Data confidence 85 high
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

We report the design of a fiber-optic sensor embedded in a textile, for possible applications in wearable smart textiles. The sensor is a CYTOP (cyclic transparent fluoropolymer) fiber Bragg grating (FBG), embedded into a cloth by manual sewing. The sensor can read the temperature variation; a calibration has been performed showing a sensitivity of 17.1 pm/K, and the possibility to detect rapid changes of the temperature.
