This website passes Wikipedia:Notability (web)|WP:WEB (criterion 1) with the http://www.tmworld.com/article/CA301484.html magazine article from Test & Measurement World. http://www.allbusiness.com/energy-utilities/renewable-energy-solar/6268595-1.html One of the other two magazines is a duplicate of the Test & Measurement World article, but this only shows that the article was circulated to a larger number of people. The http://lw.pennnet.com/display_article/66599/13/ARTCL/none/none/Where-engineers-can-turn-for-help,-without-the-commercial-interruptions/ third magazine article, though written by a forum manager, was published as a technology article in ''Light'' magazine, which is owned by PennWell Corporation. Another http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-81762379.html two http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-95103098.html magazine sources are from ''Sensors Magazine''.
