A shout out to Giorgia Mazzini, new graduate of the Università di Firenze's department of #Engineering for her thesis on the characterization of our #TEMPERATURE #fabricsensor (youtu.be/z-ttShy6YSk).
Great call this morning with a clutch of seasoned #industrial #sensor salespeople and #engineers in a review our knitted #fabricsensor components. It’s encouraging to hear an enthusiastic response to a nascent #IoT #technology.
We've just published a new #video showing off our #lightweight #breathable #allfabric #Temperature #sensor here: youtube.com/watch?v=Jxxqfb6w…
To clarify, FLOW references, respectfully, Mihaly #Csikszentmihalyi's work which explores the state of mind connected with profound #engagement in one's work. We know that state, and hope partner with others who do.
Today we came up with FLOW: a loosely-relevant acronym for the #advantages of our unique approach to #smarttextile #production. F (#flexibility) L (#largearea or #lowcost) O (#overengineered) W (#wireknitted). #FLOW.

An exciting couple of conversations this week with @DonradDuncan re the possibilities for smart textiles and anti-viral copper fabrics in the medical sector. Thank you @DonradDuncan and Michele Marsilli for introducing us.
For fans of the old @plugandwear we've brought the old #onlinestore back to our current website, along with a couple of other improvements including a #markets page which suggests where #smarttextiles and #textilesensors might find applications in six different domains.
The addition of subtitles altered the YouTube link! Here's the new one: youtube.com/watch?v=y_pE9oey…
Today we added subtitles in six languages to our first #YouTube video as @Knitronix. If any polyglot fans spot errors in the translations, please let us know!
Work starts this month on our first #polyvalent #fabricsensor in which we'll integrate #temperature and #galvanic skin response (#GSR).

It’s been a busy 10 days with new interest in our technology from both consumer and industrial product OEMs. We’ve also just posted our first new content to YouTube since Plug&Wear became @knitronix: a quick look at our Basic Pressure sensor: youtu.be/vJ4v6j6E4YQ
It seems raw #copper, our preferred material for #knittedelectronics given its high ductility and conductivity, is particularly hostile to #COVIDー19
Quoting from a #NEJM letter to the editor dated Apr 2020 (nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NE…) “On #copper, no viable #SARS-CoV-2 was measured after 4 hours and no viable SARS-CoV-1 was measured after 8 hours.”
You’ll need to register on the platform (sorta like a #kickstarter for medical projects) and the “Like” button is all the way down at the bottom of the project description page, below the comment sections.
As we've been re-branding, we've also been exploring how to best leverage copper's natural anti-viral properties. smithsonianmag.com/science-n…
We invite all prior followers of @plugandwear and new fans of #wearable and formable fabric #sensors for temperature, pressure and presence of liquid to follow us as @knitronix.
