Would prefer Zac as CEO presents better,Sean has a look like he is half asleep. After watching the video to me it seems the same old spiel about a future that never comes, still don’t know what they have achieved to get all their incentive shares,wish I had a job like theirs,for me it has to be a material result before I get incentive payments,yearly bonus,I for one would like to know what targets they set,it obviously ain’t shareprice growth.
BRN Discussion Ongoing
- Thread starter TechGirl
- Start date
People may perceive me as a negative poster but after holding for two years I’m getting sick to death of the same old retric, I can’t believe they have the balls to go into an AGM spinning the same crap with absolutely not one quantifiable result in the last year and a half,IF Mercedes’ had not of signed this share would be $0.01 now, Just sitting on a 100k loss but who’s counting,I am,time for change,not time for bonuses and incentive shares.I’ve listen and have had a few chats with Tony,ask him real questions,he doesn’t want to hear them. It’s all right to have this forum and I do enjoy reading some of the posts,but seriously are we a bunch of j witnesses so blind in our convictions not to question our management. This post will probably get taken off by Captain Z so be it, but ask yourself how long are you going to wait,when the share price is $0.10
$0.05 I for one would like the ASX at least look into these so called 100 NDA’S and say yes they do exist. PROOF IS ALL I ASK. a independent entity to prove they exist. Something quantifiable that I can pin my hopes on.

"Sean is the face of the company"Good morning,
Well there you go, the AGM documentation released as was to be expected plus the LDA Capital details released with some nice funds
deposited into our accounts.
Without getting too pedantic, the figures don't quite match up.
Obligation 15,000,000 AUD received to date 12,232,543 AUD outstanding by 31 December 2023 2,767,457 AUD (not 2.85 Million AUD)
12,232,543 AUD raised from the sale of 20,756,540 shares equates to 0.5893 per share not 0.5803 per share (approximately I can read)
Still quietly happy that 0.58 + was the final figure achieved, not as good as $2.34 but it's a lot better than 0.06c a few years ago !!
The company has once again listened, having Sean present twice now recently is important, he needs to been seen so it sends a positive
message, we already have our backroom guys and gals in the engine rooms around the globe, Sean is the face of the company, so lets
just for a minute acknowledge the company in a positive, creative way.
p.s. Isn't Zach Shelby a laid back dude..Tech x
(He needs to be seen)
Especially when Sean is so well spoken and knowledgeable about the Company, where we are and where we need to go.
As he should be.
I'm impressed whenever I hear him speak, he is a real asset to the Company and I'm glad he's there.
My opinions only, but there are no doubts in my mind, that he will lead BrainChip to Global success and beyond.

Hi FrangipaniHi @Mercfan,
since you have Munich‘s Allianz Arena as your profile pic, I assume you are not only a Mercedes, but also an FC Bayern fan? (Who knows, you might be a BVB fan instead, posting this beautiful sunset shot as an ominous Götterdämmerung prediction for Dortmund‘s biggest Bundesliga rival…) I just happened to read somewhere that Bayern München are planning a tour through Asia in July. Let’s assume they will be playing each of their three planned matches in Bangkok, Singapore and Tokyo at 8 pm local time. For fans in Germany wanting to watch a live TV broadcast, however, the kick-off will be at different times each match day (3 pm German time for the match in Bangkok, 2 pm for the one in Singapore and 1 pm for the match in Tokyo), as there is no one single Asian time zone. Neither is there one time zone for all of Australia.
So when you are saying that Germany is 8 hours behind Australia, this statement of yours is only partly true. It is indeed, if you are currently in let’s say Port Douglas (Queensland) or Port Macquarie (New South Wales). However, if you are in Port Hedland (Western Australia) instead, Germany is currently only 6 hours behind, as WA is in the same time zone as Singapore. And to make things even more complicated, the time difference between the Ports of Hamburg or Rotterdam and Port Augusta in South Australia is 7.5 hours!
But the point I was trying to get across in my previous post is that those time zones stated in the press release @Opti had asked about were actually North American time zones, not Australian ones.
View attachment 34475
One hint was that the press release was published by Brainchip’s US office in Laguna Hills, CA. It is located in the Pacific Time zone, which is encompassing parts of western Canada, parts of the western United States (except Alaska and Hawaii) as well as the state of Baja California in Mexico. The largest city in the Eastern Time Zone, on the continent’s opposite Atlantic Coast, is New York City.
So another hint - as already mentioned in my previous post - was that only in the Americas (but not in Australia) would it make sense to differentiate between a Pacific (= West Coast) and an Eastern time zone with a three hour time difference between them. In Australia, on the other hand, the East Coast is the Pacific Coast!
So the live online event started at 9.30 am New York time (opening time of the NYSE/NASDAQ) / 6.30 am Los Angeles time, which in turn was 3.30 pm Central European Daylight Saving Time. And way past dinner time (for most people at least) anywhere in Australia & New Zealand. Hope this helps.
Yes you are right I am a FC Bayern fan since they made it into the Bundesliga in 1962 and I am also a huge Mercedes fan since i worked for them in 1968. I know WA time is different but i was just thinking QLD/Germany. All good

