BRN Discussion Ongoing

[FrederikSchack]

I previously thought little of SynSense, because they seem to have narrow targets with their products, plus not selling IP and that's still the same picture I get from the below article. On the other hand, the narrow focus and hardware implementation maybe give more tangible products to their customers:

It seems like the adoption of SynSense is still slow and I'm not very impressed that Dynap-CNN has a latency of 200ms for audio recognition!??? But it's enough for a toy.

In recent interview with Edge Impulse, Sean Heir mentioned that they are working on communication as something exciting. Zack kind of jokingly said “what like walki talkies”.

Then Sean went on stating that what he was referring to was more like telecommunications, radio technologies etc.

This comment from Joe talking about RF signal processing is interesting in light of what Sean talked about in that interview. I will have to go back and Re listen to it as I can’t quite pinpoint it exactly.

But this is what Chat GPT says RF signal processing is:

RF signal processing refers to the techniques and methods used for processing signals in the radio frequency (RF) range, typically from a few kilohertz to several gigahertz. These signals are used in a wide range of applications, including radio and television broadcasting, telecommunications, radar, and wireless networking.

The processing of RF signals involves a range of techniques, including modulation, demodulation, filtering, amplification, and frequency conversion. These processes are used to extract useful information from the RF signal, remove unwanted noise and interference, and prepare the signal for further processing or transmission.

RF signal processing is an important field of study in electrical engineering and communications, as it plays a critical role in the design and operation of many modern technologies.

Intellisense seem to agree Akida is a good fit for these type of use cases too.

"We are excited to partner with BrainChip and leverage their state-of-the-art neuromorphic technology," said Frank T. Willis, President and CEO of Intellisense. "By integrating BrainChip's Akida processor into our cognitive radio solutions, we will be able to provide our customers with an unparalleled level of performance, adaptability and reliability.

Intellisense's intelligent radio frequency (RF) system solutions enable wireless devices and platforms to sense and learn the characteristics of the communications environment in real time, providing enhanced communication quality, reliability and security. By integrating BrainChip’s Akida™ neuromorphic processor, Intellisense can deliver even more advanced, yet energy efficient, cognitive capabilities to its RF system solutions.”

You are correct Sean did say they are working with the communication company and NOT HAND SETS is what I heard. This makes a very compelling connection. Regardles Joe who used t oj work for DARPA with 500 million annual budgets speaks highly of Akida.
IMO I think his words have more weight then some negative bashers or writers looking for pennies.

If you research about Joe you will see how much influence he has in the DoD and see the potential income BRN can receive being in such projects. IMO

This is really big news that validates Akida even further then before. IMO

I do believe that this eco system approach gaining traction.

Excuse my ignorance...

Do we think this could/will contain BRN?

There is nothing to suggest that it will contain Akida, but we live in hope.

AI is flavour of the month.

ARM have Helium and Ethos, so they would not qualify as "more advanced".

ARM need to make a splash for their IPO.

What better way than adding the best and only digital SNN to M85?

Thanks. Makes sense.

And had to Google SNN

True and the timing of the recent podcast with ARM is also interesting. Are they setting the scene for the IPO? Upcoming BRN AGM could reveal some gems, although they might be disguised somewhat. Would be awesome for those attending to dig a little with pertinent questions.

Sentiment on this site seems to be improving and there seems to be some upward pressure on the share price now with volume of buyers to sellers looking a lot more positive - and why not? With all we know about what is going on the in the background with the partnerships and interest in the product surely it's just a matter of time now before we see concrete commercial announcements and revenue rolling in. You can't tell me that with everything going on right now, some very exciting things, that none of it will come to fruition. This is still the most exciting stock to be in IMO.

Patience is key, and I think the hard push down has rattled a few people.
Bottoming out around 40c now, so at least they don't feel like hope is lost anymore.
It's the reason the SP shouldn't be taken as an indication of company performance as that's an up-and-to-the-right trend, disproportionate to the SP.

Agreed, this is still a very exciting stock, and we will be rewarded, that I fully believe.

With due respect Sirod69, No.
These aren't the reasons people aren't investing money in stocks.

Increasing debts.
Interest rate hikes.
Inflation rate rises.
Increasing Property rates and rent rates.
Pressure on common man and woman to sustain livelihood while the beaurocrats and politicians divide and rule the unaware public.

There are many other reasons but climate change isn't why people aren't spending money on stocks.
- Animal extinction isn't why people aren't spending money on stocks.
- Russian "invasion" isn't why people aren't investing in stocks. (USA has been conquering and destroying/bombing nations for decades, stock markets have done fine).
- Climate change isn't a reason for investors to stay away, climate has been changing on earth for billions of years, no one can stop it.

