I think it's interesting though that it's a BMW digital key and I wonder what sort of sensors are required to operate it? I remember @cosors posting something about a Mercedes patent which outlined something similar using NFC technology, if I'm not mitaken.

Hi @Fact Finder, did you just give me a laughing face emoji because I misspelt "mistaken"?
Got to admit that's actually hilarious - "if I'm not mitaken." Actually proves I was very mitaken.

My thought on this is that.
I do not think BRN would divulge any information on its finances and buisness oppurtunities it be highly illegal and I do have complete faith that this is the case.
I personally never have bothered to contact the company as I don't feel it will add any value to my opinion and direction they are heading. I feel that constant contact just wastes their time even though they do have IR I believe that is a listing requirement. That said I think that that person or persons is doing lots of other work also so I leave them to that. That said I do hold a few shares that maybe I should be more active in my involvement but I do see progress again in these points:
1. Company growth added staff and office space.
2. Increased engagements and numbers growing.
3. Quarterly revenue to c9me we have not seen a clear picture.
4. Increased media coverage on BRN involvement and partnerships
5. General media coverage on growth in the industry particularly the shit to edge and SNN.
6. More research and publication on these.
7. Universities getting involved this is a big one.
Ask your self How many of these were in place 2 years ago? This is a sign of growth over say the last 5 years.
Money flow has not happened why these commercial products will not pay untill the end user has a product that integrates the tech to a product that is comercial.
Product releases take time especially when this is all new to the masts.
The departure from building chips is likely going to help BRN penetrate either into the market with there tech to allow for quicker adoption.
This also helps to keep capital spending down and derisking inventory issues and delivery to clients as well as potentially over produce product to only later have it depreciate as the technology evolves further.
These are the reasons why I personally sleep well. If we get to a nice price poi t next year over 2 dollars I do hope to go to the next share holder meeting and be alittle more involved then . I do see this achievable by February to April 2023.
This is not a short ride folks its a long ride in a luxtury Yatch owned by @Fact Finder lol. Served with only topselve items.IMO

Ok. I am going to keep this as short as possible.
Tech shared information from a reply he had received purporting to be from Ken Scarince that the communicated financial status quo as reported since last year had not changed.
At the same time Ken Scarince sent me an email the majority of which was private and about personal matters and as an aside he provided the text of an email he had sent to a number of shareholders who had contacted him regarding whether current market and world economics had changed previously advised company guidance on current cash reserves and the LDA Capital agreement. Simply put the answer was NO.
He asked that his email to me not be published. He stated that he was telling me about the communication in case the concerns he had received around capital raises were or became more widespread and that while he is happy to reply to shareholder requests directly 40,000 emails asking the same question would break him.
He asked me if it seemed to be becoming an issue would I mind communicating the above on TSEx.
Now I am an anonymous poster here like anyone else so no reason to believe me so leave aside all the above before you bury Ken Scarince in emails and consider the following known published facts.
The company has stated it has plenty of cash, the company has the locked in obligation with LDA Capital and until that is drawn down and concluded the question of further capital raises logically does not arise.
My opinion only DYOR

Thankyou FF, also well said.
Nothing to see here folks other than reassurance of what has been previously publicly stated, move along.
Firstly @TECH writes a post about the worrying global economy. A reasonable post on a topic that he is well in his rights to give his opinion on. I appreciated the post and if I took anything away from it, it was to stay patient. However, from that post someone took it upon themselves to accuse TECH of down ramping. The claim was that he has obviously sold shares and now wants to buy in at a lower price. I don't know how someone can quickly draw such a conclusion and if I was TECH I would be pretty upset by it. So TECH responds, who wouldn't. Now he is being attacked again by members that have jumped in for the kill. TECH has made an effort over the years to build up a rapport with the BrainChip team. I will bet my left nut that information TECH received is simply confirmation of what we have been told in the past, but nevertheless reassuring. I will bet that TECH was told that we still have cash to get us through and that a capital raise will not be needed in the near future. I bet he was told that they are working hard on the next version of Akida. And I bet everything else he was told, we already know. We all know how well BrainChip guards their NDAs, I can't imagine them revealing secrets to a shareholder. Credit to TECH, he is in dialogue with the team and its always nice to get confirmation on things. Undeniably, TECH has a good relationship with the management team, just as FF has and a few others. If you have held shares for years and are a decent person then you too could have built up a rapport with the company if you wanted to. Hell, if you are so upset, reach out to the company yourself. A few on here could do with looking inward. I value the comments of members that do reach out to the company. It would be a real shame if they get upset by personal attacks and decide they have had enough.

Wow! Check this article out! It's all about ambient computing and it was published on 13 September 2022 and it includes a statement from Amazon about advancements in sensors, AI, NLU and edge capabilities. The last two words in the article are "pervasive connectivity".
Can't get more "pervasive" than Akida! He-he-he!
Amazon collaborated with Setallantis in January and don't forget, in June Stellantis chose Valeo's third-generation LiDAR to equip multiple models of its different automotive brands from 2024.

