Someone mentioned that Prophessee had not yet amended its website to include Brainchip on its partners page. Neither has Brainchip yet. However Prophessee does have the following on its website as does Brainchip which is a bit more substantial than the respective company names and nothing more.

Laguna Hills, Calif. – June 14, 2022 – BrainChip Holdings Ltd (ASX: BRN, OTCQX: BRCHF, ADR: BCHPY), the world’s first commercial producer of neuromorphic AI IP, and Prophesee, the inventor of the world’s most advanced neuromorphic vision systems, today announced a technology partnership that delivers next-generation platforms for OEMs looking to integrate event-based vision systems with high levels of AI performance coupled with ultra-low power technologies.
Inspired by human vision, Prophesee’s technology uses a patented sensor design and AI algorithms that mimic the eye and brain to reveal what was invisible until now using standard frame-based technology. Prophesee’s computer vision systems open new potential in areas such as autonomous vehicles, industrial automation, IoT, security and surveillance, and AR/VR.
BrainChip’s first-to-market neuromorphic processor, Akida, mimics the human brain to analyze only essential sensor inputs at the point of acquisition, processing data with unparalleled efficiency, precision, and economy of energy. Keeping AI/ML local to the chip, independent of the cloud, also dramatically reduces latency.
“We’ve successfully ported the data from Prophesee’s neuromorphic-based camera sensor to process inference on Akida with impressive performance,” said Anil Mankar, Co-Founder and CDO of BrainChip. “This combination of intelligent vision sensors with Akida’s ability to process data with unparalleled efficiency, precision and economy of energy at the point of acquisition truly advances state-of-the-art AI enablement and offers manufacturers a ready-to-implement solution.”
“By combining our Metavision solution with Akida-based IP, we are better able to deliver a complete high-performance and ultra-low power solution to OEMs looking to leverage edge-based visual technologies as part of their product offerings, said Luca Verre, CEO and co-founder of Prophesee.”

Pure, unashamed, baseless, conspiracy/ speculation here.
Nintendo currently trending on twitter after they made their latest console videos 'private' on youtube. WTF does that mean i hear you ask?
Last time they did that, they announced a new console.
We are going into the second half of the year which is fabled to have increased revenues, and MEGACHIPS is a chip supplier for NINTENDO.
Akida to be onboard a possible Switch 2/ Switch pro / all new console???
Might explain a bit of strength in the SP??
Go take a look at twitter trending for more speculation from fans!!

Developing and Deploying a Privacy-preserving Vision-based Sensor System for Commercial Real EstateXY Sense
In the United States alone, commercial buildings contain roughly 70 billion square feet of space. Constructing, operating and maintaining this space consumes a tremendous amount of resources. Yet, facility operators typically have little insight into how their spaces are utilized. XY Sense set out to develop a solution that allows facilities operators to obtain accurate, real-time information on how spaces are utilized, enabling informed decisions about how to adjust and allocate their spaces. XY Sense’s solution uses wide-angle cameras to collect real-time occupancy information over large areas while preserving privacy and security. In this 2021 Embedded Vision Summit interview conducted by Jeff Bier, Founder of the Edge AI and Vision Alliance, Luke Murray, the co-founder and CTO of XY Sense, introduces the key requirements of the application, and explores some of the challenges that XY Sense overcame in developing and deploying its solutions—including monitoring people’s movements without compromising privacy—and the approaches the company employed to overcome these challenges.

Renesas and Shikino appear to be tied at the hip with Intelligent cameras. Camera Shikino High-Tech Object detection, facial recognition etc etc
I will be looking foward to seeing what comes out of this. They appear to have a tie with Daitron Japan as well but haven't been able to find too much on that connection yet.

And in keeping them with Shikino today on list is Shikino High-Tech and Socionext are together with the Prototype Communication Module P-TMFSU-041, this module incorporates Socionexts SC1320A.
Now who doesn't like a bit of family connections. And my list of connections gets bigger and bigger and bigger with Shikino. If only i could read japanese I would get a whole lot more from their website and their utube channel.

They could have said 'we can't comment on this' but they chose to ignore you. Is there a difference in interpreting these two approaches?
I missed this but I have a feeling that BrainChip is somehow involved. Need to check if indeed the report below is true.
Oticon Medical’s ears must be burning after parent company Demant struck a deal to divest the implant business in a sale to fellow hearing technology developer Cochlear.
Copenhagen-based Demant will sell off Oticon to the Australian buyer for 850 million Danish kroner, or about $120 million. Cochlear will shell out 700 million Danish kroner in upfront cash once the deal is finalized, then the remaining 150 million kroner within 18 months of its closing.
As part of the deal, Cochlear has promised to continue supporting the more than 75,000 people who have already received Oticon’s hearing implants. Moving forward, it will also take the newly acquired products into consideration for compatibility purposes as it develops future technologies.
