BRN Discussion Ongoing

An interesting article on cybersecurity within agriculture due to the increased use of internet connected farming machinery and sensors. I wonder what these research groups can find so as to “disconnect “ more of their systems 🤔🧐

Farmers are adopting precision agriculture, using data collected by GPS, satellite imagery, internet-connected sensors and other technologies to farm more efficiently. While these practices could help increase crop yields and reduce costs, the technology behind the practices is creating opportunities for extremists, terrorists and adversarial governments to attack farming machinery, with the aim of disrupting food production.

Cyberattacks against agricultural targets are not some far-off threat; they are already happening. For example, in 2021 a ransomware attack forced a fifth of the beef processing plants in the U.S. to shut down, with one company paying nearly $11 million to cybercriminals. REvil, a Russia-based group, claimed responsibility for the attack.

The integration of technologies into farm equipment, from GPS-guided tractors to artificial intelligence, potentially increases the ability of hackers to attack this equipment.

From an academic research perspective, multidisciplinary efforts that bring together researchers from precision agriculture, robotics, cybersecurity and political science can help identify potential solutions. To this end, we and researchers at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln have launched the Security Testbed for Agricultural Vehicles and Environments.

Farming equipment manufacturers and other industry organizations can help by designing and engineering equipment to account for cybersecurity considerations. This would lead to the manufacture of farming equipment that not only maximizes food production yields but also minimizes exposure to cyberattacks.

I wandered the same thing but with our patents im not worried about it.
Or does Brainchip assume that they no longer need this mutual support since Akida is already at the finish line?

"Under the terms of the agreement, BrainChip and ABR will jointly, non-exclusively, promote each other’s products and services to create a referral relationship, under which each will refer potential customers to the other party in exchange for the opportunity to enhance each other’s selling proposition by offering the customers an integrated hardware and software offering, and increasing the chances of sales success in the emerging neuromorphic technologies markets.
“The partnership with BrainChip represents a significant opportunity for our team to work with a breakthrough company,” said Dr. Chris Eliasmith, Co-founder of Applied Brain Research. “We believe neuromorphic semiconductor chips will run the next generation of AI systems, and BrainChip’s hardware technology is a complete development solution for companies entering the neuromorphic chip market.”

“We are excited to undertake this new strategic partnership with ABR, whose award winning system is explicitly designed for real-world applications,” said Peter van der Made, Founder and CEO of BrainChip."

In any case, it seems clear to me that the cooperation was terminated. Otherwise ABR would have had to mention us I think.

I know it from other areas that (small) competitors who are a little behind make a special effort to try to put themselves in a better light with good articles. Maybe Brainchip dropped the cooperation because they are simply faster and more successful and no longer needs the cooperation as it leads to nothing.
Just my unknowing/naive thought...

I wrote this while uiux has already responded. So in context, my post should come before his. Thanks @uiux That's impressive! Don't have any more question about the top.)

Generally such agreements have a fixed term, with an option to renew.

I appreciate your civil answer to my civil question.

I bought my first share in 1985, I think it was. Woodside Oil for 80c/share.
Over the past 40 odd years I’ve had both good and bad investments. BRN has made me more money than any other stock, obviously in part due to the fact I have had more money to invest these days than I did back then.

Anyway, I post very little on forums because I feared that if I didnt post positively, then I would be ridiculed. Regrettably, the few times I have posted on this site have done nothing to allay my fears.

Can I just say to you and anyone else who wants to listen, just because someone doesn’t post rocket ships etc, it doesn’t mean they don’t share your enthusiasm. People express themselves in different ways. Also, over the years I have been on many many ‘sure things’ that have turned out to be anything but.

Thanks for your time. I hope BRN enjoys the huge success we all believe it will.
Couldn’t agree more, Teach22! Nicely said.

Move on, nothing to see.

Unfortunately, a patent is at the discovery stage and does not necessarily need anything backing it. But hopefully they have registered the patent (back in Jan 2021) as protection for a real system that does/will involve Akida.

Processing video images with anything else, especially if “always on”, would quickly drain the battery.

I suppose it would need some form of facial recognition too, so as to stop randoms gesturing things to your vehicle.

Afternoon Chippers,

Watching the TV just now.....

American ABC World News Tonight with David Muir.