Hi Slade
I was not attacking Tech. I was simply suggesting that he doesn't use language in posts that conveys a meaning that can be misconstrued. In this case I, and many others, got the impression that Tech was saying he had received information that was not available to others and was only sharing it with FF. Even though we are all anonymous on a forum such as this I think we need to consider the words we post before hitting the enter button to ensure what we are trying to get across is not misinterpreted..............I'm sure FF as a alwyer will agree that words, and how they are used, is important in conveying the intended meaning.

What is ambient computing? Everything you need to know about the rise of invisible tech
Ambient computing explained - what it is and where it is going next.
“What is ambient computing, in simple terms?
Ambient computing, also commonly referred to as ubiquitous computing, is the concept of blending computing power into our everyday lives in a way that is embedded into our surroundings - invisible but useful.The goal is to reduce the friction involved in utilizing tech, making it easier for users to take full advantage of technology without having to worry about keyboards and screens. Instead of having to directly interact with different computing devices to get desired results – for example, using your phone to make a phone call and your remote to turn on a TV– ambient computing allows all of your devices to work together seamlessly to fulfill your needs.
"In a multi-device world, people don't want to spend their life fussing with technology. An ambient approach gets the tech out of your way so you can live your life while getting the help you need," Rick Osterloh, Google's SVP of Devices and Services, said during Google's I/O 2022 keynote. "It doesn't matter what device you're using, what context you're in, whether you're talking, typing, or tapping. The technology in your life works together seamlessly."
Leave out the fact that Jerome Nadel did not use the word ‘Ambient’ this is exactly what he was saying in his last podcast interview.

Doing the usual random BRN searches & this came up.
Did a word search on TSE and didn't see posted so someone may know about or maybe has been mentioned but I got word search wrong.
Leapmind?
I know it states CNN and wondered if maybe @Diogenese wanted to dig and see if either analog set up of some sort or possibly & hopefully a CNN2SNN hidden in the background or something using Edge Impulse or MegaChips given Leapmind & MC domiciled in Japan?
All sounds very familiar to me anyway
Some info below.
About LeapMind
LeapMind Inc. was founded in 2012 with the corporate mission "To create innovative devices with machine learning and make them available everywhere." Total investment in LeapMind to date has reached 4.99 billion yen (as of May 2021). The company's strength is in extremely low bit quantization for compact deep learning solutions. It has a proven track record of achievement with over 150 companies, many of which are centered in manufacturing, including the automobile industry. It is also developing its Efficiera semiconductor IP, based on its experience in the development of both software and hardware

From their May 22 press release.
Features of “Efficiera Anomaly Detection model”
•Training completes with only normal data
- Annotation work is not required which is often outsourced, no necessity of concluding non-disclosure agreement.
- Avoids the need of large amount of defective data, and training completes just in a few seconds which enabling rapid introduction of AI to the manufacturing site
•Completes both inference and training on small edge device with FPGA
- No need of send image data outside the company, the risk of information leakage is reduced, and complicated non-disclosure agreements are not required which could lead to labor savings
- Can be used in environment without network
•Re-training can be done without an AI engineer
- Visualization of abnormal areas by heat map.
- AI training results can be saved and reloaded (redo and version management) easily on site which makes it easy to use to those companies that have difficulty in securing IT human resources.
About Efficiera®
Efficiera is an ultra-low power AI inference accelerator IP specialized for CNN inference processing that runs as a circuit on FPGA or ASIC devices. The "extremely low bit quantization" technology minimizes the number of quantization bits to 1 - 2 bits, maximizing the power and area efficiency of convolution, which accounts for most of the inference processing, without the need for advanced semiconductor manufacturing processes or special cell libraries. By using this product, deep learning functions can be incorporated into a variety of edge devices, including consumer electronics such as home appliances, industrial equipment such as construction machinery, surveillance cameras, broadcasting equipment, as well as small machines and robots that are constrained by power, cost, and heat dissipation, which has been technically difficult in the past. LeapMind provides three Deep Learning models - Efficiera Object Detection model, Efficiera Noise Reduction model and Efficiera Anomaly Detection model. Visit product website at https://leapmind.io/business/ip/
Specifically, we achieve weight savings by replacing the parameters in an inference model with 1 or 2 bits instead of the usual single-precision floating-point number (32 bits).
The limit of quantization without performance degradation is generally believed to be 8 bits, but LeapMind has succeeded in achieving negligible performance degradation even with a combination of 1-bit weight (weight factor) and 2-bit activation (input), which is well below 8 bits (Figure 2).

Extremely low bit quantization
Quantizing deep learning models to extreme low bits makes them significantly lighter and faster without sacrificing their performance (Figure 1).Specifically, we achieve weight savings by replacing the parameters in an inference model with 1 or 2 bits instead of the usual single-precision floating-point number (32 bits).
The limit of quantization without performance degradation is generally believed to be 8 bits, but LeapMind has succeeded in achieving negligible performance degradation even with a combination of 1-bit weight (weight factor) and 2-bit activation (input), which is well below 8 bits (Figure 2).
Hi Toasty,
It wasn't one post that compelled me to write a response but rather a number of posts. Had TECH's original post regarding the global economic situation been accepted for what it was, an simple commentary, then it would have stopped there. But it was twisted and here we are. I feel that TECH is owed an apology by some.
