The reference to First Data has value though when you consider the following:

"What happened First Data?

The big deal is now complete: Fiserv announced this morning (July 29) that it has completed its acquisition of First Data Corporation. The two massive firms first inked the deal earlier this year, which will see Fiserv purchase First Data for $22 billion in an all-stock transaction.29 July 2019

It strikes me that if a company as large as First Data (was $US22 billion in 2019) has carried out a survey of customers and they prefer to keep their data on device then now as Fiserv this is going to be influential when advising other companies.

Here is another thought.

In an early video by Alex the Rocket Scientist he stated that he considers Autonomous Vehicles, Drones etc as nothing more than robots. The point being that the same technology that will allow robots to function autonomously will be what makes autonomous vehicles possible.

So if you accept this logic how significant was the reveal by ANT61 that they were using AKIDA technology as the brain to allow their robot to act autonomously in space for the purpose of maintaining and repairing space craft.

Think about this idea. If ANT61 can do this using AKIDA technology in space would not AKIDA be able to hit valet parking in parking stations for six without the need for parking stations to install costly supporting infrastructure.

Would not AKIDA be able to undertake low speed hands off the wheel driving in congested tunnels or remote locations with poor connection like my carport here in Sydney.

AKIDA BALLISTA

the only difference here is in space there is no incoming traffic, no dependence upon behaviour of their drivers, no other road users, no traffic laws, no speed limits, no traffic lights and a lot more which is absent.
The robert is programmed to find and repair a fault. So similarly an autonomous car is a very job as long as other users are not existent.

I think you need to read what they say their robot is capable of doing which is learning and adapting to its environment.

Being powered by AKIDA it is not trained as you have suggested.

Indeed in every presentation made by Peter van der Made and Anil Mankar over many years now they make the point over and over again that AKIDA is not trained.

While you suggest a static environment in which this robot is operating this is hardly the situation it will be encountering in space. If you can predict the precise nature of the repair that will be required you do not need the robot at all because you redesign that part of the space vehicle so that it will not require repair. The repairs that are to be fixed are not routine maintenance they are as a result of damage or unexpected failures. They need to be located and a method to repair them worked out and then implemented in real time under extreme conditions while the space craft is travelling at thousands of kilometres per hour.

This guy achieved 10% gain in one month programming trading using GPT Bot, over a period of eighteen months that could be better than nothing as we on the bus have seen.

And this is why what I will call retail traders are a dying breed. Technology will out trade human traders and the bigger and better the computer being used the faster and more efficient it will be and the retail trader will disappear. The large institutions already have direct access close to the ASX under licence and as Ai fully integrates into their systems retail traders have no hope. The only future for retail shareholders will be by doing their research, backing their judgement and holding long as retail once did. It will be back to the future for successful retail shareholders.

I expect that there will be limited opportunities even for manipulators in the future as a result. The Ai powered trading computers will not need their services and will over time act together as a giant cartel to maximise their profits and no one will be any the wiser.

This is a great find @DaBenjamins and I think you have exposed that a licence has been sold to Lassen Peak - https://www.lassenpeak.com/

I think it is for a handheld weapon detector. Lassen Peak seems to be a very well connected Defence Industry company and it may well be that the failure to release details was prevented by US Law regarding homeland security.

In any event Lassen Peak is the company in my opinion based on the fine print in the following. So now over to the 1000 Eyes.

Looks like he is working 2 Jobs... Lassenpeak and Unival Sales and Service. Going from the dates he has only been working with Brainchip/Akida since January this Year.

My take is he discovered Brainchip while working for Lassen Peak and running his private consultancy. He discovered Brainchip because Lassen Peak are licencing AKIDA for their ultra low powered handheld weapon detection device. In consequence of the relationship he was able to convince Brainchip or they approached him to act as an agent for Brainchip IP via his private consultancy and he commenced doing so from January, 2023.

The wording in their FAQ indeed has signs of Akidaitis...

How will AI be used in the product?
'AI will be used in the product to analyze the radar image and look for anomalies – things that do not appear to be part of the human body. Then, the AI will look at those objects in an attempt to assess the level of threat the object poses – what is the relative size of the object, what material does it appear to be, where is it on the person’s body, and what characteristics does the object have (sharp point, trigger, etc). The AI will essentially work much like our own human brains work as we look at things and classify them. Many different attributes are examined for every object, and AI improves over time as it “sees” more image data.'

I have extracted the following from the patent which fits nicely with your FAQ @DollarsAndSense

"The RSOC consists of two major functions: 1) A transmitter that produces the radar signal and initiates the scan and 2) a receiver that receives the reflected signal and recovers differential phase and frequency information, and provides that information to the digital processing system.



The apparatus can include sufficient local storage and processing power for operating independent of a network.



At 203, in an embodiment, the analog signal from the scan is converted to a digital format using one or more analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) to create a digital image that can be forwarded to the processing complex of the apparatus. In an embodiment, the process of scanning and creating an image can be repeated a predetermined number of times (programmed into the apparatus or selected by the user) creating multiple digital images.



