If you were applying for a job working in the LiDAR lab at Valeo it would probably be useful to have familiarised yourself with the following Valeo research paper:

AKIDA BALLISTA
If only Valeo had an agreement with a company producing the first, best in class, commercially available AI neuromorphic chip!

To me it’s a done deal! My plan is to keep accumulating when I have can save some spare coin until it all comes out in 2024!

So these current low prices are doing me a favour. I’m highly doubtful the SP will stay this low forever.

After a year of solid sales through 2024-2025 I’m sure I will be very comfortable with my position!

Cheers!

Great find but you really should supervise your children. They have to learn they can’t just draw on anything. I assume it will come off your screen but they should have to clean it for you. 🤣
FF I let the phone down for 10sec and the buggers have somehow managed to hide the identity of one of the members of the 1000 eyes! What are the chances? I might go do the lotto 😂

To further my confidence in Brainchips success is the National Security Commission on Artificial Intellegence: The final report.

It’s easy reading and outlines a blueprint for the US to follow. It recommends billions and billions of dollars to be spent on all facets of AI: and as quickly as possible!

$$$$$$$$$$$$$

It’s been posted before but all 16 chapters are worth a look:

Hi @Diogenese
Was Biotome looking at identifying Covid from protein markers or am I mixing up my medical technology researchers:


These researchers have identified a protein and are now considering the best way to test for it. There is a device for testing sugar levels
involving a pin prick to the finger and a drop of blood on a strip and that is inserted in the reading device. Something similar with AKIDA doing the on device processing perhaps using Biotome and Cardio algorithms and sensors.

My opinion only DYOR

Evening Chippers,

* Note my holding in the below company is just shy of the top twenty, I am not promoting nor recomending.

DYOR.

Now that that is disclosed , I would like to shed some light on what I have read regarding a small start up called Whitehawk ( ASX: WHK ).

I confess to to being hopeless compared to the 1000 eyes of BRN when it comes to leads but this chap, l belive, would potentialy be worth stalking on LinkedIn etc , keeping a eye on.

WHITEHAWK

StereoSpike: Depth Learning with a Spiking Neural Network

It was collected from two DAVIS346 cameras with a resolution of 346 × 260 pixels, mounted on several vehicles such as a car, a motorbike or a drone. The depth groundtruth was provided by a Velodyne Puck Lite LIDAR mounted on the top of the two event cameras and with a sampling frequency of 20 Hz, hence providing a ground truth depth map every 50 ms.

4.4.1 Target Hardware.
Our model has resolutely been developed in the philosophy of spiking neural networks. As a result, it is essentially implementable on dedicated neuromorphic hardware, such as Intel Loihi [3], IBM TrueNorth [1]. These chips can leverage the binarity and sparsity of spike tensors navigating through the network. In addition, we believe that our model being feedforward and requiring a reset on all of its neurons at each timestep is not a problem, because resetting membrane potentials is actually less costly than applying a leak. Therefore, statelesness can be seen as an advantage over recurrence in spiking models with similar performances. However, we are aware that current neuromorphic chips are initially designed for the implementation of stateful units, and acknowledge that we do not leverage this feature. Consequently, we believe that it rather fits to dedicated hardware for stateless models with sparse activations quantized on 1 bit. We therefore consider that Brainchip’s Akida chip [35] is a good fit. Finally, we would like to emphasize that our class of model with sparse binary activations and less constrained weights provides a good compromise between Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs) and Binary Neural Networks (BNNs).

I have been with whk in the past. Got out at 37 but still watch.

I asked the question of any links with Brn on HC sometime ago with little response.

I’m still thinking possible links. I don’t mind the look of these guys.

Evening Zedjack33,

Yes, I have been with them for a couple or years.

With the utilisation of Brainchips technology thay could , both, seriously gain substantial market capture in the online cyber security sector to the immense benefit of all.

These days I hate answering my phone due to all scampers etc.

Come on BRN release a cyber patch thingsi, and the world will be eternally gratefull.

* I would also like to disclose BRN is by far my favourite stock , with by far & away the greatest potential to exponentially grow.

Bring on the Lilly Pad Affect.

AKUDA BAILISTA.

* I'm waiting on the aquatic ones.

Ha ha.

Just adding to this even though slightly off topic but a cool video by Sandy Munro at the Tesla opening. Boy all the other legacy automakers are behind the 8 ball in electric vehicles compared with Tesla. Hopefully Akida can help some out in some way. You have to hand it to Elon Musk and his team in creating a revolution in electric vehicles. Enjoy

@Fact Finder you know if this went anywhere?

Benosman is co-founder of grAI Matter Labs, but makes a point of disassociating himself with that and other companies he has founded

A possible collaboration by former “rivals”?

There’s a link to a YouTube video “Why is Neuromorphic Event-based Engineering the future of AI?” below in which the BrainChip logo appears on a slide (5:55) - however we are not mentioned explicitly

Further to my previous post, there was in fact another comment which is perhaps more intriguing. I was hoping for a BrainChip connection, but have come up short. I'm sure there is something in here that I am missing. Or not

Anyone know anything about this guy Jonathon Wolfe? His LinkedIn activity is heavily linked to the Western Sydney University International Centre for Neuromorphic Systems, Thale, Thales Alenia Space, Violet Defense, Australian Space Agency and Space Industry Association of Australia - I'm sure he fits in somehow

Hi FF,

Biotome looks for peptides, which, I am reliably informed, are fragments of proteins. As we know, Akida is sensor-agnostic.

https://www.biotome.com.au/general-9

While traditional serology tests use full proteins as markers, Biotome’s precision immunology approach detects antibody binding to small parts of proteins known as peptides, unlocking the high-resolution of the immune system for greater accuracy.

