This makes no sense.The timing and structure of the last 4c was unfortunate. It created a lot of uncertainty. People need to remember everyone aren't true believers like we are in here. We're only a small micro system of shareholders with our own investment strategies. Don't let your thinking on what happens in the real world get trapped inside the TSE bubble.
Extended evaluations, decreased budgets, delayed introduction of new technology, these conditions have created a headwind in the CEO statement followed by the next paragraph under "Financial Update" US$24.6m in cash compared to US$28.4m in prior quarter, receipts from customers of US$0.1m a decrease of US$1.1m from Q2-22 only reinforced the CEO statement in a lot of investors minds creating a lot of uncertainty.
Unsurprisingly, the large drop in share price reflected the uncertainty. I've been patiently waiting for this opportunity unsure it would ever eventuate. I'll be buying again today for the 3rd day in a row.
I know readers on this site are the most informed shareholders of BRN but all I'm saying is we don't control the SP so don't be surprised on how it reacts. BRN has a lot of inexperienced retail investors caught up in the hype who are prone to panic. Insto's have a complete different set of KPI's and investment strategy. They don't like uncertainty.Yes in this bubble there is knowledge that leads to belief what a shame.
The thing is the world is full of people who look for gas leaks with a lit match.
I am afraid to say it but the world is populated by people who have no idea.
A company with limited resources should best devote them to its strategic plan and leave the hand holding to large successful companies like Berkshire Hathaway and Amazon but wait that tactic did not work for them either.
Warren Buffet & Charlie Munger are World famous for their investor Q&A held in a 10,000 seat auditorium but despite this and making a profit they are sold down.
The bottom line is most retail will pour water into acid and complain when it spits all over them despite the fact the pool guy told them never to do it.
If you are buying shares on the stock market without doing your own due diligence the only thing to say is you are a fool with money who will be soon parted from it by the likes of MF and others. TSEx bubble or not.
My opinion only DYOR

AKIDA BALLISTA
We could control it if we all got together in an illegal group and bought BRN in large packages together at the same time. However it is illegal and this is a joke and no one should do thisI know readers on this site are the most informed shareholders of BRN but all I'm saying is we don't control the SP so don't be surprised on how it reacts. BRN has a lot of inexperienced retail investors caught up in the hype who are prone to panic. Insto's have a complete different set of KPI's and investment strategy. They don't like uncertainty.
As you know, BRN is cutting edge and a difficult stock to get your head around the tech. It's impossible for most shareholders, insto's and myself included, to have an in-depth knowledge unless you spend countless hours for months on a site like this. Most don't have the time so they rely on their own tried and tested KPI's and analysis from company announcements. A 4c saying headwinds together with quarterly sales of only $100k threw up a lot of red flags in their minds.
There is no point labouring on about it. I'm busy trying to separate those said fools with their money.
What, all this fuss for nothingThey put revenue in 4C's these days?![]()
Morning everyone,
I was reading through an article published yesterday about Mercedes' New C-Class (W206) and something popped out at me which is that they refer to the the infotainment system as "MBUX NTG7 infotainment system". I wondered why it would be called NTG7 and came across the HARMAN NTG7 PREMIUM Infotainment System User Manual (link below) which looks like it has only been uploaded to the Harman site in the last week or so.
I haven't had a chance to download the pdf yet to see if there's anything juicy in there, howver at this stage I'm suspecting that Mercedes use Harman for cars that require smaller screens and LG for the much larger Hypercreen, thus the need for the NTG7 distinction??
Extract 1
For years, Mercedes-Benz has been bringing us cars that exude extraordinary design, luxurious comfort and innovative technology features. As the country’s largest and leading luxury carmaker, it has continuously ensured that driving a Mercedes-Benz is an experience in itself by establishing benchmarks on vital fronts of automotive design. Now, once again, the brand has set expectations soaring with the launch of the all-new 5th Generation C-Class that proves itself to be a vehicle par excellence in the luxury sedan segment. The New C-Class (W206) underlines Mercedes-Benz’s significant prowess in creating world-class products, which combines the most desirable package of luxurious comfort and sportiness, in addition to being highly digital and sustainable.
Extract 2
High on technology