Upon completion of a search, at 211, post-session processing takes place. This processing can include all or some of the following: tagging images or videos with metadata, gathering and uploading metadata, generating a report, providing a digital signature or certificate, archiving, and uploading the data (both received and processed) and metadata. In this step, images can be cryptographically tagged with various metadata and transmitted and stored on the device, or can be uploaded for further processing. If a data repository is used (e.g., a cloud-based database or an online server), the images, videos, and metadata can be stored there. Examples of metadata can include (but are not limited to) time stamps, geolocation data, device data, customer specific information (user, associated visual images), networked or connected devices, voice recordings, and session information. In an embodiment, a web-based service can be implements using public cloud infrastructure and services such as those provided by (but not limited to) AWS, Azure, and GCP.



At 404, once the objects have been normalized, the resultant image is transferred to an AI engine for pattern matching against known threats and then calculating the likelihood that the input data is a threat. As part of the image processing, in an embodiment, the apparatus performs an image search to match detected shapes against a prebuilt local image threat library, or a mathematical model representing such images, and makes a threat determination using parameters such as shape type, size, type of weapon, confidence level, contrast, and other parameters. Entries in the threat library can include some or all of the following: guns, knives, bombs and bomb vests, clubs, truncheons, bottles, and other objects of interest. In an embodiment, once a preliminary determination has been made that a weapon is suspected, the apparatus will focus in on the suspected weapon(s) and providing better image resolution to improving the detection confidence. In an embodiment, privacy filtering processing is applied, thus ensuring all locally storage body images are obfuscated as part of the image processing described in FIG. 3."

The diagrams which for some reason I cannot persuade to copy show that the Ai Engine at 404 is a completely discrete device from the other two processors at 103 & 104.

These coincidences are just too convenient in my opinion and I personally am satisfied that they are using AKIDA as the Ai Engine unless @Diogenese finds something in the patent to tear asunder my conclusion.

Hi FF,

Figure 4 is a flow chart, not a circuit diagram, so each step is shown in an individual box:

[027] Memory 107 can be used to store, in computer code, artificial intelligence (“AI”) instructions, AI algorithms, a catalog of images, device configuration, an allowable, calculated, or predetermined user workflow, conditions for altering, device status, device and scanning configuration, and other metadata resulting from the scanning process. Memory 107 can be a read-only memory (“ROM”); a random-access memory (RAM) such as, for example, a magnetic disk drive, and/or solid-state RAM such as static RAM (“SRAM) or dynamic RAM (“DRAM), and/or FLASH memory or a solid-data disk (“SSD), or a magnetic, or any known type of memory. In some embodiments, a memory can be a combination of memories. For example, a memory can include a DRAM cache coupled to a magnetic disk drive and an SSD. Memory 107 can also include processor-readable media such as magnetic storage media such as hard disks, floppy disks, and magnetic tape; optical storage media such as Compact Disc/Digital Video Discs (“CD/DVDs), Compact Disc-Read Only Memories (“CD-ROMs), and holographic devices: magneto-optical storage media such as floptical disks; Solid state memory such as SSDs and FLASH memory; and ROM and RAM devices and chips.

[045] Fig. 3 is a flowchart of a method for creating a dataset of images to be used for imaging and detection, according to an embodiment. At 301, one or more images are taken. At 302, the images are sent to a processor for processing. The image or images received at the processor are increased in size by a predetermined amount creating a set of larger images, at 303. In an embodiment, the images are increased in size to achieve finer blending of the image stack in order to extract the high frequency data that is embedded in the low frequency data hidden in the aliasing.

[046] At 304, at least a subset of images in the set of larger images are aligned, according to an embodiment. In an embodiment, at 305, the layers are averaged with linear opacity 1, .5, .25, .125, and so on, allowing images, in an embodiment, to be blended evenly, making use of the aliasing.

[047] At 306, in an embodiment, the image stack, the plurality of images being combined, is sharpened using a predetermined radius. At 307, according to an embodiment, the final super image is resized. One skilled in the art will understand that the output can be resized to any desirable size using any practicable resampling method that provides an appropriate image. At 308, the super image is used to create the final image (seen in 206 from Fig. 2). Once the super image is created, the image is further processed, as detailed in Fig. 4, discussed below.

[048] Fig. 4 is a flow chart of a method for processing the existing data to create a final image. At 401, an optical image is created and mapped to the super image creating a filtered image. In an embodiment, the apparatus uses a separate camera to create an optical image used as a base image configured to be mapped to the super image, according to an embodiment. In an embodiment, the separate camera is a digital camera using a CCD sensor, or a CMOS sensor, or any practicable sensor.

Seems to be doing a lot of superfluous pre-fiddling with the sensor data.

I wonder if you could also add in a facial monitoring sensor that can also assist in the identification of the nervous nelly!

This has a so many spinoffs.

Pattern recognition and probably out comes can assist in many fields.

Let's hope the Ogar is gental.

We've been there before for school security - did not end happily.