Biotome are adapting a transistor with a graphene field effect transistor in conjunction with Cardea to detect Covid antibodies in blood samples.

US10968481B2 Graphene FET devices, systems, and methods of using the same for sequencing nucleic acids

Basically, the channel between source (39a) & drain (39b) is filled with blood sample solution, and ions in the solution interact with free ions in the graphene layer 30. The concentration of ions in the solution is measured by detecting the current when a known voltage is applied across the source and drain.

The free ions from the graphene make the graphene FET much more sensitive than a normal Si based FET.






across the source and drain.
1649582863451.png


Chemically-sensitive field effect transistors for biosensor chips and system are disclosed. The itransisitors have a multi-layered structure for performing a set of measurements of a biological reaction involving a binding event for one or more biological analytes that may be label-free. The multilayer structure includes a first insulating layer above a substrate layer and a source electrode and a drain electrode disposed positioned over the first insulating layer; a second insulating layer above the first insulating layer and proximate the source and drain electrodes forming side wall members of a well for a fluid comprising the analytes; a 2D graphene layer forming a channel between source and drain electrodes; a solution gate, formed by fluid flowed over the channel, configured to enable determining differences between one or more sample I-Vg curves having a shifted and changed shape relative to a reference curve; embodiments may include ion-selective membranes and/or ion getters.

[0039] ... the FET, e.g., CMOS, structure may include a processor configured for controlling the performance of one or more reactions involving a biological or chemical material so as to obtain reaction results, and for analyzing those results, for instance, based on detecting and/or measuring changes in a voltage (V) potential, current (I), or capacitance occurring on the chemically-sensitive field effect transistor. Particularly, the processor, such as a signal processor, may be configured so as to generate one or more current (I) vs. voltage (V) curves, such as where the current I of the I-V curve is the current applied between the source and drain of the chemically sensitive field effect transistor and/or where the gate voltage (Vg) of the I-Vg curve is a gate or channel voltage applied to the chemically-sensitive field effect transistor. In such an instance, the gate voltage Vg of the I-Vg curve is a top and/or a back gate voltage that may be applied to the chemically sensitive field effect transistor through a top (or front) and/or back of the device, respectively. Hence, a suitably configured device of the disclosure may be adapted as a front and/or back-gated device, which may further be configured as a solution gate. Accordingly, in various embodiments, a device of the disclosure may be a field-effect transistor that includes a chamber adapted for measuring ion concentrations in a solution; such as where, when the ion concentration (such as H+ or OH− in a pH scale) within the chamber changes, the current through the transistor, e.g., a gate region thereof, will change accordingly. In such an instance, the solution, when added to the chamber forms, or otherwise serves as, a gate electrode.


[0121] For instance, in various embodiments, the material layer may be a single layer, 2D material, such as a graphene layer 30 . Particularly, as can be seen with respect to FIG. 1B, graphene is a two-dimensional, monolayer of carbon atoms that are arranged as a lattice structure. This lattice structure forms regular hexagons with a carbon atom at each vertex. In such an instance, the bond length between adjacent carbon atoms may be about 1.42 Å and the lattice constant may be about 2.46 Å. This molecular structure is very unique in that each carbon atom shares one of its four free valence electrons with three of its adjacent and planar carbon atoms such that each of the three planar carbon atoms is orientated at about a 120° with respect to the other three carbon atoms. Such an orientation gives graphene it's honeycomb, lattice structure. Additionally, the fourth valence electron forms a pi bond, perpendicular to the three planar signma-bonded carbon atoms, which is responsible for the unique electronic characteristics of graphene.

[0122] Particularly, the single-layer, two-dimensional structure of graphene gives it at least three important characteristics with respect to its use herein:
it creates the presence of a bandgap, it makes the graphene layer a seimimetal, and it promotes rapid charge transport (mobility and high-field transport) at room temperature. Hence, in various instances, a graphene FET, as herein described performs better as a biological sensor than a typical CMOS-FET device not having such a reaction layer.
For instance, with respect to hybridization detection and/or sequencing, a traditional MOSFET transistor may have fundamental limitations in its sensitivity (due to channel thickness and intervening insulating layers), whereas the present gFET with its single atom thickness can be employed to form a solution gated reaction zone and/or channel, wherein the graphene layer may be in direct contact with the chemical reaction zone. Specifically, the reaction layers may include a 1D, 2D, and/or 3D structure 30 may be configured so as to have a much higher carrier mobility than the typical doped silicon commonly used in MOSFET or ISFET devices. This gives the herein disclosed 1D, 2D, and/or 3D FET sensor devices increased sensitivity to and faster detection of chemical reactions. Further, in various instances, the surface and/or channel 26 may include or make up a dielectric layer, such as for further increasing sensor sensitivity and/or functioning

Hi Esq 111,

I'm sure @Fact Finder can fill you in on the details, but I understand that PvdM is more than a little venture capital averse.

Casting no nasturtiums, Blackstone is chief of those of whom Peter Goodman, the author of Davos Man, How the billionaires devoured the world speaks with disfavour.

That said, I have no knowledge of Whitehawk, and, as you say, given Mr Hibbeln's connexions, any venture with which he is associated would probably have more than a toe in the door.

Good Evening Diogenese,

Appreciate what you are saying, and agree.

The only reason I thought to share this chaps short biography was , amoungst other things , his dabbling in hypersonics together with numerous connections in the upper eschalons of power.
Those that wield the Mont blanc pens.
Nothing to do with his venture capitol side of things.

All good , and cheers for all your technical disipherings, we would be half lost without your input.