Good point manny.
With mum and dad investors, which I am one, we investors. get a little nervous that our investment is being looked after. I get that. The company is under NDA's, that's a fact. We can like, not like it, but it is a fact. Investors complained, they put out a monthly podcast but couldn't disclose anything concrete because as I said they are under NDA's. We get nervous because it is our hard earned and if we go down, it hurts more than sophisticated investors. IMO it is a slow burner this company due to the nature of the Tech Industry and the companies trying to keep their secrets in house and not let competition in on their future direction. It is a very competitive industry from what I have read and one company coming out with a better product can hurt the competition massively, so the need for secrecy. I'm not sure anyone here would expect DOD to put up in lights what they are working on so other countries know. The same for the Tech Industry. It sucks as an investor, but it is what it is. I would like things to move faster, but it takes a lot of time. As I said a slow burner, but a bang bang at the end IMO.
My two bobs worth.

Holding onto what I've got
Agree with you there mate!....I would rather Sean be too busy chatting to customer/clients getting them onboard getting Brainchip's name to the masses, etc... than pumping and appeasing the shareholders/market with hopes and dreams, right?!

I thought it was interesting when Sean was asked the 3 area's where BrainChip is seeing most activity & interest.
He nominated, in this order :
1) Automobile - smarter cars / electrical
2) Industrial - vibration analysis, sound analysis, preventative maintenance
3) Wearable - On your wrist, ear - Medical
and then he added a 4th ...
4) Communication - Video conferencing and the like
Picking up on 4), where Sean felt it was worth referencing
This article has been posted recently which is of interest in background knowledge :
INTERNET-SCALE VIDEO REQUIRES ITS OWN KIND OF SUPERCOMPUTING
This talks to the massive growth of live video streaming, the bandwidth required, how latency is a key issue.
Also discussion around the notion of “Look-Ahead” to analyze motion and content as well as efficient compression, using an AI processor to optimize the quality of the visuals.
Again, an area of great need, and it would seem that Akida offers functional attributes that might offer part of the solution, that in turn has companies in this space knocking on our door.

Some interesting thoughts here from the CEO of OpenAI, in regards to the future of giant AI models:
www.wired.com
"But the company’s CEO, Sam Altman, says further progress will not come from making models bigger. “I think we're at the end of the era where it's going to be these, like, giant, giant models,” he told an audience at an event held at MIT late last week. “We'll make them better in other ways.”
"Altman’s statement suggests that GPT-4 could be the last major advance to emerge from OpenAI’s strategy of making the models bigger and feeding them more data. He did not say what kind of research strategies or techniques might take its place. In the paper describing GPT-4, OpenAI says its estimates suggest diminishing returns on scaling up model size. Altman said there are also physical limits to how many data centers the company can build and how quickly it can build them."
"After ChatGPT debuted in November, meme makers and tech pundits speculated that GPT-4, when it arrived, would be a model of vertigo-inducing size and complexity. Yet when OpenAI finally announced the new artificial intelligence model, the company didn’t disclose how big it is—perhaps because size is no longer all that matters. At the MIT event, Altman was asked if training GPT-4 cost $100 million; he replied, “It’s more than that.”
OpenAI’s CEO Says the Age of Giant AI Models Is Already Over

