    Abstract: Implementations of the subject technology provide object detection and/or classification for electronic devices. Object detection and/or classification can be performed using a radar sensor of an electronic device. The electronic device may be a portable electronic device. In some examples, object classification using a radar sensor can be based on an identification of user motion using radar signals and/or based on extraction of surface features from the radar signals. In some examples, object classification using a radar sensor can be based on time-varying surface features extracted from the radar signals. Surface features that can be extracted from the radar signals include a radar cross-section (RCS), a micro-doppler signal, a range, and/or one or more angles associated with one or more surfaces of the object.

    Abstract: Acoustic optical integrity detection system architectures and methods can be used to detect optical integrity of an optical component by detecting a discontinuity on and/or in the optical component (e.g., on the optical surface and/or within the bulk of the optical component). In some examples, integrity detection can be used to ensure safety compliance of an optical system, optionally including a laser. Acoustic integrity detection can utilize transducers (e.g., piezoelectric transducers) to transmit ultrasonic waves along an optical surface and/or through the thickness of an optical component. A discontinuity of the optical surface can interact with the transmitted wave causing attenuation, redirection and/or reflection of at least a portion of the transmitted wave. Portions of the transmitted wave energy after interaction with the discontinuity can be measured to determine discontinuity location, type, and/or severity.

    Abstract: In one implementation, a method of displaying a portal is performed by a device including a display, one or more processors, and non-transitory memory. The method includes obtaining a user location in a first three-dimensional coordinate system of a first environment. The method includes obtaining an interest location in a second three-dimensional second coordinate system of a second environment. The method includes transforming the interest location to a transformed interest location in the first three-dimensional coordinate system. The method includes determining a portal location in the first three-dimensional coordinate system based on the user location and the transformed interest location. The method includes displaying, on the display at the portal location, a portal corresponding to at least a partial view of the second environment.

    Abstract: Certain embodiments disclosed herein provide application-specific launch optimization. Aspects of the present disclosure include one or more cost functions for each application, where each cost function corresponds to a likelihood that a particular application should be placed into a particular pre-activation state. For each of the inactive applications, a respective one of the pre-activation states is selected based on comparing cost values obtained by evaluating the cost functions. Each of the inactive applications can be moved to or maintained in the respectively-selected pre-activation state to more efficiently provide an expedited application launch experience for a user.

    Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to engaging in cross device interactions. The method includes at a first device with a first display, while a second device having a second display is placed over a first region of the first display, detecting, via input devices of the first device, a first input. In response to detecting the first input and in accordance with a determination that the first input occurred while focus was directed to the second device, the method includes causing a response to the first input to be displayed on the second display. In response to detecting the first input and in accordance with a determination that the first input occurred while focus was directed to the first device, the method includes displaying, on the first display, a response to the first input without causing a response to the first input to be displayed on the second display.
