    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for cross-polarization-based object detection and classification. One example includes a system implemented for cross-polarization-based object detection and classification. The system includes a first transmitter antenna configured for radiating a first millimeter wave electromagnetic signal, where the first millimeter wave electromagnetic signal including a first polarization. The system further includes a first receiver antenna configured for receiving a second millimeter wave electromagnetic signal, the second millimeter wave electromagnetic signal including a second polarization. The system further includes a processing circuitry configured to detect an object based at least in part on the second millimeter wave electromagnetic signal, the object being impacted by the first millimeter wave electromagnetic signal to cause the second millimeter wave electromagnetic signal to reflect off the object.

    Abstract: An electronic device may have multiple near-field communications antennas. Multiplexer circuitry may have a transceiver port that is coupled to a near-field communications transceiver, and multiple antenna ports coupled to respective near-field communications antennas. Non-near-field communications antennas may be used by non-near-field communications circuitry. The electronic device may have a housing with opposing first and second ends and a display. One of the near-field communications antennas and one of the non-near-field communications antenna may be formed from shared antenna structures at the first end. Another of the near-field communications antennas and another of the non-near-field communications antennas may be formed from shared antenna structures at the second end. An additional near field communications antenna may be overlapped by the display.

    Abstract: In some embodiments, a data-secure sensor system includes one or more processors configured to receive sensor data (e.g., image data, audio data, etc.) and generate descriptive data based on the sensor data that corresponds to a physical area that corresponds to information about identified objects or activity in physical area, an input/output (I/O) port, and an I/O choke communicatively coupled between the one or more processors and the I/O port, the I/O choke configured to limit a communication bandwidth of the I/O port to a maximum data rate. The one or more processors can be configured to prevent the sensor data from being accessible via any external port of the data-secure camera system, including the I/O port, and allow the descriptive data to be accessible via the I/O port.
