Just had another look at the Innoviz share price graph. They were over $15 back in Dec 2020 so it has been a long haul for Share holders.
Other LiDar stocks have also lost big time.
Good night
@Diogenese
Just did a keyword search for Xilinx and saw your post. Didn't realise we working with them back in 2017.
As you say, hope we're still in their good books somewhere in the background.
Catalyst for the word search was this job ad I just saw from a couple of weeks ago with Bosch. Not sure if posted previously.
The experience / knowledge area examples pretty much encompasses a lot of Akida connections and not saying has to do with us but Xilinx was the only one I didn't realise we had some history with.

Hi Fmf,
Yes there are certainly many intersections with Akida.
Interesting that they mention ARM and RISC-V in the same breath when we have just announced partnerships with both (RISC-V via SiFive). I'm still trying to untangle some crossed synapses in my wetware which link RISC-V and ARM, which seems to have been triggered by the proximate temporal overlap of the partnerships of BrainChip with ARM and SiFive, and the fact that SiFive's newest processor had been relegated to equivalence with a 2 year old ARM processor - before SiFive announced the Akida connexion - which made the ARM/Akida link inevitable in my mind.
Looking at a recent Bosch NN patent, you can see why they would be interested in getting some more current state-of-the-art input.
US10735660B2 Method and device for object identification: Priority 20180217
[0014] According to one specific embodiment, the input data signals are read in an RGB format or YUV format in the step of reading in, the input data signals being read in, in particular, with a resolution of 12 bits or 16 bits per color channel. The bit depth in this case relates to the number of color shades per color or shades of gray. The raw input data signals from the camera are generally provided in 12-16 bits. This range may be reduced to 8 bits by various transformations adapted over time by the camera control. The adaptation of the 16 bits to 8 bits in this case takes place dynamically within various control loops. In principle, however, a higher resolution of 12-16 bits is available for the artificial intelligence of the neural network.
It would probably be a few times faster and more energy-efficient if they had a 4-bit processor, with negligible loss of accuracy.

"Petronel has more than 250 granted and published U.S. and international patents to date"Hi Sirod,
A bit of digging on Xperi found no relevant patents, but a search for their CTO Petronel Bigioi found several patents, including:
US11361525B2 Electronic device for performing biometric identification
View attachment 13388
View attachment 13385
This patent, priority 2019, names Petronel Bigioi (PB) as inventor, but the owner is FotoNation, an Irish company. Now there could be two PBs, but it is possible PB now works for Xperi. There may also be a licence agreement (takeover?) between Xperi and Fotonation.
The photosensor plate combines the normal RGB pixels with infrared pixels.
Quoting PB
"The neuromorphic sensors capture information at an equivalent frame rate of 10,000 frames per second without the need for active lighting. This enables better low-light performance for driver monitoring functions, as well as unprecedented features such as saccadic eye movements or micro-expressions, critical next steps for next-generation passenger experiences."
The low-light conditions imply infrared, so it is highly probable that PB is talking about the FotoNation patents.
Xperi are working in the same area as nViso, but that would not necessarily exclude Xperi having an Akida licence.
Their blurb:
https://s201.q4cdn.com/428489777/fi...-for-Driver-and-Occupancy-Monitoring-2022.pdf
Xperi Launches Revolutionary Single Camera Solution for Driver and Occupancy Monitoring 1/5/2022
states that:
DTS AutoSense Single Camera Driver and Occupancy Sensing:
...
uses proprietary AI/ML technology to ensure the quality and reliability of drowsiness or attentiveness analytics
However, FotoNation has several other patents invented by PB, including:
EP3408798A1 A CONVOLUTIONAL NEURAL NETWORK dating from 2016
View attachment 13391
which relates to CNN and definitely does not use Akida.
Here is another trick which PB invented for biometric sensing:
US10310145B2 Image acquisition system
View attachment 13394
An image acquisition system for acquiring iris images for use in biometric recognition of a subject includes an optical system comprising a cluster of at least 2 lenses arranged in front of a common image sensor with each lens optical axis in parallel spaced apart relationship. Each lens has a fixed focus and a different aperture to provide a respective angular field of view. The lens with the closest focus has the smallest aperture and the lens with the farthest focus has the largest aperture so that iris images can be acquired across a focal range of at least from 200 mm to 300 mm.
So,
View attachment 13395
EDIT: Petronel Bigioi is from FotoNation:
https://investor.xperi.com/governan...x?ItemId=40b9411f-6d57-421e-84db-9edad7dde0d7
Petronel has more than 250 granted and published U.S. and international patents to date. Petronel is an IEEE fellow with over 20 years of experience in the digital still camera and mobile phone industries, working in both signal processing and connectivity. A co-founder of several successful companies (including FotoNation), he is also a pioneer of digital camera connectivity, a co-author and actively involved in the picture transfer protocol (PTP) and PTP-over-IP networks communication standards.
EDIT2: Fotonation bought by Tessera - Tessera changes name to Xperi.