BRN share performance has got nothing to do with these, I know these reasons will be shown to justify the poor performance, but many companies have done fairly well over the last couple of years, so let's not make excuses here.

My opinion only and apologies if it's different to yours.

With due respect I prefer to get my analysis of the world economy from a credible source. Sorry if they offer a different explanation to your opinion.

Global growth to slow to 2.6% in 2023​

Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine continues to overshadow the world economy. Despite recent signs of improvement, recovery over the next two years is expected to be moderate.
Global growth slowed in 2022 to 3.3%, more than 1 percentage point weaker than expected at the end of 2021, mainly weighed down by Russia’s war of aggression in Ukraine and the associated cost-of-living crisis in many countries.
Growth is projected to remain at below-trend rates in 2023 and 2024, at 2.6% and 2.9% respectively.
A key factor in the improvement in activity and sentiment in early 2023 was the recent decline in energy and food prices which is boosting purchasing power for most firms and households.
However, the improvement in the outlook is still fragile and downside risks predominate as high uncertainty generated by the war could take a heavy toll on activity.

Vivoka challenges the voice assistant giants with its offline solution​

Written by Anaïs DAUFFER​

Latest | Press Releases​

Paris, France. April 11, 2023. Vivoka is announcing an NLU (Natural Language Understanding) technology that is as powerful as the cloud, but running in an embedded voice assistant. In doing so, Vivoka is challenging the biggest in voice technology such as Siri, Alexa or Google Assistant as the French company stands out for its ability to operate offline and thus advocate data protection and Green IT.

An almost human voice assistant?​

The NLU (natural language understanding) allows voice assistants to understand any vocal command as long as the user’s intention is clear. Today, artificial intelligence pushes the limits of what is possible by allowing real interactions between humans and machines.

The voice assistant focuses on the intention and not on the words in particular. The machine, which learns from examples, will refine its understanding to interact more easily, quickly and widely with humans; this is called Machine Learning. Until now, embedded voice assistants have included predefined phrases and voice commands could not go outside of this framework.

“The current boundaries of embedded voice assistants lie in their limited ability to understand complex sentences. The NLU we’re working on will enable tomorrow’s assistants to not only perform as well as those available in the cloud, but also limit energy impact and protect our customers’ data.” said William Simonin, Vivoka’s co-founder and CEO.

The particularity of Vivoka, since the creation of its VDK (Voice Development Kit), is the fact that everything is offline (embedded). Indeed, the voice assistants, implemented in any device, can be used without an internet connection, which allows a total independence on the final product. This independence already takes effect in the development of Vivoka, which does not use any external components for this version of its software.

The disconnection mainly reduces the impact of data and data storage on the environment. Vivoka’s digital sobriety allows its customers to meet their sustainability goals while having a voice assistant as powerful as those connected.

The power of the cloud but embedded?​

Vivoka is the first company to achieve this!

“It was time to bring to the industry and to consumer electronic devices, the possibility to control their interfaces by voice, without having to make them dependent on the Internet, for a secure and operational use instantly. Well, it’s done with our voice development software VDK. In 2023, Vivoka brings embedded voice control to life with revolutionary AI functionality.” – confirms Emmanuel Chaligné, Product Director.

Many sectors, such as defense, industry, logistics or even household appliances, cannot depend on an internet-connected solution. As a result, the demand from players in these sectors is growing. Vivoka is not only established in France but worldwide thanks to this not so widespread technology. The development of this functionality based on natural language seemed logical to them:

“Today we export our VDK technology to all five continents and are present in many industrial sectors. We know the demand. Our partners have been waiting for a long time for a high-performance solution that allows their users to talk naturally to their systems, without going through the Internet. The technical barrier that we are going to remove with the first embedded NLU will make this possible. This was the logical next step in our development. It will allow Vivoka to show that the cloud is not an obligation, and that a company should not have to choose between performance and data protection.” says William Simonin.

Here are two examples of how an embedded NLU can be used:

• Professional setting:
  • Voice implemented in dental office chairs will allow practitioners to naturally and easily control patient height and tilt.
  • The NLU will enable next generation robots to be equipped with speech. Voice is a natural interaction and robots will be able to replicate human actions in many fields such as education, industry or health.
• Private setting:
  • In the future, household appliances will be controlled by voice without the need for the house to be connected and without an internet connection for these appliances. Users will not need to learn ready-made phrases, they will be able to speak naturally, as they would with other humans.

These are only 3 examples among many sectors concerned such as: IoT (internet of things), connected home, transport, logistics, education, connected glasses/headsets, robotics, defense and health

Interesting. The lanuage Teksun use is that they will integrate AKIDA into their products.
Also the language they use is they Vivoka will utilise Teksu product. The implication is that this product will contain AKIDA.
If so = revenue at some point.
