The implementation of power line communications (PLC) in smart electricity grids provides us with exciting opportunities for real-time cable monitoring. In particular, effective fault classification and estimation methods employing machine learning (ML) models have been proposed in the recent past. Often, the research works presenting PLC for ML-aided cable diagnostics are based on the study of synthetically generated channel data.

Although LiFi signals are spatially more contained than RF signals, the broadcasting nature of LiFi also makes it susceptible to eavesdropping. Therefore, it is important to secure the transmitted data against potential eavesdroppers.

Ultrasound elastography provides a non-invasive way to examine in vivo the stiffness of the placenta; increased stiffness has previously been linked to fetal growth restriction. This study used a previously developed dynamic elastography method, called shear wave absolute vibro-elastography, to study 61 post-delivery clinically normal placentas.
