late 2015 that it had acquired Funko from Fundamental Capital, LLC, but would keep current staff and the head of company. The company was sold to Fundamental Capital, a private equity firm, in 2013 to raise funds. By 2012, the company had sold more than $20 million worth of merchandise. In 2011, Funko began selling their Pop! Vinyl line of figurines. In 2005, Becker sold Funko to its current Chief Creative Officer, Brian Mariotti, who moved its offices to Lynnwood, Washington, and significantly expanded the company's licensed product lines. After this, some of the first characters that Funko sold were the Grinch, Tony the Tiger, and Cheerios mascot, the honeybee. The coin banks failed to sell and the franchise filed for bankruptcy protection, but Funko remained in business after licensing the rights to bobbleheads for Austin Powers, which sold 80,000 units. He started the business after failing to find an affordable coin bank of the Big Boy Restaurants mascot, instead licensing the rights to make his own coin banks from a Big Boy franchise in Michigan. History Funko headquarters in Everett, Washingtonįunko was founded in 1998 by toy collector Mike Becker at his home in Snohomish, Washington. Since then, the company has increased the scope of its toy lines and signed licensing deals with major companies such as Warner Bros., Nickelodeon, MTV, NBCUniversal, Disney, Marvel Entertainment, and Major League Baseball. Sold in 2005, Funko, LLC, is now headed by CEO Andrew Perlmutter. The company's first manufactured bobblehead was of the Big Boy mascot, the well-known restaurant advertising icon. Founded in 1998 by Mike Becker and Claudia Becker, Funko was originally conceived as a small project to create various low-tech, nostalgia-themed toys. In addition, the company produces licensed plush, action figures, apparel, accessories and games. is an American company that manufactures licensed and limited pop culture collectibles, best known for its licensed vinyl figurines and bobbleheads. ![]() ![]() ![]() Vintage BETTY BOOP Winter Woolens Fashion Doll 12' Tall 1986 NEW IN Box rr1. ![]() ~BETTY BOOP in red letters on bracelet.~Adjustable Stretchy Band~A few light scratches from normal wear.

Throttle on just about any bldc ebike controller uses an analog output hall sensor. I would be so happy to get an Instruction on how to programme the controller, in order for it to run without the hall sensor. I hope someone has experiences with the controller I got. I have read about other controllers, that run fine without hall sensors, however the bike doesn't run with the controller installed now. I need to know how to “programme” the controller to make the bike run without hall sensor. The was no instruction in the package I recieved from them, and they are not replying to my messages. I Recently bought the XLD Brainpower motor controller XunLiDa - with control panel from. So far, the motor I'm playing with sounds exactly the same as it did with the older model Infineon job that was previously on there. I'm dubious about the "sine wave" output of this thing. There are two connectors for an alarm function - which I have NO idea about.Īlarm power (red and black) goes to pads marked "PS+" and "GND".Īlarm signal is three wires - Grey goes to "A3", white goes to "W", and orange just brings back out full battery voltage (it's directly connected to the orange "ignition" wire).ĭunno if any of this is useful, but its the first time I've had my mitts on one of these "X806M" based controllers. I have no idea how I'd use this, though driving a regular analogue panel meter could be fun. What's weird is that it hangs out of the controller, unprotected and uninsulated, but ramps up as high as 18V when the bike is at full throttle on a 39V pack. The faster you go, the more voltage you read on this line. It seems analogue (though probably just buffered PWM). The "cruise function" (blue and black, going to "Q" and "GND", respectively) holds your current speed when shorted. The "reverse function" (brown and black, going "DC" and "GND", respectively) reverses the motor when shorted. Short black to white and you get full speed. Short black to grey, and speed is reduced to "low". Left open, the motor runs at its "medium" speed. Black goes to "GND", grey to "K1", and white to "K2". The "gear switch" is the 3-speed control. Red goes to "+4.3V", black to "GND", and white to "SD" - the latter being the actual throttle signal. The throttle ("handle accelerator", as diagrammed) is red, white, and black. When shorted, this switches off motor power and activates EBS. The low "low potential" brake (the one most of us actually use) is a black and white, going to "GND" and "SL", respectively. It goes to "SH" on the PCB and has the same effect as shorting the low potential brake. You'd connect this to the same 12V signal that drives the bike's tail light. The "high potential brake" (it's purple) is an input signal that would be used if this controller were used on a scooter. These are connected to pads labelled "DS" and "X" on the PCB ![]() The EBS brake wires are both grey and, when jumpered together, turn on the braking (or regen, if true) capability - provided the LVC and power source are compatible. These are the red, yellow, green, white, and black hall wires, respectively. ![]() ![]() There's a group of pads on the PCB - "5V", "U", "V", "W", and "GND" all together. Phase and hall wires are standard, as well. The heavy red and black are your main battery power, and the orange wire is the "ignition" which provides battery power to the actual controller logic. The "power and electric lock" function is straightforward. I've mapped out where all of the coloured wires go, and what the do (though I have no idea how the "alarm" feature is used), so FWIW - this is the diagram: Anyways, I thought I toss this out there - the markings (and chip used) on this board seem to be very similar to the board posted earlier in the thread. ![]() 1/1/2024 0 Comments Blacklight bulbs![]() One of the most versatile form factors is a UV LED flexible strip. As the chart below shows, most fluorescence is strongest in the 320-380 nm range, with a peak at 365 nm. But even within the 350-400 nm range, different wavelengths can create stronger or weaker fluorescence effects. Ultraviolet light encompasses a wide range of wavelengths, but most blacklight applications utilize a narrow range of ultraviolet radiation (UV-A) to produce fluorescence effects - specifically between 350 and 400 nm (nanometers). For UV lights, the most accurate metric is "watts" of UV light output. ![]() Although lumens is typically the metric used to measure the amount of visible light, because ultraviolet light is invisible, this metric is essentially useless. UV blacklight "brightness" is a difficult metric to describe, because UV light energy is not directly visible. ![]() Until recently, fluorescent lamp blacklights were the primary option, but with rapid advances in LED technology, UV LED lights are quickly becoming the preferred option.

Running StatsD-exporters as a Kubernetes pod allows you to scale up easily. Prometheus will scrape the StatsD-exporter and make the metrics available in its time series database for reporting in Grafana. The stat would hit any StatsD-exporter and would be made available for scraping. HOST –> <– <– Ī microservice would send its statistics using StatsD client to a single endpoint which is load balanced. This proxy however becomes the new bottleneck so to overcome this you can run a few of these proxies by running one on each host as described in the Anomaly blog post.Ī service would make a call to the StatsD proxy on the same host which would pass on the metric to an external host running a StatsD server. To summarise that post, the StatsD community have built a cluster proxy to overcome the scaling issues by using clever hashrings to ensure metrics go to the same StatsD backend and are aggregated correctly. Folks at Anomaly wrote a great post about three ways to scale StatsD. Our first intentions were to scale the StatsD server, however when you run multiple instances of StatsD, your aggregation will split among these instances and your metrics will become skewed. The first problem we faced with our StatsD server was that it became overloaded because it is a single threaded NodeJS server and aggregation on this server was CPU bound, so metrics were dropped. To operate at a very large transaction volumes, we will need a scalable a metrics system. Timers are important to track how much time incoming requests, internal and external requests take to complete. Counters are important for us to monitor throughput of each microservice, i.e. StatsD is able to track counters, timers and gauges. There are many client libraries so it works across multiple platforms. StatsD is a powerful stats aggregation service that got our attention because it’s very simple to deploy and operate. More importantly and for this post: How do we track each individual request and report on it without adding massive contention to the system. ![]() Fanning out connections from internal services to external providers from whom we get hotel content from.Fanning out connections from the edge to different microservices within the platform.Handling high volume of incoming requests and more importantly how to handle socket connections on the platforms edge.We have had to tackle many of them so far, including: There are several challenges with designing this type of platform. In this post, I’d like to do a deep dive into how we designed a metrics platform that is able to scale, aggregate and feed in to a monitoring solution to support reporting on anything in the system that a developer or operator wants to track.Īs our engineers at Webjet build out our distributed services over a global landscape, our recent goal has been to scale these systems linearly so we are able to achieve 30,000 requests per second with latency as low as 2 seconds for each request. There are many challenges in building modern distributed system and monitoring these systems can be particularly tricky. Building a microservice platform that is scalable and can handle hundreds and thousands of requests per second is a difficult task even on modern cloud platforms. ![]() |
