Hello everyone, I enjoy reading here and I am always amazed at the great work being done here. I have already written to Eufy in the last few days and asked if our chip was installed, this is the answer.Are eufy real? Is "self-learning AI" a eufy-mism for Akida?

Now they have just got to work out how to dump a few autocrats and unethical lobbyists on there at the same time.

It must be to keep our attention like the dramatic peaks in a movie plot. I think we can pick a few points of contention.

If ARM was an arm, BRN would be its biceps💪!
Given the recent disappionting news, I thought it would help lift my mood to listen to Anita Ward singing Ring My Bell. Oh boy, was I wrong! Here’s the first verse.
I'm glad you're home
Now did you really miss me?
I guess you did by the look in your eye
(Look in your eye, look in your eye)
Well lay back and relax
While I put away the dishes
Could this day get any worse?
Yeah - but who did the washing up?

I think she mistook ‘the look in his eye‘ as missing her, but in reality he was thinking “why is she putting those plates of left-over prawns and beef jerky back into the cupboard”.

A couple of points regarding the article:
- maybe the author could expand on the term 'so called neuromorphic processor'.
- it would be reasonable to expect a granted patent goes some way to protect what it describes particularly if it has already been practically implemented in some form, especially in conjunction with a significant commercial partner/s (open to correction)
- only mention of the macro economic issues which seems to have had more of an impact on established tech companies and no mention of BRN's balance sheet
- not sure describing the company as 'the Australians' is that accurate. Certainly listed and founded here but it's certainly not the only place things are happening
- all real technological breakthroughs are directly related to the size of the R&D budget? I'm doubtful.
Successfully commercialising the technology might be more effected by budget but it depends on lots of things like entire R&D timeline, patents, company funding, agility in taking up and beneficially structuring opportunities, company culture/vision, overall business model, NDAs, eco-system integration strategy and fostering/attracting talent.
- the usual suggestion of potential for takeover and good for a small bet even though the author seems suspicious about there being no 'apparent' offer
As though a risky bet is all BRN has to offer. And yet they have noted a number of significant partnerships...... me no understand.
For the record I (and many here) don't think a takeover at all likely and IMO a worst case scenario. Joint ventures and diverse licencing/royalties and an exciting and innovative future seem to me to be far more likely so why would you sell out.

The scope of protection of a patent is determined precisely by what is defined in the patent claims. The independent claims should be drafted to encompass all possible embodiments of the inventive concept.
Leaving aside the 12 months grace period in some countries, a patent cannot protect something that has already been practically implemented in some form. That would lack the required qualities of novelty and inventiveness.
As to the proposition that inventiveness is proportional to R&D, we have dealt with that shibboleth some time ago, so your doubts are justified. The author is a journalist with an economics background. Economists insist the world should work according to their theories, and sometimes there is a gap between economic theory and reality. [That is the mildest statement of my besetting hobbyhorse that I've ever written - normally there would be a reference to scatalogical bovine in the same breath as free market fundamentalism]
The specter of a takeover was also raised in the famous "What's A Neuromorphic Computer Anyway?" discussion. The general consensus was that the founders would not entertain an offer at the current levels.

Yes I do consider the takeover subject a very tiresome non-issue.
In regard to patents what I meant was once granted and then implemented by the assignee or in conjunction with a partner in a novel implementation. Wouldn't this strengthen their claim to the IP beyond the initial patent grant?
Yes and to use my favourite quote from Aliens completely out of context (just because I can at 2.30am) I'll say economic theory and reality 'Mostly' don't coincide especially via the medium of a political advisor...... mostly.

Hello my fellow members,
I don't know if this is even interesting, but I found this on a German news channel today.
www.n-tv.de
The German government and industry want global semiconductor companies to invest in Germany. Now a major project is on the horizon.
The Taiwanese semiconductor company TSMC is pushing ahead with plans for its own production in Germany. According to information from "Capital," the chip giant is considering building a plant in the Dresden area. Other chip manufacturers have already set up production facilities there in recent years. In order to explore the possibilities in Germany, a TSMC delegation is to travel to Saxony before the end of October.
Own semiconductor infrastructure EU wants to counter chip shortage with billion-dollar package
TSMC's soundings could be an important step in an attempt to make Germany more independent of global supply chains when it comes to its supply of semiconductors. Bottlenecks resulting from the Corona pandemic had led to a chip shortage for months, especially for German automakers. The German automotive industry is apparently pushing hard for TSMC to locate in Germany. The plan, according to Taiwanese media, is to manufacture using the technology of modern 300-millimeter wafers - the disks on which chips are mounted.
TSMC is the world's largest contract manufacturer of semiconductors, but has concentrated much of its production in Taiwan. In the wake of tensions with China, pressure is mounting on the group to build fabs in the U.S. and EU as well. Regarding European plans, a company spokesman said "no concrete decision has been made yet." TSMC referred to a period of silence before its next financial report, which will be presented tomorrow, Thursday.
*Data protection
The Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology would not confirm TSMC's specific interest when asked. However, the federal government is willing to provide extensive support for semiconductor manufacturers to locate in the country. The goal is to "increase research and production capacities in Germany and the EU and to support the industry through good framework conditions to diversify their supply chains more strongly," a ministry spokeswoman said.
In mid-March, U.S. chipmaker Intel announced plans to build a gigafactory in Magdeburg. The project is to be subsidized under the European Chips Act - a law to strengthen semiconductor manufacturing in the EU.