Hey Sly, the autonomous trap was a fake..
And not sure if you know about, what's been previously said, I think by Peter?, but AKIDA2000 or "Next Gen" with LSTM, is supposed to be able to solve the floating plastic bag problem..

I rang Rehm Falk at Bosch to see about any Akida type knowledge needed in the job description, but it went to voicemail. If Rehm returns my call I will report back. I’m still in Europe at present, back home soon.@Diogenese

Not sure what you are pointing out here?
It does make me kind of nervous that a company with significant contracts in place is valued at half our market cap.

At the beginning it was shorts go up our price goes down, now we are seeing an increase in shorts and our price is also going up, looks like they are well and truly buggered and can’t get the price down.

SiFiveが日本支社設立へ、いずれは開発も視野に（EE Times Japan） - Yahoo!ニュース
SiFiveは、RISC-Vの開発者らによって設立された企業だ。現在、300以上のデザインウィンを獲得し、100社以上の顧客を持つ。2022年3月にはシリーズFラウンドで1億7500万米ドルを調達
Posted on yahoo 3 days ago, so hopefully it’s not old news
SiFive, a RISC-V processor core IP (Intellectual Property), is preparing to establish a Japanese corporation. It is expected that the establishment will be completed within the next week or two at the earliest. The president of SiFive Japan was Mr. Sam Rogan, who was the president of Xilinx (acquired by AMD) and CEO of Xilinx Japan. He is currently the Vice President of Japan and South Korea at SiFive.
RISC-V Core Growth Forecast [Click to Expand] Source: SiFive
In Japan, "RISC-V Day Tokyo" has been held since 2017. Why did you establish a Japanese corporation now? Jack Kang, Senior Vice President of Business Development, Customer Experience and Corporate Marketing at SiFive, at a press conference held in Tokyo on July 28, 2022, “We’ve been working with RIS We’ve been involved with Japanese customers in various ways, including C-V Day Tokyo, but we believe that the establishment of a Japanese corporation is the best time,” he said. Japanese customers are somewhat conservative, and I think some of them were looking at the importance of RISC-V and market trends. But now it's exactly the watershed of RISC-V, and the Japanese market is in a state of "prepared" for the adoption of RISC-V."
Rogan emphasises, “Although we are still visiting manufacturers in various industries from automotive to communications, RISC-V is very “receive”.”
At SiFive Japan, we will start selling and supporting RISC-V. Rogan said, “In the future, we are considering development as well. Japan is required to have very high quality, so we are also considering setting up a quality control department." In Japan, DTS Insight provides SiFive's IP, development boards, and services as the sole agent, but Rogan said that the agency agreement with DTS Insight will continue after the establishment of SiFive Japan.
SiFive is a company founded by developers of RISC-V. Currently, we have more than 300 design wins and have more than 100 customers. In March 2022, we raised US$175 million in Series F rounds, resulting in corporate value exceeding US$2.5 billion.
Although RISC-V is an open source ISA (instruction set architecture), it is also a great advantage to be able to cover various applications with a single ISA. Kang said: "Arm has released 17 ISAs over the last 16 years. RISC-V is a single ISA that can accommodate applications from small to large scale," he emphasises.
Currently, the processor family provided by SiFive is a 32-bit and 64-bit CPU core "Essential" for embedded applications, high-performance 64 for networking and infrastructure and enterprise Bit CPU core "Performance" and AI core "Intelligence" for training/inference in Edge AI (artificial intelligence) and cloud. There are 11, 4 and 2 product groups each. This is joined by the "Automotive" family, which is scheduled to be announced soon. Kang explains, “Compared to the same level of Armour core, the RISC-V core is 30-40% more power efficient,” Kang explains.
The growing RISC-V market
The RISC-V market is currently growing rapidly. Mr. Rogan says, "It's a high level of attention, especially in China and Korea." Furthermore, in China and India, we are supporting the introduction of RISC-V at the national level. The movement in China became the driving force for the formation of the RISC-V ecosystem" (Kang)
Semico Research predicts that a total of 62.4 billion RISC-V cores will be shipped by 2025. Shipments of SOCs (System on Chip) with RISC-V are expected to increase from 2020 to 2027, with an annual average annual growth rate of 73.6%. Kang said, "As we have already shipped 10 billion cores in the first half of 2022, it will probably be faster than 2025 to reach 62.4 billion."
The attention to RISC-V has increased with the announcement of the acquisition of ARM by NVIDIA. The acquisition was a breakthrough, but debates about the neutrality of CPU core vendors became vigourous, and many manufacturers began to look for “arm core alternatives.” Kang commented on this as "I think the sense of crisis has become apparent in the industry regarding the neutrality of CPU cores and ISA."
I wonder if Intel was also one of the manufacturers who felt such a sense of crisis. The company announced in February 2022 that it would join RISC-V International as a Premier (Premier) member. In addition, the development platform (development code: Horse Creek), which applies the "Intel 4" process, adopts the processor core "P550" which is the performance family of SiFive. Horse Creek is also scheduled to be released in late 2022.
Rogan emphasised that "SiFive has a chance." By establishing a Japanese corporation, we will contribute more strongly to Japanese customers."

