An example SPR detection system includes a first prism having a first surface adjacent to a first metal layer exposed to a sample gas, and a second prism having a second surface adjacent to a second metal layer exposed to a reference gas. At least one light source is configured to provide respective beams to the first and second surfaces, where each of the beams causes SPR of a respective one of the metal layers. At least one photodetector is configured to measure a reflection property of reflections of the respective beams from the metal layers during the SPR. A controller is configured to determine whether a target gas is present in the sample gas based on a known composition of the reference gas and at least one of an electrical property of the first and second metal layers during the SPR and the reflection property of the metal layers.

A selective intrusion detection system includes a Doppler transceiver configured and adapted to receive Doppler return signals indicative of moving targets present in a surveillance space. A processor is operatively connected to the Doppler transceiver to convert Doppler return signals into spectrograms and to determine whether any given spectrogram is indicative of presence of a human or another moving target, like a domestic pet. An alarm is operatively connected to the processor, wherein the processor and alarm are configured to provide an alert in the event the processor determines any given spectrogram is indicative of a human, and to forego providing an alert in the event the processor determines any given spectrogram is indicative of another moving target only.

The action is applied to the environment. A reward token indicative of alignment between the action and a desired result is received. A policy parameter of the control system is updated based on the reward token. The updated policy parameter is applied to determine a subsequent action responsive to a subsequent observation.
