BRN Discussion Ongoing

[Rskiff]

I have been pondering why the potential delays in rolling out BRN IP into products etc given all the news to date from many angles and a response I received last week that didn’t really answer my questions as requested.
You have generally hit the nail right on the head with this one and it’s my thoughts it may be why some delays may be occurring to date in BRN final negotiations / signing on the dotted line with companies and then producing products for end users (customers) is until patents are formally granted and not just filed as application pending. It’s my understanding BRN have 30 patents approx filed with patent offices waiting to be granted but still filed as application pending. It’s my thoughts that once patents are formally granted by patent offices this may significantly derisk any issues for all parties concerned before producing products.

Always DYOR and enjoy any banter from fellow BRN posters as to why my thoughts are not the case as to a potential key reasons for delays in revenue etc for BRN.

Note - I assume this post will not be reported even though it appears to have negative content.

@The Pope It may be a question you should put forward at the AGM.

 

[The Pope]

Wasn’t it you asking the questions lol

Yes rocket, your recall is correct. Lol
Now join any other dots and maybe ask BRN management on patents prior or at the upcoming AGM

Also refer to my edit (just posted) to my last post to you. This may also assist from my point of view based on reading many posts from all on this forum and other sources to come to my current thoughts on patents (filed application pending).

It’s been mentioned to me that BRN management do read many the posts including wilzy gifs with bin on fire so I assume they may be reading my posts out of interest.

You may see me ask more questions on patents at the upcoming AGM. Pending how a question is asked and how BRN management respond (including silence or facial expressions) may speak volumes for shareholders. Hopefully all positive. Surely all BRN management attending can’t keep a poker face answering all questions.

Sad faces, thumbs down, grumpy faces, broken hearts and middle finger, could have a place on the opposite side of the poster's post?

Fire could have a place on both sides, potentially having a dual meaning..
Not sure how you'ld differentiate that one though ..

Sometimes I give someone a "burn" icon, but I think they think I liked their post..

@ZeebOt?..

Morning DingoBorat,

I always thought the flame icon meant... your on fire, Top job.

Maybe a wooden spoon picture... for the naughty ones.???

I still prefer a plain old for showing dissatisfaction to a post. No mistaking what that is

 

[Lex555]

I vote yes only because I want the execs to have a financial interest in an increasing share price

I agree and I’d also like to see execs buying on the market, if it’s still possible for them to do. Even if just token amounts, to me that’s the best signal, putting your money where your mouth is

TI makes Wi-Fi® technology more robust and affordable for connected IoT applications

New SimpleLink™ wireless connectivity devices enable efficient Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth® Low Energy 5.3 connections in any environment​

• Download high-res

DALLAS, April 18, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Texas Instruments (TI) (NASDAQ: TXN) today introduced a new SimpleLink™ family of Wi-Fi 6 companion integrated circuits (ICs) to help designers implement highly reliable, secure and efficient Wi-Fi connections at an affordable price for applications that operate in high-density or high-temperature environments up to 105ºC.
The first products in TI’s new CC33xx family include devices for Wi-Fi 6 only or for Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth Low Energy 5.3 connectivity in a single IC. When attached to a microcontroller (MCU) or processor, the CC33xx devices enable a secure Internet of Things (IoT) connection with reliable radio-frequency (RF) performance in broad industrial markets such as grid infrastructure, medical and building automation. For more information, see www.ti.com/cc33xx-pr.
"The adoption of Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 6E is accelerating, with 2.5 billion Wi-Fi 6 devices expected to ship worldwide in 2023," said Kevin Robinson, CEO of Wi-Fi Alliance. "Today’s Wi-Fi is well suited to address a variety of industrial IoT applications, and innovation from companies like Texas Instruments is helping expand the number of applications, such as electric vehicle charging systems, smart meters and smart appliances, that can rely on Wi-Fi to deliver reliable, consistent, and efficient connectivity in the IoT market."
Robust Wi-Fi performance at an affordable price
Building on TI’s growing wireless connectivity portfolio, the new SimpleLink CC3300 Wi-Fi 6 companion IC and CC3301 Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth Low Energy 5.3 companion IC start at US$1.60. The 2.4-GHz CC33xx devices provide greater Wi-Fi network efficiency and a stable connection across more than 230 access points, while operating at temperatures from –40ºC to 105ºC. The devices also allow designers to affordably connect their IoT edge nodes directly to home or enterprise access points without additional equipment.
The Wi-Fi 6 companion devices feature orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) technology and basic service set (BSS) coloring to deliver fast and consistent network performance and connect more devices simultaneously, without interference from congestion. The devices also support Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) security features, including the latest WPA3 cryptographic technologies for personal and enterprise networks and a secure boot feature with firmware authentication.
Flexibility to attach to MCUs and processors
SimpleLink CC3300 and CC3301 Wi-Fi 6 companion ICs easily attach to TI and many other companies’ MCUs and processors that support Linux® or real-time operating systems (RTOS). For example, CC33xx products easily attach to artificial intelligence (AI)-capable processors like TI’s new AM62A Arm® Cortex®-based vision processors, used in edge AI applications like smart appliances and security cameras to reliably connect smart Wi-Fi-enabled devices to the cloud.
Industrial design engineers can also incorporate TI’s CC3300 with host MCUs such as TI’s 2.4-GHz CC2652R7 SimpleLink multiprotocol wireless MCU or an AM243x MCU-hosted system to enable greater IoT flexibility with Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth LE 5.3, Thread, Zigbee 3.0 and Matter protocols.
"Adding a secure and robust wireless connection to an industrial design such an EV charging system that operates in an outdoor and potentially hard-to-reach environment is challenging and especially costly for designers," said Marian Kost, vice president and general manager of Connectivity at Texas Instruments. "Our new SimpleLink family of Wi-Fi devices makes it significantly more affordable and simpler to implement the latest Wi-Fi technologies in more places than ever before."
Package, availability and pricing
Design engineers can get started by requesting samples of the CC33xx companion ICs, which are available in a quad flat no-lead (QFN) package and start at US$1.60 in 1,000-unit quantities. A new, easy-to-use BP-CC3301 evaluation board is available for purchase on TI.com for US$39. Volume production for the CC3300 and CC3301 is expected in the fourth quarter of 2023. TI is also developing pin-to-pin compatible, dual-band 2.4- and 5-GHz Wi-Fi 6 devices that will be available as samples later this year.
CC33xx devices join TI’s growing portfolio of SimpleLink wireless MCUs, certified modules and companion ICs – along with design tools and software – designed to meet the toughest IoT connectivity design requirements. For more information, see www.ti.com/wireless.
Making connectivity simpler, scalable and more secure
TI is creating new possibilities with connectivity technology, building on its comprehensive portfolio of wired and wireless connectivity ICs. Available at an affordable price, these ICs are proven and tested to meet the highest industry and regulatory standards.
Additionally, all TI analog and embedded processing products are supported by the company’s internal manufacturing investments to help meet customer demand for decades to come.

Maybe the question to ask in regard to management performance is would we be scrutinising it so heavily if the share price were still above a $1? I personally think not.. The company (under Sean’s guidance) imo has put in place the drivers for incredible growth in the longer term. Growth that will be perpetual once it starts for real. I don’t think we should allow external factors outside of the company’s control which have influenced the direction of the share price muddy our view of managements performance.

Then how do you explain LDA =.58 and S/holder s/price at .42

 

[jtardif999]

Yep, but I do not think they would have produced a chip based on AKIDA 1000.
They waited for the improved AKIDA 1500 to be released which was more recent.
From memory AKIDA 1000 was the 1st release which BRN said was the market tester?

It can get quite confusing if you interchange chips with the architecture (the IP). My understanding is that the AKD1000 and AKD1500 (when we have it in hand) are based on the same Akida1.0 architecture - the neural fabric for both chips is the same neural fabric. The main differences AFAICT are around the way they have been fabricated with the 1500 in FDSOI tech and the 1000 in standard CMOS apparently making the 1500 more power efficient. They have also been fabricated at different foundries to help prove that Akida technology can be easily manufactured. Also the 1500 does not come with a preprocessor in place - it has a placeholder for the preprocessor whereas the 1000 comes equiped with an ARM preprocessor.

I hear the executives buying on the market comment many times. I would like to point out that insider trading works both ways buying and selling .

Could there possibly be a reason insiders can't buy tgat they have info that's not disclosed to the public?

If there are NDAs that are price sensitive then they can't by if this was made public then they could easily buy.

Just a thought IMO

 

[Labsy]

Look guys... the way I see it, there's a lot happening behind the scenes. We made tremendous progress last 12 months. We have a killer team and I want to rewards these guys. Call it intuition. Revenue, no revenue, it's a multi bagger which ever way you look at it and nothing will be more damaging than losing any key members due to short sighted decisions based on negative sentiment towards the water tight movement of sensitive news and respecting our customers wishes.... seriously let's get real, that's the only reason isn't it? The SP yeah? Cmon let's grow up a little and not chuck a hissy fit...
My large holding will vote affirmative to everything....as now is the time to show our support.

According to my wife Athene is the daughter of Zeus

Actually, both Microsoft and your wife are correct! Athena and Athene are simply alternative spellings of the name of the ancient Greek goddess of wisdom, battle strategy, warfare and arts & crafts, patron goddess and protectress of the city of Athens (and others).