Intelligent IoT Gateway and it’s Importance in Today’s Connected World
Published onApril 17, 2023
VVDN publication
As per Statisa, there are a total of 15.14 billion connected IoT devices in 2023 globally, and this number is expected to cross 29 Billion by 2030.
Ever wondered how these devices communicate with each other and the external world? There is a central hub, or IoT Gateway, that serves as a bridge between the devices and the cloud, allowing for communication, data collection, and data processing.
In this blog, we will deep dive to understand what is an IoT gateway, key components to keep in mind while designing, benefits and use cases of using IoT gateways and how VVDN can help customers who are looking for a reliable and secure IoT gateway for their next- gen application.
What is an IoT Gateway? and how does it actually work?
An IoT gateway is a device that sits between the Internet of Things (IoT) devices and the cloud, allowing them to exchange data, perform analytics, and take actions based on the data collected.
The key components of IoT gateway engineering include:
- Hardware design: This involves designing the physical components of the gateway, such as the circuit board, power supply, and networking interfaces.
- Software development: This involves creating the firmware and software that runs on the gateway, including the operating system, drivers, and communication protocols.
- Mechanical: Designing the mechanical of the gateway also becomes important in terms of ruggedness, IP rating, etc to make it ideal for installing in harsh environments operating over a wide temperature range.
- Security: Since IoT devices are vulnerable to cyber-attacks, security is a critical component of IoT gateway engineering. Engineers must design the gateway with security in mind and implement appropriate security measures such as encryption, authentication, and access control.
- Connectivity: The gateway should have multiple connectivity options both wired and wireless such as Wi-Fi, Ethernet, Cellular (LTE, 4G, 5G), Bluetooth, and Zigbee, LoRa, etc to connect to different devices and transmission of data in real time.
- Integration: IoT gateways must be able to integrate with a wide range of devices and software platforms. Engineers must design the gateway to be compatible with various sensors, devices, and cloud platforms, as well as APIs and communication protocols.
- Testing and validation: Engineers must test and validate the IoT gateway to ensure that it functions properly and meets the desired performance requirements. This includes stress testing, functional testing, and interoperability testing.
Evolution of IoT Gateways:
In the past, gateways were designed only to facilitate communication and send the data to the cloud for further analytics and decision making. They do not support performing analytics on the edge. Nowadays, edge gateways are gaining popularity across the globe. They have the capability to perform all analytics on the edge without sending the data to the cloud which eventually reduces latency and improves response times, making IoT applications more responsive. With enabling 5G connectivity to these gateways, it can further help in gaining quick insights, automate and instantly give updates about the connected devices and sensors in real time.Here are some benefits of using an IoT gateway:
- Data aggregation: An IoT gateway can aggregate data from multiple IoT devices including sensors, cameras, etc, process it, and send it to the cloud for analysis. This can help reduce the amount of data that needs to be transmitted over the network, making it more efficient and reducing costs.
- Security: An IoT gateway can act as a firewall, protecting IoT devices from cyberattacks. It can also encrypt data as it is transmitted to the cloud, ensuring that data is protected from unauthorized access.
- Edge computing: An IoT gateway can perform some processing at the edge, reducing the amount of data that needs to be sent to the cloud. This can help reduce latency and improve response times, making IoT applications more responsive.
- Interoperability: An IoT gateway can provide a common interface between different types of IoT devices, making it easier to integrate new devices into an existing system.
- Scalability: An IoT gateway can help scale IoT deployments by providing a centralized management point for large numbers of IoT devices.
Use cases for IoT gateway:
An IoT gateway can help improve the efficiency, security, and reliability of IoT systems, making them more useful and effective for businesses and consumers. IoT gateways can be used in various use cases to connect and manage IoT devices. Here are some examples of IoT gateway use cases:- Industrial IoT (IIoT): In industrial environments or factories, an IoT gateway can be used to connect different types of sensors and devices, collect data from them, and transmit it to the cloud for analysis. This can help optimize industrial processes, improve efficiency, and reduce costs.
- Retail: In the retail industry, edge gateways are in high demand and can be used to know the consumer buying behavior, taste, needs and habits in real time.
- Smart City: IoT Gateways can be used in smart cities applications to collect the data from various sensors installed, cameras, etc and take action accordingly by processing the information either on edge or cloud.
- Transportation: In the transportation industry, an IoT gateway can be used to collect data from vehicles, including speed, location, and engine performance. This data can be used to optimize routes, improve fuel efficiency, and reduce maintenance costs.
- Smart Home: In a smart home, an IoT gateway can act as a central hub, connecting various smart devices like lights, thermostats, and security cameras. The gateway can then process and analyze the data collected from these devices and take appropriate actions, such as adjusting the temperature or turning on the lights.
- Agriculture: In agriculture, an IoT gateway can be used to collect data from soil sensors, weather stations, and other agricultural devices. This data can then be analyzed to optimize crop growth and increase yields.
- Healthcare: An IoT gateway can be used in healthcare settings to monitor patient health and collect data from medical devices like blood glucose monitors and blood pressure cuffs. This data can then be transmitted to healthcare providers for analysis and used to improve patient outcomes.
How VVDN can help its customers looking for IoT Gateways:
