IMAGO Technologies Captivates the Audience with Event-Based Vision at SPS 2023

The excitement at the SPS Show in Nuremberg continues to soar, and IMAGO Technologies is once again at the forefront of innovation with their groundbreaking Vision Cam EB demo. This revolutionary solution introduces the transformative power of Event-based vision, empowering industries to achieve unprecedented levels of efficiency, precision, and reliability.

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭-𝐁𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐕𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧?
Event-based vision is a groundbreaking technology that mimics
the human eye's ability to perceive and react to dynamic changes in the
environment. Unlike traditional frame-based vision systems, which capture and process entire frames of images, Event-based cameras only capture and transmit data when there is a change in the scene. This results in a significantly reduced data stream, making it ideal for high-speed applications and low-latency environments.

𝐁𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐟𝐢𝐭𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭-𝐁𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐕𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧
𝐇𝐢𝐠𝐡-𝐒𝐩𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠:
Process data at ultra-high speeds, enabling real-time detection and reaction to dynamic events.
𝐋𝐨𝐰 𝐋𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐲:
Respond to changes in the environment with minimal delay, ensuring immediate corrective actions.
𝐑𝐞𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐞𝐝 𝐃𝐚𝐭𝐚 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐮𝐦𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧:

Thank you for your feedback FF. Much appreciated. I haven’t been following BrainChip as closely as I used to, from time to time I check things on TSex and like many I try to focus on posts of substance and not get tripped up by the bitter salty posts. I am appreciative of those that continue to share the findings of their research efforts. Personally I am at a point where I am happy to wait for revenue to kick in, which I believe will come in 2024. I no longer feel the need to obsess over when specifically this is going to happen. I obviously didn’t attend any of the meetings with our CEO but I must say that I am very happy that he made the effort to meet with some genuine shareholders. I see this as a big positive. I’m also glad that someone pushing a ‘we’ve been scammed’ line did not attend.
Anyway, back to my glass of milk and bacon sandwich.

 

[Fact Finder]

Hi FF. Great access and thanks for the update. Couple of questions:

Did the invite state what was the purpose of the meeting?

Did Tony Dawe disclose what was the selection criteria for determining which retail shareholders would attend the meeting?

What was execs response to investors concerns re shorters and lack of communication?

Can anyone from Perth or Melbourne who attended give a similar update or learn anything new?

Hi ET
1. That the CEO was interested in meeting retail shareholders.

2. No I have no idea how Tony Dawe or the CEO decided I was appropriate to invite. Tony Dawe did remember that my wife has health issues which prevented me attending the last AGM and that I had never met Sean Hehir.

3. Geoff Carrick did most of the heavy lifting on why they don’t use the ASX more often and he and I had a debate about the GetSwift appeal and it’s ramifications. The overall takeaway was that they are strictly applying the ASX rules but understand they need to do more to improve retail shareholder communications. Geoff Carrick and Sean Hehir both agreed that the current share price did not represent fair value and that with AKIDA 2.0 and the deep engagements they have in play that eventually the share price issue will be resolved by commercial progress. They declined to nominate a time frame. I believe that Sean Hehir was genuinely concerned to improve shareholder communications and is looking to come to Australia more often.

I think this exhausts everything I can say about this subject so your request to others will be the only way further information may be forthcoming.

My opinion only DYOR

Good afternoon,

It's clear to me and others that Sean has wound back a little on saying Akida 1000 was too narrow in it's offering, there has since been some
padding introduced to soften that original comment, which I personally took offence to on Peters behalf.

Akida 1000 was delayed by about 1 year after the company listened to and adopted changes that were suggested by our early adopters,
most importantly developing the brilliant CNN2SNN to reach out an olive branch to make the transition over to SNN as painless as possible.

Native SNN is our long game, anyone here willing to say otherwise, well then, go for it...I know the truth.

Interesting how the Perth boys have been told to zip it over the years when we have our little get togethers with Brainchip Executives, as in,
it's all secret sauce, don't say a word, like when Sean turned up in Western Australia unannounced, stayed at the Hilton and meet with local
shareholders at a secret location, for god sake, that's why I personally stopped attending.

Now you've got FF name dropping over a Sydney meet up...what have the Perth boys got from Research (Brain) Headquarters ? nothing ?

I have been in touch with Mikhail Asavkin, the Founder of ANT61...passed on our congratulations and followed up today with a question
or two, but totally respect that he may not be able to comment on what I have asked him, I'll let the forum know if I hear back in the positive.

As FF has eluded to, we are still on a major winner, and have been growing and growing despite our share price suggesting otherwise, my
confidence level has never waned (well maybe slightly) but like many already know, our fundamentals are very solid, and yes, I can confirm
I still haven't sold any further shares, unlike some I could name, good luck traders.

Hi Tech

There was a Perth catch up in November that followed immediately after the Sydney and Melbourne catch ups. It was much smaller in numbers than the usual catch ups.

I didn't count but would guess 8-10 shareholders. Sean, Tony, Peter and Pia were in attendance.

I'm late to respond to your post so I will direct you to the commentary FF has provided on the Sydney meeting.

Perth was much the same.

It was at the usual Bar but this time it was in a private section out the back in the dining area with everyone sitting around one large round table. The setting made it feel a little more formal than the previous catch ups but it was very informal. It was a lot easier to hear so ran smoothly.

Sean welcomed us and then effectively opened the floor immediately to questions. The next 45 minutes was a conversation steered by our questions. Sean answered everything he was able to legally answer.

I can confirm that the concerns raised by shareholders mirrored exactly those concerns FF mentioned that the Sydney crew raised (predominantly communication and lack of ASX announcements and efforts from the company to stop price manipulation).

I don't have much else to add, the points FF raised in his summary align to the conversations we had so it seems across the country, shareholders are asking the same questions.

Sean finished with a 15 minute summary of what he's been doing lately, where he's headed after Australia (Japan and Korea from memory before back to the US).

Sean reiterated they've never been more busy with engagements and he's never had more confidence that they are on the right path to creating a successful company.

I couldn't hang around after the formal part of the catch up and so missed out on grabbing a beer with everyone which was unfortunate.

Cheers

I attended one of the meetings and I share FF’s view.
FF myself and others grilled Sean on better communication and Sean agreed that there can be better communication and that he will try to attend Australia more often!
He also said he was hoping to be back before the next AGM!!

FYI: On the conference website, the session to which Pia Turcinov had been invited as a speaker, is missing the first and last panellist from your screenshot and also lists a different moderator. Unfortunately there was nothing else to find out, even when clicking that unmistakeable red Find Out More button.

Pia Turcinov AM - Indo-Pacific Space & Earth Conference

spaceandearthconference.com

Despite ending up in that cul-de-sac, I was still in dot-joining mood, so I had a closer look at Fund WA instead, where Pia Turcinov is a General Partner. They describe themselves as a “Seed To Series-A venture fund in Western Australia” and their mission statement is “to back the state’s innovative, high growth and scalable opportunities at the early commercialisation stages.”

So far, Fund WA has invested in two local start-ups (in August 2023 resp Sept 2023). The second one, medtech and biosensor company VitalTrace (www.vitaltrace.com.au), looks as if it was right up our alley, even though there is no specific mention of neuromorphic technology.

The people behind this innovative start-up based in Perth are hoping to commercialise their continuous scalp lactate monitoring DelivAssure biosensor, a real-time fetal distress monitoring device to detect hypoxia (lack of oxygen) in babies during labour, which they claim is superior to cardiotocography (CTG), the current gold standard of intrapartum (during childbirth) fetal monitoring. According to VitalTrace, DelivAssure will help clinicians to easily identify fetal distress during labour, allowing them to take early action to prevent complications such as brain damage, and at the same time reduce unnecessary C-sections.

Perth cardiologist A/Prof Dr Michael Nguyen, another General Partner of Fund WA, recently posted a short clip (worth watching) of VitalTrace being featured on Seven Network.

VitalTrace featured on Channel 7 | Michael Nguyen

Thank you Seven network for promoting such a great company and the efforts of its founders. Thanks FundWA for supporting this innovation ecosystem.

www.linkedin.com

I subsequently searched for ‘VitalTrace’ here on TSE, which yielded one result: @Fact Finder had already come across this Perth start-up about 1.5 years ago.

