BRN Discussion Ongoing

[Slade]

Has any conclusion been reached by the group on who might be the Hearing Aid company? Syntiant yes/no/maybe? The fact that Brainchip still lists Hearing Aids as part of the job solution is interesting. This would be a product with a much quicker "go to market" time frame. There is a lot of info when searching in google for "auditory sensor spiking neural network".

Seems like the perfect low power SNN solution. From what I read; it is the Spike Timing that can be used to filtering out the background noise. Called a Biological Neural Network, Fascinating. Go Brainchip Team!

Hi Stuart, I don't know if a definite hearing aid company has been identified as working with BrainChip. We could certainly be working with a number of them. A while ago a we were talking about Oticron, a company that uses a deep neural networks in their hearing aids. Interestingly, the Aussie company Cochlear are currently in the process of taking over Oticron. Cochlear is also a company that has been discussed in the past. Could be worth keeping an eye on.

Chips or no chips?
Somewhat conflicting given the company only 3 days ago promoted services through the enablement program from concept to working systems with packages that includes 20 AKD1000 and 100 AKD1000 chips along with engineering and support services.

We have to supply chips to enable development. We’re not supplying/ having manufactured chips in large commercial quantities.

Commsec is down. .. and so it begins..

Perhaps if you propose something in detail.
ATM its a bit like "lets eliminate world hunger"
Sure, great idea and believe most would be in favour..... but exactly how would we achieve it?
Particularly when your premise acknowledges the scepticism of "you can't trust anyone in this game."
I think if this potential for a take over ever becomes a known reality, then this forum as it stands, will become a rallying point for its in depth discussion and the propagation of a concerted effort to either deny or endorse a course of voting action.
I don't know whether the thousand eyes actually holds 25%, but think with a concerted and obvious self interested voting direction we would be at the least an influential block not only for our combined shares held, but for the noise we could generate.

That old spook called takeover.
The patents are partly not assigned to Brainchip but Peter. The first and important one which defines Akida is from 2008, long before Brainchip exists. Can anybody explain how there can be a takeover of a company which owns only parts of the IP of their most important product?

I was just trying to be funny. Opening was very soft, but it seems to be bouncing.

Lol. I can’t post over there. Been banned for months.

And I don’t go over there.

Fair call.

Don't think so. Can you please give an example?

Great. But CommSec really is down, system wise.

My understanding was that Sean said we wouldn't be producing bulk chips but that we would still produce a "reference" chip. Previously it looked likely we'd produce (My words) hundreds of thousands for small users and big players would do their own with IP. Sean then moved us back to the original business model of IP and not a chip company - but still producing a reference chip that won't be called Akida2000. Presumably there will still be enough of these to be distributed for testing purposes by customers - Just that they won't be able to buy them in bulk for commercial purposes.

This is my understanding so not advice.

CommSec is ok on my computer

Just have a look at the patents thread

Great! Wouldn't let me log in for last 14 minutes.

Anything of any interest here especially with the recent job opening regarding hearing aids. Patent assigned to Syntiant

Microcontroller interface for audio signal processing

U.S. Patent Number 11270198 for Microcontroller interface for audio signal processing

uspto.report

Hi Rocket,

Syntiant are exponents of analog NNs, or Frankenstein combinations of analog and digital. S

FIG. 2 provides a schematic illustrating an analog multiplier array in accordance with some embodiments.

I believe the early patents have been bought by BRN. This is why the inventors hold their large share numbers. ie ownership of this IP is conveyed by a slightly different mechanism.

 

[Perhaps]

Just a logical view. Brainchip is well known by the big players for years. Intel had a deep look at Akida in their Neuromorphic Research Group, where Mercedes stumbled upon Brainchip. When there'd been any chance for a takeover in the past with a market cap of 500M, don't you think they would have done it? No matter if it's just for eliminating future competition or buying the technology for peanuts, that's the usual way they work. But nothing happened. Why?
Next step is a look at the patents.

Just because the market cap is X dollars doesn't mean the company is willing to be sold for that price

 

[stuart888]

Hi @TECH - hope you are right about the acceleration. However, we did confirm that the comment at the AGM was an additional one director to take it to five ratherthan an extra four or five. Haven't found the post but I recall confirming this via Tony Dawe.
Regards

Seems safe to assume Brainchip is already well ahead of the Diversity issue for down the road Nasdaq. Maybe 20% of employees are from India, some from Japan, Germany, Perth, plus Anil is already on the BOD. I would hope that Brainchip makes a huge headline with the next Director. Our new team is thinking big. Yeah, How about Lisa Su?

I just entered that takeover talk, it's not about the company's will. For anybody interested, in the past it would have been an easy game to get a majority of shares. But we're still here. Only two possibilities: No interest cause the technology is shit (no), no interest cause a takeover makes no sense (yes).
