The only issue I take with his summary is that it was 1,024 AKD1,000’s that could be connected but in the end for the markets they are serving they went with the capacity to COTS up to 64.

Great work in accessing this paper FMF.

Right everyone is avoiding it but what is a realistic bottom to this share price?
Semiconductors are up on the Nasdaq but somehow we continue to slide.

Hi Chilling,

Click anywhere on the graph below, for charting.
Select Indicator button on the graph.
Look for Relative Strength Indicator.
Look at the graph. Once the indicator hits 29 it should bounce back.

I think we are going to get a bounce soon 90c (61.8)approx was my target for BRN to turn if no annoucements.However never under estimate the mongrels who orchestrate this shit,to crush it lower -if they can they will.Make no mistake I believe "they" want in badly.

Hi SG,

I think this is unalloyed good news.

In 2019, a paper was published by Valeo on the subject of SNNs:

https://arxiv.org/abs/1903.02080

Exploring Deep Spiking Neural Networks for Automated Driving Applications
Sambit Mohapatra1 , Heinrich Gotzig1 , Senthil Yogamani2 , Stefan Milz3 and Raoul Zollner ¨ 4

2Valeo Vision Systems, Ireland

{sambit.mohapatra,heinrich.gotzig,senthil.yogamani,stefan.milz}@valeo.com, raoul.zoellner@hs-heilbronn.de

Keywords: Visual Perception, Efficient Networks, Automated Driving.

Abstract: Neural networks have become the standard model for various computer vision tasks in automated driving including semantic segmentation, moving object detection, depth estimation, visual odometry, etc. The main flavors of neural networks which are used commonly are convolutional (CNN) and recurrent (RNN). In spite of rapid progress in embedded processors, power consumption and cost is still a bottleneck. Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs) are gradually progressing to achieve low-power event-driven hardware architecture which has a potential for high efficiency. In this paper, we explore the role of deep spiking neural networks (SNN) for automated driving applications. We provide an overview of progress on SNN and argue how it can be a good fit for automated driving applications.

...

[see Table 1]:
Finally SNNs can be queried for results anytime after the first spikes are produced at the output since information processing is not frame based (Rueckauer et al., 2017). Several implementations of deep SNNs on neuromorphic hardware such as SpiNNaker and BrainChip have demonstrated sensor applications that support this potential of SNNs.

Now we looked at Spinnaker a couple of weeks ago. Spinnaker is a warehouse full of ARM processors used for research, so I doubt that Valeo is using that in their SCALA Lidar ADAS system.

 

[Fact Finder]

Well there are those who want 80 cents. So who is selling down the share price those who want it to go to the $2.00 at least fair value or those who want 80 cents. Will they be happy with 80 cents if they achieve it and can sell it down further who knows as their greed and capacity for unconscionable manipulation knows no bounds. But as I have said the shares on the Brainchip bus go up and down. Up and down. Nothing like predicting something then making it happen then claiming to be Nostradamus.

At present only 1 percent of shares on issue have been traded today. It is not rocket science to understand that long term investors do not influence or control the price in any fashion when low volumes are being traded.

So it is just a question of time as it has been before and sentiment will change either here or overseas or both and buyers will move in again but with each opportunistic institutional purchase of the right kind at these levels the available shares for that bounce will reduce and the bounce will be higher again.

Puto has wound this spring tighter than it has ever been before considering what the 1,000 Eyes have revealed and what is in the pubic domain from Brainchip and its known customers and sure as night follows day the next price sensitive announcement of significance will release this spring.

This happy clapper will keep clapping the science and fundamentals of this company and those who manager it well beyond this next announcement and all the way to Mars and back.

Hi Dio

You deserve both Love and Fire for this reveal when tied together with the Valeo EAP, the statement of Peter van der Made about working with an OEM supplier in Europe on an implementation and the Former CEO Mr. Dinardo's now famous quote "We are finding a sweet spot with Lidar." You would need to have the intellect of an amoeba not to accept that Valeo is using AKIDA technology in its next generation Lidar and that Mercedes is not already a Valeo signed up AKIDA flag waving customer.

"Alloyed meaning - complete and unreserved"

So Brainers @Diogenese has stated this link to Valeo is 'complete and unreserved good news' and there is no Ogre in sight, no footprints or even the faint whiff of Ogre in the breeze so I would say that Slade might well be right that it was time to pop the cork.

Those who have sold in fear should have had a plan. Pantene has never been a more appropriate word.

Thanks Dio for the confirmation. I’ve been convinced for quite a while Brainchip is in Valero’s version 3 Lidar which is just one reason I have complete confidence in my investment. Just trying to allay the fears of others not so sure!

Of course I could be wrong: I rather humiliatingly only got 3/8 right in the NRL tips last week

Just got to wait until 2024 for the unveiling however I’m confident the returns will be huge and worth it regardless of what’s going on now!

Peace

Need a small favour. Do you have a screen shot of the five senses with Lidar Radar and one other slide used by the CEO Sean Hehir in his latest presentation?

Suspect it will move down to 50c range given they don't allow announcements of any kind. Running blind apart from speculative commentary.

See the down-rampers are starting to migrate.

Thanks JK I could not remember the third one Ultrasound. I know I saw somewhere a reference to infrared technology and AKIDA and this would fit with the post by @Alfie above and the part I have extracted below. Will throw it over to the 1,000 Eyes and keep looking.

"From a technical standpoint, the facial recognition system works via near-infrared technology, to enable diver identification at night or in other unfavorable lighting conditions."

By the way I have no doubt AKIDA would work with infrared technology but it would be great to have a specific reference.

I might flick a question to Brainchip as well.

I would not be surprised if Magik Eye and BrainChip worked together to provide a solution for Valeo. We haven't heard a peep out of Magik Eye (I think Magik Eye technology is suited to Valeo's Near Field Lidar system)

Back in August 2020 we had a BrainChip announcement that stated;
"MagikEye’s Invertible Light provides the smallest, fastest and most power-efficient 3D depth sensing. This is done using a standard CMOS image sensor and a regular dot projector along with a proprietary and patented technique to produce 3D point cloud data. Coupled with the Akida neuromorphic processor, the companies intend to jointly provide a total 3D vision solution to customers for fast 3D object detection and recognition in applications, including robotics, automotive and emerging consumer products, such as AR/VR and others. The MagikEye technology addresses the need for devices to see clearly and understand the surrounding environment, which is critical for new classes of 3D vision applications. The BrainChip Akida neuromorphic processor efficiently utilizes AI to gather new insights from the 3D data."

The terms of the agreement were stated as:
"This partnership is for one year and can be extended by mutual consent of the parties. It starts with joint marketing services to promote compatibility that could lead to customers for each company. The agreement does not define any material conditions that need to be satisfied by either company."

I would love to know if the partnership with Magik Eye has been extended. Does anyone know?

 

[CrimpyChicken]

The price went very high and in a very attention grabbing way. I think the buzz has dispersed and the hot money is pulling out and flowing elsewhere, in conjunction with growth generally taking a pounding since the start of the year.

Just wondering how low we can go before the next good piece of news. I am still happy with my core holding but am going to play the game of limbo with the price before buying more.

Hi Slade
Some time last year I asked and received a response something like the parties remain engaged or words to that effect but it was very brief and clearly designed not to be of great use at that stage. After my interaction someone it might have been Stan of the broker data fame asked Tony Dawe and received a reply that they were still engaged but this is not my clearest ever recollection as I think this post was modified as unsubstantiated if I have the facts correct. Beyond that these vague pieces of information I cannot assist further.