Think of them as dialectal forms - Ἀθηνᾶ (Athēnâ) is the name’s Attic form, the Ancient Greek dialect that was spoken in and around Athens and thus over time became the most prestigious form of Greek (basically what we call Classical Greek today), whereas Ἀθήνη (Athḗnē) is Ionic Greek, a linguistically closely related sister dialect of Attic.
Homer, the presumed author of the epic poems Iliad and Odyssey, is said to have been a native of Ionia; his works are written in an artificial literary dialect, nowadays called Homeric or Epic Greek, which is predominantly based on Ionic but uses yet another version of the goddess‘s name: the so-called epic form Ἀθηναίη (Athēnaíē). By now it really shouldn’t come as a surprise that - believe it or not - I am going to pull one more dialect version out of Dr. Google’s hat, namely the Doric Ἀθάνα (Athā́nā).

In the Iliad and Odyssey, Athena/Athene/Athenaie/Athana, who is described as Zeus‘s favourite offspring, acts as divine counsellor to the Greek heroes (having a particular soft spot for Odysseus aka Ulysses) and heroically fights alongside them, favouring rational strategy, diplomacy and cunning over brute force, unlike her war god brother Ares, the personification of sheer brutality, bloodlust and slaughter, who is fighting on the side of the Trojans.
Well, we all know how the acceptance of that mythical colossal wooden gift horse is said to have sealed the Trojans‘ fate.

When ancient Greeks entered into combat, some of them are said to have worn breastplates with an image of Athena/Athene as their protectress, believing that she would fight alongside them, invisible to their eyes. That, in my opinion, could have been another reason for Microsoft to have picked that particular name for their very own AI chip besides the brainy symbolism of Athena‘s unusual birth, springing from her father Zeus‘s forehead fully grown and and in full armour: the hope of ultimately emerging victorious from the AI race with assistance of their tutelary deity, the patroness of heroes and warriors.

I think you are barking up the wrong tree Newk. You see management don't control the share price. The questions you should be asking are; Is management making the right connections with new and existing customers and partners? YES! Are they meeting performance goals with regard to product development and use of those products with appropriate developmental software and tools? Another big YES! Mmmm ... In fact I am thinking they are doing an outstanding job here.
Are they getting out and spruiking our IP and chip use at conferences and field days, seminars etc? A big YES again.

There is an old saying: Energy flows where attention goes. If you focus on all the negatives, then that will grow in importance to you. That circle gets bigger. If you focus on the progress that is being made with customers and partners you would be very encouraged. All be it that the company is bound by NDAs which are important to our customers and partners as well as ourselves.

As for someone's suggestion that the company should ditch all NDAs. Yeah, right. If you want to lose 90% of our customers who insist on the NDAs in order to maintain secrecy and stay ahead of their competition. How stupid a suggestion is that? Clearly from someone with no business acumen at all. I'm sure glad they are not running our business.

It is about time some posters got real instead of making ridiculous suggestions to feed into their negative sentiments. (Or is there some other underlying motive?)

Another interesting point; I remember some years ago my brother's broker said "Don't invest in Brainchip because they are not big enough and companies like Intel have deep pockets and will simply poach all the best talent from the company by offering them more money." (Or words to that effect.) How do you think we'd go if we weren't offering performance rights to our top personnel? Do you get the picture? By the way, I don't think share price is one of those performance indicators.

In summary:
1. This company is in sound hands with many of the top personnel and best brains in the industry.
2. Almost weekly new partnerships and customers are popping up. Well done and thank you to all the great researchers here who give their time so freely to keep us ahead of other less informed investors. In fact far better than many of the so called analysts who only seem to analyse their own navels ... and don't do that very well.
3. Our list of partners, customers, and developers continues to expand along with new industries that we are evolving to.
4. Performance goals are outstanding as we churn out the Akida 1000; 1500; 2000 ... with many more on the drawing board and in development. These are all technical masterpieces.
5. We are well cashed up to continue the development until revenue exceeds expenditure.
6. Our ground-breaking technology is protected by a growing list of patents and copyright registrations.
7. More staff are constantly being recruited to meet the growing customer demand (while other big tech firms are laying off thousands of personnel). That gives me lots of confidence
8. And for those shareholders who don't seem to be getting enough feedback from management I have a few suggestions for you:
a. Get off your arse and look at the company web site. Just about everything you want to know (that the company is allowed to tell you) is there.
b. If there is something specific you need to know then ring or send an email to our investor relations person Tony. It's not that hard you know.
c. Stop whingeing here over and over, and crapping all over our wonderful research exchange.
9. We KNOW what's coming and we know it takes time for the commercial products to hit the streets so remember, patience is a virtue. (Lord give me patience ... right bloody now!) LOL

And on a final note. I will be attending the AGM in Sydney where I hope to meet a lot of other LT shareholders. Stay positive everyone. You will live longer, and be happier.
Cheers
Deena

That was bloody brilliant, first thing I've read this morning, no need to read anymore. I'd better get ready for Adventure World! Thanks Deena
