[Rise from the ashes]

I tried searching through there website and everywhere else over night and to me it appears the trial didn’t proceed,yet the website shows the breath device up and running .now I’m more confused.

Sent them a quick message with lots of praise about their tech and progress and asked if they are still working with brainchips akida.

This seems to be in akidas sweet spot..

The vast majority of cybersecurity solutions address data protection when in rest state (e.g. hard drive storage) or in communication transit (e.g. sent by mail or other means over the internet). Confidential information remains totally exposed when in actual use by the applications on the computer.

HUB provides unparalleled solutions for data protection while in use by the application on computers CPU and memory.

Frequency-modulated continuous wave radar sensors play an essential role for assisted and autonomous driving as they are robust under all weather and light conditions. However, the rising number of transmitters and receivers for obtaining a higher angular resolution increases the cost for digital signal processing. One promising approach for energy-efficient signal processing is the usage of brain-inspired spiking neural networks (SNNs) implemented on neuromorphic hardware. In this article we perform a step-by-step analysis of automotive radar processing and argue how spiking neural networks could replace or complement the conventional processing. We provide SNN examples for two processing steps and evaluate their accuracy and computational efficiency. For radar target detection, an SNN with temporal coding is competitive to the conventional approach at a low compute overhead. Instead, our SNN for target classification achieves an accuracy close to a reference artificial neural network while requiring 200 times less operations. Finally, we discuss the specific requirements and challenges for SNN-based radar processing on neuromorphic hardware. This study proves the general applicability of SNNs for automotive radar processing and sustains the prospect of energy-efficient realizations in automated vehicles.

• References at the end include references to STDP & JAST - Simon Thorpe & the second last reference is to a paper by Shibo Zhou a former researcher with BRN and his paper extolling the use of SCNN for Lidar.
• Interestingly they also reference SNN with LSTM.

[Earlyrelease]

I join the chorus of those who would like to pay homage and say thanks to FactFinder.
I believe he has made the right call, the amount of time he had to be investing to maintain the incredible levels of contribution being made was unhealthy IMHO, almost verging on obsessive. Hopefully after some well earned R&R he will find a way to return with less, but highly informed, contributions to the forum.

I, like many of us here I imagine, had become somewhat guilty of relying on FF research. I. like he, have already convinced myself of the tech, the addressable market and the ability of the high calibre team to deliver for BRN; and eagerly consumed information posted by FactFinder( & others) as we move forward in our commercialisation.

What we actually need is a whole group of "5%- FactFinder's ", delivering the same high level of factual information, but at a rate that can be maintained without our beloved's divorcing us! Some of the contributions I have just read since FF's departure tells me we are well on our way.

The end result of the army of 5%-FactFinder's will be a greater retail holding of high conviction holders ... which will be of benefit to us all when things really start to heat up in 6 - 12 months time. It makes me think of this quote by Ian Cassel.

Thanks again FactFinder.
Good luck with your health, your families health & finding balance.

Well said.

Looking at the share movement with low volume, I begin to sense a rapid share price reversal will happen at any moment without rhyme or reason and the shorters will be mercilessly burnt to a crisp. I would be very worried if I were a shorter, very worried!

 

[Fullmoonfever]

Looking into some prev identified NASA connections and additional info and presume we can maybe cross the Tensor Partners project off.

I say maybe as the titles of their work cross over but not identical to the original project they were using Akida in...but hey, semantics.

I think @uiux may have originally discovered the connection and definitely listed in their post here:

Sticks & Stones

I wanted to collate a few of the NASA/military/government related projects together to try get a better idea of the subterranean reach of BrainChip's Akida. If I have missed any - let me know. Here is a summary list of organisations directly involved with BrainChip Akida: NASA SiFive Vorago...

thestockexchange.com.au

Bit p!$$ed off tbh if my cynical thinking is correct.

We know they started the project back in Aug 2020 and Ph 1 ended in Mar 2021.

NASA TechPort

NASA's Technology Portfolio Management System (TechPort) is a single, comprehensive resource for locating detailed information about NASA-funded technologies. Those technologies cover a broad range of areas, such as propulsion, nanotechnology, robotics, and human health. You can find useful...

techport.nasa.gov

So I have a check in on their web and yep...in the news section they happily post the NASA Ph 1 award for 6 mths (bottom article) but don't mention Akida at all and whilst they are progressing that project, they decide to jump into bed with Intel in late Oct and talk about proceeding to develop their neural net & neuromorphic processing module.

Gotta wonder how that relationship pops up so quick. Not something usually happen overnight but would have been working on Intel for a period I would suggest but hey....in the meantime cause Intel not locked away yet, we'll use Akida to get the project awarded initially cause it's available and not a "research chip" and do some groundwork and then flick when we get Intel confirm

So what does this mean for NASA's use of AKIDA? Have we been ditched in favour of Loihi?

 

[HopalongPetrovski]

Looks like further pressure on the share price yesterday/today from the bots, shortee's and deep pocketed manipulators.
A somewhat mild tree shake considering the volume outstanding.
Undoubtedly they are awaiting with glee the release of some apparently "doom and gloom" news with which to try and spook holders and at which point they will intensify their attack.

Also suspect infiltraitors are/will be trying their tricks here as part of a coordinated assault.
Notice how some on the abandoned site of woe have had all their previous mealy-mouthing's greyed out in an attempt at hiding history.
Would've thought it easier if they just came up with new pseudonyms.
But assume they will just lurk, knowing that their bad manners and conceit will reveal them soon enough and that we don't tolerate that unkind and uncool bullshit here. Keep that for the H Crap shite where the Mods sympathies are transparent and self serving.
Here, they will be exiled to the forbidden zone, and good riddance.

Personally don't think so as it's not NASA who determine what tech is used IMO esp in Ph I proposals.

They will award Ph I based on merit, cost etc, wait till projects outcomes met (or not). Met in the case of the Techport info FF found recently and then issue a Ph II as I found with the NECR project and Intellisense recently.

For mine it is more the individual entity that will be choosing who or what they use in their proposals....this is more around Innovation themselves and personally reckon they ultimately wanted access to Intel research approval anyway but Akida was available and path of least resist to get the project and access to neuromorphic modelling imo.

 

[Foxdog]

Agreed, but it would be nice and well received if the company countered any doom and gloom predictions with a couple of positive and substantial announcements. Regardless of NDA's I want to hear some results.....just saying as the languishing SP is giving me the sh*ts. Not so patiently holding on tight......

This is only one contract right..

There are always others we are and could be involved in, such as the Rover Speed increase. So id say that's more of a win over a Cube Sat.

Yeah only one I saw.

They still could for all intent and purposes, still have Akida in the background parallel for all I know and hedging their bets.

In the scheme of things was only a short 6 mth project and yes we still got others going.

Check the dates, this is pre announcements by Brainchip of connection to NASA. Loihi is the one that didn't make it.

Exactly... its not all bad. We have been validated. Most people seem to think we are going to be adopted into everything in the world. That wont be the case.. Intel have ALOT of pull and who knows what was whispered behind the scenes. We aren't magically going to run over them, no matter how much better Akida is than Loihi.. Intel's hardware will still be used in favour (In some use case's). Just because of the name and reputation.