Joe Biden just signed off on the ,
CHIPS & SCIENCE ACT,
Releasing $280,000,000,000.oo USD
For the advancement of chips production, hypersonic missiles & dildonics on US soil.

Could not spot P.V.D.M. in any of the footage, with any luck he was out the back hooking into the champagne 🍾.

* I added the last industry obviously, figured we could do with a giggle for the day.

And that large order....moved six times today .

Started at $1.29
$1.17
$1.18
$1.20
1.165
$1.16
Then removed at 4:09 before the after market
balance.

Regards,
Esq.

That was the 800,000 bought on Monday after market, however, there is another 2M happened today. Question: are we heading south again? Where will be the destination $1? 90? 80?

Do our patents have an expiry date when it becomes a bit “free for all”?

Patents last for 20 years. Our first one was filed in 2008, but we have an ongoing programme of patent filing to protect new developments.

Yep, that sort of play makes me nervous for the short term.

Shorter closing or opening? 🤷🏿‍♂️

Exactly jk, that’s why I don’t sell because I feel the same way, like you can’t force someone to have a vasectomy even though it could make the world better.

All things neuromorphic in the spot light these days. Personally i belive Brainchip and Prophesee has found a real use case connection.

Guys do you mind if I revisit the Volterra thing. In the screenshot below at the bottom a bloke makes a link with us and Volterra, and makes a strong statement. Am I flogging a dead horse? If so I apologise and also go straight to the naughty corner.

So that post I did yesterday about Brainchip and WBT working together ??
Edge impulse reposted this article so i wonder!


:cautious:
Neuromorphic object localization using resistive memories and ultrasonic transducers
https://www.eetimes.com/neuromorphic-device-with-low-power-consumption/ => https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-022-31157-y.pdf

BRN - WBT and Edge Impulse?
I am an absolute beginner as far as ReRAM is concerned. As much as I would have liked it to be true that BRN, WBT and Edge Impulse somehow work together this cannot be deduced from this technical article. First, I checked the authors to see if there was any overlap. There are not. Then I took a closer look at the ~Latin - which reads like this to me. There a few clear sentences stand out:

"Two different fabricated RRAM circuits are used in this article. The first is a 16,384 (16k) device array (128 × 128 devices) of one-transistor/one-resistor, 1T1R, structures. The second chip is the neuromorphic platform presented in Fig. 4a. The RRAM cell consists of HfO2 5-nm-thick film sandwiched in a TiN/HfO2/Ti/TiN stack. The RRAM stack is integrated into the back end Of Line (BEOL) of a standard 130 nm CMOS process"

I would exclude the first (1T1R) one via this text passage:
"The 1T1R (one transistor one resistor) architecture used in embedded ReRAM arrays is not sufficient to support the large arrays of memory cells needed in discrete memory chips. For this reason, Weebit’s crossbar arrays were developed using a 1S1R (one selector one resistor) architecture that enables the high density needed for discrete chips. Such an architecture also allows..."
https://embeddedcomputing.com/techn...-demonstrates-its-first-crossbar-reram-arrays

I would exclude the second (HfO2) one via this text passage:
"Most ReRAM designs utilise a special phase-changing material (such as HfO2) controlled using a standard NMOS transistor. When a high current is passed through the resistive material, its resistance changes and the material's resistance is also dependent on the direction of the current. Therefore, when the bit is read, a small gate voltage is applied to the transistor which allows current to flow through the phase-changing material, and the current that results determine the state of the bit.
Weebit Nano is an Israeli company formed in 2015 to develop ReRAM for next-generation computing systems. The growing need for non-volatile memory in computing systems that allows for unlimited read and write cycles presents ReRAM a real opportunity to become an established memory technology.
Unlike most other ReRAM technologies, Weebit Nano has focused on using Silicon Oxide as their phase-changing material."

1660149462603.png

The only consolation is that Edge Impulse with WBT ReRAM would get the better results in any case if I summarize it correctly. They made a conscious decision not to use either manufacturing process. Maybe Weebit should give EI a call.


So I assume that this time it is not yet so far. But as already mentioned, my conclusion is based on my naivety. I only looked for a clear logical connection and found this contradiction. So I can be wrong. @Slymeat please correct me if you see it differently.
