Strange day today. One year ago russia started (and continued) its war of aggression against Ukraine, against peace, reason, the ability to face other challenges in the world.

Not mentioned in the annual report as a problem , as far as I could see until now.

8 Mio payment for important people of the company (I just miss the correct term) is heavy regarding figures in complete. Someone at TSE mentioned it today already.

It was and is a heavy effort that is necessary to drive and run this business over so many years. For all stakeholders. Great respect to all who work on and with this.

Patience is a virtue, modesty as well.

I was disappointed today for the first time of BRN. As well as I go to wish and expect the best and success of BRN furthermore. Maybe sharing difficulties wirh shareholders during the path / way is a possibility to prevent that much pressure for the company.

I hope Know Labs have their patents sorted re their glucose monitor as Apple is making the same product.

Apple is reportedly closer to bringing no-prick glucose monitoring to the Watch​

Apple's long-running quest to bring blood glucose monitoring to the Apple Watch appears to be moving forward. Bloombergsources claim the company's no-prick monitoring is now at a "proof-of-concept stage" and good enough that it could come to market once it's smaller. The technology, which uses lasers to gauge glucose concentration under the skin, was previously tabletop sized but has reportedly advanced to the point where an iPhone-sized wearable prototype is in the works.
The system would not only help people with diabetes monitor their conditions, but would ideally alert people who are prediabetic, the insiders say. They could then make changes that prevent Type 2 (adult onset) diabetes.

Apple declined to comment. The project has supposedly been in development for a long time. It began in 2010, when an ailing Steve Jobs had his company buy blood glucose monitoring startup RareLight. Apple is said to have kept the effort secret by operating it as a seemingly isolated firm, Avolonte Health, but folded it into a previously unknown Exploratory Design Group (XDG). CEO Tim Cook, Apple Watch hardware lead Eugene Kim and other top leaders have been involved.
Any real-world product is likely years away, according to Bloomberg. The industry also doesn't have a great track record of bringing no-prick monitors to market. In 2018, Alphabet's health subsidiary Verily scrapped plans for a smart contact lens that would have tracked glucose using tears. Even major brands with vast resources aren't guaranteed success, in other words, and it's not clear how accurate Apple's solution would be.
There are strong incentives to bring this tech to wearables. The Apple Watch is frequently marketed as a health device and can spot signs of atrial fibrillation, low blood oxygen levels and (as of Series 8) ovulation cycles. Non-intrusive glucose monitoring could make it an indispensable tool for those with diabetes — you wouldn't need a dedicated device that invades your skin, such as a continuous glucose sensor that sends info from an electrode-equipped thin needle to an external receiver. That painless approach could give the Apple Watch an edge over competing smartwatches.

Yeah good that we got a mention, but the way they word it allures to an innuendo of untruth.
Not claims we friggin are.

Brainchip Holdings is an artificial intelligence company that claims to be the world's first commercial producer of neuromorphic processors that can mimic the way the human brain processes sensory inputs.

I've purchased this for my Dad after that last episode he had. These sensors stop working after 14 days
Cost isn't an issue since I'd do anything for him no matter the cost. Type 2 so not subsidised.

Revenue 5m for the year usd,

About 4.8M this was in the 6 months to june.

So revenue for the remaining 6 months $200K odd in product revenue to end December - hence the last couple of soft 4C's

no change to license revenue which presumable makes sense cos likely wouldve needed announcements

Debtors 2.5 M at june, 1.5M at December , so 1M movement downwards equating to the 4C's
received 100K in Sept and 1.1 in Dec 4C = 1.2M -the difference being the $200K in accounting revenue for the 6 months

so that confirms revenue for the 6 months at 200K

sorry just my quick accounting checks - i could be wrong, usually am 90% of time according to the mrs

still a lot of work to do please brainchip....!!

View attachment 30478

There were no separate announcements made with the revenue earned in the first half of the year, why would there necessarily be any announcements made if there had been more licence money in the second half of the year? The licence arrangement BrainChip have with Megachips as a sales partner makes it possible for third parties to licence Akida through Megachips and BrainChip doesn’t have to announce those deals to the market. So we will continue to see this kind of thing I think and we will have to rely on the financials as we have done here to see the progress. AIMO.