Move on, nothing to see.
Here’s an interesting article talking of the future of ReRAM. Spoiler: it thinks it is a grand future
The future of memory—the time for reram
Here’s an extract relevant to BrainChip—and the reason I initially encouraged WeeBit and BranChip to talk, which they have now done BTW.
“3+ YEARS IN THE FUTURE: RERAM IN EDGE AI
At the same time, we will start to see ReRAM in Edge AI applications, used not only for code storage, but also to store the synaptic weights needed for artificial neural network (NN) calculations. Regardless of the specific application, storing these weights requires significant on-chip memory (between 10Mb and 100Mb, depending on the network size). These higher capacities for ReRAM are still a few years out on the horizon, but the timing will be right to intersect the market need.Today it’s possible to use clever algorithms on DRAM or SRAM for inference at the Edge, but because of ever stricter power and cost envelopes, it’s becoming increasingly difficult to make this work. One issue is that DRAM and SRAM are volatile, and an increasing number of applications need to monitor the environment and then quickly wake up from standby mode. What’s needed is embedded NVM that can do the same level of inference as SRAM or DRAM but at extremely low power and low cost: ReRAM. In addition, because a ReRAM cell is approximately three to four times smaller than a typical SRAM cell, significantly more memory can be integrated on-chip to support larger neural networks for the same die size and cost.
As much of the power consumption needed for NNs is related to data movement between a system’s computing elements and memory modules, the industry is also investigating ways to reduce this data movement by integrating dense, low-power NVM like ReRAM closer to the computing elements.”

Sorry if mention before..........but is it diffrent to Akida IP?
Considering our great mutual partnership with Prophesee would we naturally be involved with this partnership or are iCatch only using Prophesee in another way…I’m confused hereiCatch have been working with Prophesee and Sony to develop their SoC. Maybe ( hope ) we are involved. What car maker?
iCatch Technology provides driver monitoring system (DMS) solutions
As electric vehicle and ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance System) continue to penetrate the market, iCatch Technology also has been investing lots of resources in imaging-based ADAS technology and business development. How do you ensure that the driver is still paying attention to the road...www.digitimes.com
iCatch Technology provides driver monitoring system (DMS) solutions
iCatch's Intelligent Imaging SoC has been selected by a leading European car maker as the core processor of its DMS and has already entered mass production.
iCatch has co-developed EVS-based intelligent vision processing system with Sony Semiconductor Solutions (SSS) and Prophesee. When this solution is applied to DMS application, not only can it track driver's gaze and alertness with high accuracy and fast response rate using the embedded deep learning accelerator but also can protect driver's privacy.
. This article from May but noting now that this chip has recently been mass produced into a European car manufacturer for their driver monitoring system. 
Now iCatch has collaborated with Prophesee on Event-based Metavision sensing projects that integrated iCatch’s V57 AI vision processor with the new Sony Semiconductor Solutions (“SSS”) stacked Event-based Vision Sensor IMX636, realized in collaboration between SSS and Prophesee.
iCatch built the OpenMVCam development platform for all algorithm partners and ODM customers to design a variety of AI products, systems and applications on many market segments like surveillance, smart healthcare, in-cabin monitor system, smart home, industrial automation, smart city and so on.
SSS’s Event-based Vision Sensor can be the input source for iCatch AI vision processor, based on iCatch built-in NPU acceleration engine and proprietary CV processing hardware engine. It can integrate Prophesee Metavision Intelligence SDK and other 3rd party’s machine vision algorithms to support end customers’ AI vision applications such as DMS and OMS in automotive in-cabin, patient/elder fall detection in home healthcare and hospitals, intruder detection in home surveillance, anomaly detection in industrial automation, gesture control in smart home appliance, eye tracking in AR/VR and so on.