The new C-Class adopts its technology prowess from the new S-Class, making it one of the most futuristic cars in the Mercedes-Benz stable. It comes with the MBUX NTG7 infotainment system, which is currently only on the S-Class and the Maybach. It offers enhanced personalization options, intuitive operation, biometric authentication, wireless smartphone integration, Car to X Communication, and over-the-air updates with software that is always kept up to date. With all this and more, there’s so much that the brand-new C-Class allows you to do. [PR(1]
Customers can have up to seven personal user profiles loaded on a vehicle with settings spanning across seat and steering position, ambient lighting setting, AC temperature and mirror settings can be accessed instantly upon login.
The car comes with a hi-resolution central display 30.2 cm (11.9 inch) LCD Touchscreen which is further tilted towards the driver by 6°– 7°. A high quality free, standing driver LCD display of 31.2 cm (12.3 inch) shows you all information in an easy to read format.
To add to the experience, the look of the screen can be individualized with three display styles Classic, Performance and Understated) and three modes (Navigation, Assistance, Service). In " Performance", for example, the colour red is predominant, and the central rev counter has a dynamic design. The full-screen navigation is adapted from the S-Class and gives the driver the best possible guidance on a journey. Additionally, the MBUX navigation helps customer reach their destination safely and quickly. In the C300d, the sound personalization feature is also available where the listening experience can be tailor-made.
Further, the voice assistant "Hey Mercedes" is more advanced and intuitive through activation of online services in the Mercedes me App-thanks to the car’s strong AI operations. The Mercedes Me connect allows the users of the C-Class to stay in touch with other Mercedes vehicles from anywhere around the world and obtain assistance at the touch of a button. To ensure safety & easy access to vehicle information, the Mercedes Me Connect provides some key features such as Vehicle monitoring, Navigation connectivity package, Vehicle set-up, Vehicle finder (enables horn & light flashing), and Geo-fencing.

Hawaii is a dangerous place to surf.I was over on the crapper last week, and was reading the last 2 current BRN pages at that time, and a well know serial pest posted about how he had a surfing accident in Hawaii and had hurt his knee and that is why he was posting so much lately. He was chatting with another pest trying to legitimize a bullshit narrative. I think it was quite benign in what was said, but gave the appearance that he was a sincere guy.
I remember reading the exact same thing a couple of years ago on another stock, so think the stories are now being recycled. DYOR

I was going to say go buy a charcoal smoker and slow cook a rack of baby back ribs, but that'll probably get you in more trouble![]()
Hi @DiogeneseHey Brain Fam,
Sounds like something's afoot with Harman and SoundHound, which is very interesting considering their links with Mercedes' infotainment system (see above).

I get the impression that Akida may be their " Secret Sauce " IP.Hi Bravo,
This is a recent SoundHound patent application. It's only filed in Japan at the moment, but they have until 10 November to file it elsewhere.
JP2022028772A IN-VEHICLE DEVICE FOR ANALYZING VOICE PRODUCTION BASED ON AUDIO DATA AND IMAGE DATA, METHOD FOR PROCESSING VOICE PRODUCTION, AND PROGRAM
View attachment 21474
[330 = voice processor which may include NN]
SoundHound combine a lip-reading system with a speech recognition system in this patent.
[0009] In one aspect, the device for the vehicle is an audio interface configured to receive audio data from an audio capture device located in the vehicle and a person in the vehicle to capture image data in the vehicle. It includes an image interface configured to receive image data featuring a face area from an image capture device, and a voice processing module configured to analyze human vocalizations based on audio data and image data. The speech processing module includes an acoustic model configured to process the audio data and predict the phoneme data used to analyze the vocalization, and the acoustic model includes a neural network architecture. The device further includes a speaker preprocessing module implemented by the processor, which is configured to receive image data and obtain a speaker feature vector based on the image data, acoustically. The model is configured to receive speaker feature vectors and audio data as input and is trained to use speaker feature vectors and audio data to predict phonetic data.
[0069] In FIG. 5, the neural network architecture 522 includes at least a convolutional neural architecture. In one architecture, there may be one or more feedforward neural network layers between the last convolutional neural network layer and the output layer of the neural network architecture 522. Neural network architecture 522 may include adapted forms of AlexNet, VGGNet, GoodLeNet or ResNet architectures. The neural network architecture 522 can be replaced in a modular manner as a more accurate architecture becomes available.
They don't mention Akida in their patent specification, but they have left the door open.
I'm a bit confused. Is it possible that this could be used in lieu of AKIDA or is our tech imbeded in this offering? If it's the latter then how is it that these companies are lauding their innovative brilliance when indeed it's AKIDA that gives them this advantage. Surely at some point BRN is entitled to ask these benefactors to shine some light on their invaluable input. Just wondering if this is what the future looks like for BRN - always the bridesmaid never the bride? 'Look for the revenue' because that's all you'll ever get......It’s a truly disruptive voice AI, and the result of over 17 years of innovation,”