AI-driven Decision-making​

Palantir Edge AI is Palantir’s AI orchestration and sensor fusion engine that runs on disconnected, remote endpoints.​

It enables autonomous decision-making for on-hardware models consuming real-time sensor, radio, acoustic, geo-registration, and time series data. The platform operates in low-bandwidth, low-power conditions, bringing AI to all of your IoT devices — from drones to wind turbines to manufacturing robots.

Businesses can embed Palantir Edge AI on sensors and cameras in manufacturing plants — as well as on machines in processing factories — to increase efficiency and improve quality control. When these sensors examine components as part of a production line, models deployed with Palantir Edge AI identify defective products and separate them for inspection or repair.

Palantir Edge AI deploys at the tactical edge in low-bandwidth or disconnected environments to support cameras and other sensors scanning across wide areas. Computer vision models deployed with Palantir AI Inference Platform search for key objects — such as vehicles, people, or ships. When an entity of interest is found, the camera and platform move along with it. Palantir Edge AI generates metadata-only streams to reduce bandwidth while still providing actionable insights. For example, it can run on cameras on ships — without a network connection — to accurately detect and classify boats on the horizon as friendly or threatening, feeding back into an on-board alerting system.

Organizations seeking to manage their energy consumption and reduce production costs can deploy Palantir Edge AI on sensors, allowing AI models to analyze power utilization across systems. Models can then initiate actions to reduce system activity and improve efficiency.

Interesting but I couldn't find reference to neuromorphic or neural processing.
I'd be keen to know what their power saving claims are and if they can perform one or few shot learning.

Oh my god how nice it is again to read this forum, job well done cleaning up. Can someone explain to me how the upcoming report could be a huge? Any revenue would have been disclosed in the 4C in January no? Or will this report cover sales/revenue from January, or is it what developments might be reported by management that could potentially be price sensitive? Nevertheless I am loosing sleep due to excitement

No not us. It's CNN not SNN.

We have a CNN to SNN conversation module so can’t rule us out on that premise alone

No direct mention of neuromorphic or neural processing…. But found this white paper

A Generational Shift in AI
Palantir Edge AI
Technical Whitepaper — 2022

Interesting….

Many of the most valuable possible actions — whether in combat or in manufacturing — are time dependent. Shuttling data back to the cloud for processing and analysis means a high-priority target may have changed location — or an operational failure may have occurred. The compet- itive advantage will accrue to those organizations who can make decisions on edge devices in seconds and in potentially disconnected environments.


…autonomous decision-making across edge devices and environments. Designed for situations where time and efficiency matter, it operates in low-bandwidth, low-power conditions — including on drones, aircraft, ships, robots, buildings, and satellites.

Extremely lightweight and power-efficient to deploy, Palantir Edge AI minimizes the data that needs to be stored and transmitted — enabling low-latency, real-time decision-making at the device level if necessary. It runs on cloud infrastructure, on-premise GPU servers, or Size, Weight, and Power (SWaP) optimized hardware.

Critically, users can hot swap models in real time without breaking the flow of sensor data through the system. This also means that if a model crashes, it does not impact downstream users who rely on that sensor output.

The architecture is implemented through utilizing standard, open-protocol interfaces that facilitate communication between Palantir Edge AI and processors. The solution handles a variety of sensor input formats, such as RTSP/RTP, NITF, GeoTIFF, and MPEG-TS. Finally, it supports outputs in open standard formats — such as Parquet, CoT, MISB 0601/0903 KLV, MPEG-TS, and GeoJSON — which enables data and insights to be sent downstream to other subsystems with little to no integration work required.

Palantir Edge AI supports multi-sensor models for customers who need to fuse data across diverse payloads. For example, if a customer uses RF and EO collection, they can field AI models with Palantir, combining both modalities to achieve higher fidelity detections of entities of interest (e.g., military equipment).
These fusion models can be deployed to Palantir Edge AI and run on edge devices, such as spacecraft. Additionally, separate Palantir Edge AI instances can communicate with each other on a mesh network, enabling sensor fusion and teaming across edge equipment.