Interesting part in this other article I found (Intel 4)
Looks like it’s old news lol
Also, the previous RISC-V International estimate was that a total of 60 billion RISC-V cores will be shipped by 2025, but recently it may be further revised upward and reach 100 billion. It was a story called Ru. Under these circumstances, SiFive's core is quite widely used. The most understandable one is Renesas, which announced in April 2021 that SiFive and the next-generation automotive processors will be jointly developed. Also, during Investor Meeting 2022, which was held in February this year, at the IFS (Intel Foundry Service), SiFive/Andes/Esperanto/Ventana Although it announced that it will support RISC-V IPs such as MicroSystems, in addition to this, SiFive announced that SoCs (codenamed Horse Creek) utilising P550 cores will be mass-produced in Intel 4. It's like announcing it.

Embedded World 2022 – the RISC-V genie is out of the bottle
After 2 years of absence, Embedded World 2022 was a very interesting conference and RISC-V was everywhere. Summary.codasip.com
Slymeat
Move on, nothing to see.
I was aware of what has been said about the floating plastic bag problem. My thoughts about it are purely based on the fact that the human mind can’t yet solve that problem, along with the floating balloon that may be accompanied by a child running after it. The later being the more important problem.
I am certain that an appropriate sensor could detect a floating plastic bag or ballon, but the decision on what to do with that is the problem to be solved. I expect most systems will simply apply the brakes, which, as I stated, would be mostly unnecessary. It is not always the smartest decision to allow impact even with a plastic bag.
My current car quite annoyingly applies the brakes, quite firmly, under far too many unnecessary situations. I expect this will increase with sensors that can detect more potential hazards.
The emergency braking that bugs me the most is when the car in front slows to turn off the road. As a human operator I understand their intent, even if not confirmed by their indicator, and can easily slightly swerve to maintain my speed, but no, my car slams on it’s brakes and gives the car behind me a fright, hence creating a potentially dangerous situation and concertina effect.
Slamming on the brakes will be the go to for all potentially hazardous situations, that is the point I don‘t like.