Even if VitalTrace did not yet know about Akida back then, they would have found out about Brainchip’s disruptive tech by now through Pia Turcinov. Whether they are actually implementing it or not remains to be seen.

There is of course also the possibility that Fund WA invested in VitalTrace for the very reason the team behind the start-up plans on implementing Akida into their DelivAssure biosensor, on their mission “to create a new global standard of care for keeping mothers and babies safe during childbirth” and that Pia Turcinov and her investment partners are convinced that the resulting tech is going to be a winning combination, enabling the start-up founders’ vision for the novel biosensor to become an indispensable device for obstetricians and midwives around the globe, saving lives and helping to prevent birth complications due to hypoxia and avoiding unnecessary emergency C-sections. And all of this resulting in a massive decrease in healthcare costs, too.

While Brainchip is not (or not yet? another company behind an NDA?) listed as one of VitalTrace’s partners, I noticed both the University of Western Australia as well as the Perron Institute for Neurological and Translational Science in Perth are, and we have connections to both institutions through the three members on our Scientific Advisory Board: Prof Adam Osseiran, Professor Barry Marshall as well as Prof Alan Harvey. Of course there are also countless other potential (non BRN-related) connections between VitalTrace and the Perron Institute resp UWA. Unfortunately, I couldn’t spot any of our SAB member names on the university project pages I found (eg https://research-repository.uwa.edu...el-monitoring-device-to-detect-hypoxia-during and more links to collaborations with UTS and Monash over a three year period from 01/01/2022-31/12/2024), but they could still have put VitalTrace in touch with Brainchip or vice versa.

And even if Brainchip is not involved, I sincerely hope this innovative Perth start-up will be successful in commercialising their invention.

WA-based venture fund Fund WA has announced its second investment from its first fund in backing Perth-based medtech and biosensor company VitalTrace.
The former WA Innovator of the Year winners (2021, Wesfamers Wellbeing Award) co-founders Dr Arjun Kaushik and Dr Michael Challenor are leading cutting-edge research and developing manufacturing capability, all focused on solving a serious problem that is worth $3b per annum.

A recent event hosted by VitalTrace to celebrate the investment was an opportunity for FundWA investors to meet some of the team and hear about the most recent milestones reached in commercialising their world-first DelivAssurebiosensor.

VitalTrace team. Image supplied.

Support from our latest investment round allows us to accelerate towards our first clinical trials, build out our nation-first biosensor manufacturing plant and lay the foundations for a global biosensor company. Having a local team of investors like FundWA who are completely aligned with our mission to make childbirth safer for everyone around the globe is priceless.
Dr Arjun Kaushik, CEO of VitalTrace

Glenn Butcher, CEO and one of the four General Partners of Fund WA said he was happy to support an investment to create a new global standard of care for keeping mothers and babies safe during childbirth.
“This is a WA startup, based here, manufacturing from here and taking this ground-breaking technology to the world, from WA,” he said.

“Our investment in VitalTrace is a commitment to supporting transformative West Australian innovation that can enhance the lives of countless individuals. Our focus is on high growth potential and is not limited to any specific industry sectors. We firmly believe investable talent can come from anywhere.”

Earlier this year FundWA received support through the WA State Government’s New Industries Fund, from the Department of Jobs, Tourism, Science and Innovation which has provided some operational funding for the first three years to assist in the establishment of the fund under the WA Ventures Support (WAVES) pilot program.

To date, FundWA has vetted over 160 startup companies in WA and is actively encouraging early conversations with founders looking to scale through venture capital funding.

To further expand on my post now I have some time to grab the info.

The snips below are from a NASA paper Aug last year that outlines the RadNeuro Project that we know we have been involved in with other partners and the hardware issues.

NASA refers to neuromorphic chips / computing as NMC and can see why someone like Alphacore etc may want to get a rad hard chip in there....how our SNN IP would be affected (if at all)....above my pay grade @Diogenese

Perhaps the meetings with certain shareholders were based on the amount of shares they hold and that for you not being invited is because you don't hold a significant % of shares. I didn't get a invite and don't hold a significant holding compared to say the top 50 and would expect a invite.
