BRN Discussion Ongoing

[Kingkong2015]

Sean made his comment about 9 million this year, which we don't know the details of so is nintendo apart of this .

this 9 mil doesnt include ip revenue. it is for new contracts

Even better then

 

[smoothsailing18]

I do remember the question asked to Sean about new IP revenue this year and he said no. My only thinking is he looking at megachip revenue as not new and already apart of this 9 million due to our deal with megachip is for IP so it could well be apart of the 9 million
.

Turns out i was wrong in my thoughts on Tony's position moving to the US.

Turns out Tony was wrong, in his position being made redundant..

"The name Zena is a feminine name of Greek origin, primarily meaning "belonging to Zeus" or "hospitable". It is a variation of the names Xenia and Zenobia, which have similar meanings"

Interesting name choice and theme ...

Thanks Bravo, I asked Tony D about Brainchip and sports health. I think sports health could in time be huge for us.
Now he has departed i can copy in his response.

"Thank you for your email.

We have already engaged with a number of customers in the sports wearables field, including an Australian company looking to develop protective headgear for AFL/ NRL players to monitor and record head impacts (both concussive and sub-concussive) as a way to better manage the impacts of CTE.

Not all these engagements end up in us achieving a commercial engagement that results in a royalty-bearing IP sales agreement, but each engagement does further the education of the market about the benefits of neuromorphic Edge AI, and the Akida platforms unique capabilities."

Obviously CTE monitoring is just one of many sports health uses that AKIDA can be a part of.

 

[manny100]

As Sean has no way of knowing what royalties will be the $9mill has to be licensing fees.
It would be very nice if any high volume sales product took out a license.

Spectrum and Innatera appear to have a little dig at Pico and also they're hooking up with Socionext, one of our earlier partners (Synquacer?) that appears to have not done much so far other than the first chips

Innatera's Pulsar Chip Could Be a Game-Changer for Ultra-Low-Power AI Sensors

Innatera's Pulsar chip, the first commercial neuromorphic microcontroller, promises ultra-low power AI with 100x lower latency.

Spiking Neural Network Chip for Smarter Sensors

Innatera’s chip promises lower latency and power consumption for edge AI​

What Makes Pulsar Unique in AI Sensors?​

What sets Pulsar apart from other neuromorphic devices, such as BrainChip’s Akida Pico, “is not just building a neuromorphic core, but also the rest of the system around it,” Kumar says. “In the industry, there’s a lot of emphasis on inference, but when their neuromorphic cores speak with the rest of their systems, you see them burning power moving data in and out, and all the energy gains they can bring to the table quickly become irrelevant. We built Pulsar as an engine for efficient processing, not just efficient inference.”

By integrating all these functions together, “it’s the only chip a sensor needs to process data,” Kumar says. This can simplify overall device design, which can reduce the need for complex data signal-processing pipelines, speed up development and time to market, lower maintenance costs, extend battery life and enable submillisecond analysis times.

With submilliwatt power consumption, “Pulsar enables always-on processing of sensor data, even in devices radically constrained by power,” Kumar says. For example, it can enable radar-based presence detection with as little as 600 microwatts and audio scene classification with just 400 µW. In comparison, similar applications using conventional electronics consume 10 to 100 milliwatts, he notes.

Excerpt:

Innatera is partnering with the Japanese system-on-a-chip company Socionext to develop a radar-based sensor that can accurately detect people even if they are standing perfectly still, based on their body motions as they breathe. “It can ignore things like bushes moving in the wind,” Kumar says. “It can extend smart doorbell operations to 18 months per recharge. And since it’s not camera-based and doesn’t store data in the cloud, it helps protect privacy.”

Innatera, has fired clear broadside shots and Brainchip needs to respond.

Can I ask why he wouldn't know ?. My thinking is ( still hopeful but probably confused ) If megachip did put us in nintendo then Sean would know the volume approx at least. Bloody hope we are involved.

 

[DingoBorat]

Maybe they are targeting FF with the last Skill Needed requirement for this employment position .....
being * Existing member of Tsex or HC Forums an advantage.

This is signalling, that they want an "active" Company representative, on the forums?..

Otherwise, why say "existing"..

It was commented on years ago, about a company that had such direct investor forum representation and it seemed to work well for them..

But maybe "that" company is no longer around ..

 

[manny100]

Licensees' would have to provide Sean with their sales estimates before he could estimate royalties in advance. It's unlikely they would share company sensitive information with BRN.
So it's likely the $9mill is for licence fees only. If they are high volume sales customers that would be great for us in royalty terms.

 

[DingoBorat]

those are teardown videos

Do you understand that BrainChip is primarily selling (questionable reference) IP and not chips (for the most part) and that the MegaChips licence is for IP and not chips?

Nintendo is one of MegaChips biggest customers.

I'm willing to bet, that there has "never" been something in a Nintendo product, that has "MegaChips" plastered over it, nor would there (need to) be a chip, in any product that contains BrainChip's IP, that says "AKIDA" or "BrainChip" other than products like Bascom Hunters, which are 1st Generation models, using OTSCs.

None of this is to say, that we are or aren't in it, but at this stage, no one here can say categorically, that we are or aren't.

 

[smoothsailing18]

I wonder if we can ask BRN if they would mind putting a clause in their NDAs saying after one year of sales within any product we can be announced as being inside
Sure would help the prices move along

It sure is using alot of data going back and forth if it isn't using edge LLM technology, specifically neuromorphic compute. Iam not technical so i could be talking nonsense however I do believe TENNS could be of use here ?.

 

[Food4 thought]

So on linked in
Posted by Brainchip again is the Trim report
I don’t get it
Why would you be so proud of this report when it actually devalues your sp from previous reports

What is going on?
I am lost at the direction these apparently amazing board members take

Any clues anybody

Nintendo is expected to sell between 13 to 15 million units this year @ $700 so if I did my sums right and we were to receive $9 million that works out @ 0.7% royalty per unit if they sold 14 million and with over 150 million switch 1 sold and if we are part off the new console, it could generate close to $100 million in royalties if they sell the same amount of new console

Well Mr Pom I like your thinking mate. I personally recon were in the devise 100 % and if so we should see megachip pop up in the next financials in full or partially, which I believe by law BRN must announce we're their funds come from in any quartly breakdown ?.
This place nintendo as the main contender IMO

 

[Bravo]

I don’t think AKIDA is in the Nintendo Switch 2, simply because of what Sean said at the AGM.

Correct me if I’m wrong but I believe he said that the bookings that his bonus will be tied to this year would be US$9mil. “Bookings” meaning contract signed, and or purchase order in hand.

Then he was also asked about “royalties” this year and he replied that it was unlikely but possible. I don’t think he was being asked about royalties arising specifically from new bookings, but just royalties in general.

It was this statement about royalties being unlikely that made me think we can rule out the possibility of AKIDA being in the Switch 2.

Sally my gut interpretation as well to be honest Hopefully iam wrong .
I just wonder about this C button thingy
Very confusing would someone tell WTF is going on.
