Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

The paper proposes a system of data transmission according to VLC technology using new physical encoding. The authors implemented the transfer of symbol data from one personal computer to another using a white lighting LED. The STM32 microcontroller and LED control driver were used for data transmission. Instead of the standard physical encoding approach, where one cycle corresponds to the value of 0 and one cycle corresponds to the value of 1 corresponding to the maximum power of the LED, a new encoding was implemented. This approach determines 0 in binary encoding in two cycles at zero voltage, and at the voltage that provides the maximum power of the LED, identifies 1 in binary notation in two cycles. Although the data transfer rate is reduced, the reliability of using two bits both for 1 and 0 is increased.
