TLS, your Post brought me to an interesting question:
Are developement engineers allowed to follow and like possible future partners?

A friend of mine (better: my "best man" - is this the English word for the guy proving your marriage?) used to be one of the 7 Senior buyers @ Audi, Ingolstadt. He is now currently in the developement department. I just forwarded your screenshots with exactly this question. Hope there won't be a regulation - because if they have it, these likes from Merc employees will be probably meaningless as well.

Will post his answer here.

By the way: Met him last time in summer and asked him about BRN directly. Didn't receive an answer due to the company restrictions, altough we share our lives since decades...

Dear Dodgy-knees,

I just took my PJ's off and put my happy pants back on and I also took the cork back out of the champers just in case! Here are two extracts from an article dated Thursday 6 October 2022 which are leading me to think, hope and pray that iCatch may have incorporated Akida. If @Stable Genius is right when he said iCatch are "SOC designers so my understanding is they still needed to get their IP from somewhere", then where else would they be getting their IP that can perform all of the bits and bobs outlined in the two extracts below? See the link at the bottom of the post for the full article.

I mean, does Sony Semiconductor Solutions have its own AI Deep Learning Accelerator? Can it protect the driver's privacy, monitor their attentiveness and their health status through multi-sensor fusion and AI edge computing and even take control over the car when needed?

I don't want to get too excited. Heck, who am I kidding? I wan't to get REALLY, REALLY EXCITED!!!!!

iCatch Technology provides driver monitoring system (DMS) solutions

As electric vehicle and ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance System) continue to penetrate the market, iCatch Technology also has been investing lots of resources in imaging-based ADAS technology and business development. How do you ensure that the driver is still paying attention to the road...

Super thoughts there on iCatch there @Bravo as usual. There are ways to sleuth into this.

A wise company keeps secrets out of the public domain, so this does not really prove anything.

Not that google knows all, but I hope this helps. Google search operators are very good at sleuthing!

AliveCor is/maybe/apparently testing the Brainchip Akida SNN solution for ECG medical wearables. Sounds like they concluded to move forward and test it on hardware. Notice the "future goal" and the first 2 references.

Conclusion, Limitation & Future works:
In this work, we have proved the efficacy of a new Peak based encoder along with different spiking networks for ECG classification by testing them on five widely varying ECG datasets.

Encoding performance of Peak encoder can be improved by removing the noise peaks in ECG signal by correlating the signal from another auxiliary low energy sensor like an accelerometer.

Our SNNs are not tested on real NC hardware such as Brainchip Akida [2] and Intel Loihi [19].

Our future goal is to benchmark the SNNs and encoders on those hardware.

Speaking of sleuthing. The way I found the dots to the AliveCor ECG wearables was with filetype pdf.

I feel like the hard-core publications on Akida SNN solutions seem to be created in pdf form. You can use all the OR, AND, -, *, operators on filetype pdf equally as well.

You can interrogate specific websites with site:arm.com for example.

This stuff is easier to do on a PC, where you can type, and move through lots of information quickly. Not so good on tablets or smartphones.

Hope that helps.

I can't imagine that they aren't allowed to. VW engineers also like something from Volvo etc., maybe because they have worked there before. This is also the reason that we should not interpret enormously into all likes. Still, it's interesting to note. A small mercedes employee should never like anything because he never knows who a secret partner could be

Thanks guys for the summaries with key links to catch up on. And Markus with in the loop is spot on too. And im glad to see my love is in the thick of it all as well

Just received the answer:

Translated:
Question:
How is it at Audi: are development engineers allowed to follow and link future partners on LinkedIn, or is that regulated?
-------
The circle could be expanded: buyers etc.
-------
Answer:
Basically yes, but it must not be associated with taking advantage or distorting competition. You must not use it to disseminate any internal or confidential information. Does it help you?
-------



I guess it wont be much differen at Merc. Important for me: You are not allowed to like or follow for your personal advantage. So I doubt it is a simple shareholders like and following...

Not sure if already posted and potentially no link to BRN except that Pia is in the Podcast, I have not listened as yet.

If Fact Finder is reading the optus data breach appears as a topic which I understand you and others may have an interst in.

Why don’t more boards have tech at the top of their minds? Why are Australia’s ASX toppers the top tech laggers? That forms the topic of conversation today between board directors Pia Turcinov Smith and Alan Jones and FDI’s Paul Smith.

Just wondering when the FOMO will start to kick in for this upcoming 4C ............. I think it might be released on Thursday 26th ( after hours ) ... with just maybe a Co announcement on Monday or Tuesday just to spice things up especially if the 4C doesn't start reflecting Co's own past statements of explosive sales/revenue ....... as Sean H said expect a lumpy ride ... so imo, the last 4C was a non event, so I now hope that we will see a pleasing upward financial result this time round.....

No FOMO in my opinion on this one. I think the investors are not expecting much. Could even dip possibly ! Best to have low expectations with a pleasant surprise?

Low expectation on revenue, but with hopeful expectation of company issued guidance.

I found time to sit down and read the latest whitepaper. After finishing, it jumped out to me that the actual use-cases they mentioned for Akida I believe are already implemented. Here are some of the highlights:

After digging deep in the history of AI it mentions: 'Neuromorphic edge AI silicon is already enabling people to seamlessly interact with smarter devices'. 'Already' is an interesting word for this sentence. I am imagining lots of testing happening of Akida. The use of the plural and broad term: 'people' is done on purpose. Hints at consumers with my rose-tinted coloured glasses on, but of course could mean only three CTOs from start-ups as well.

It concluded: 'These include cars that personalize cabin settings for individual drivers, smart farms, automated factories and warehouses, advanced speech and facial recognition applications, and robots that use sophisticated sensors to see, hear, smell, touch, and taste'. Now because of MB and EQXX, Brainchip are happy to use the EQXX use cases as examples and the other use cases we already know about. There have been many other hypothetical use-cases they and we have thrown around, but it seems these specific ones are chosen. Why? I think because they are already in use and not in the development stage.
This one was really specific: 'Field hospitals in disaster zones can deploy medical robots with advanced edge AI capabilities'. This intrigues me. Where? I wonder.

I am excited for the near future. In the latest podcast as well, Accenture's CTO and Hehir were saying Edge AI will take off 2023/2024. This is now!

Quarterly could be out anytime now (AXE just released theirs). Not expecting much. We have our Annual Report to be released as well in February (judging by previous years). Getting a little bit of FOMO these might be the last days we can buy at such low prices. Exciting times.
Cheers all,

Based on historical analysis of quarterly disclosures December has always been higher than usual due to the fact there must be some historical licences still being used. I know Safran are still using there’s
