BRN Discussion Ongoing

[Jchandel]

WIth BrainChip, we propose to capitalise on innovations that have revolutionised the use of smart phones such as in micro-opto-electronics, chip and wireless technologies We will engineer a wireless and fully implantable smart Neuroprobe-on-a-chip, a device that can decode and manipulate neural activity in real time. This disruptive technical advancement will allow a radical increase in a subject’s freedom of movement while preserving state-of-the-art quality of recordings of neural activity. We have an ideal team to achieve this by combining expertise from the Microsystem and Nanotechnology Lab at SINTEF with neuroscientists at UiO (medical faculty). BrainChip will develop and test the Neuroprobe in a translational project of freely moving, focusing on mouse models of dementia and sleep. Our long-term goal is to establish the Neuroprobe-on-a-chip beyond brain research and contribute towards low-cost and high-precision ambulatory instrumentation for early detection, prevention, and ultra-long-term monitoring of brain disorders in patients.

Not reading into it anymore than the significance of the face value of the situation.

The fact is, the son of the chairperson of the scientific advisory board at Brainchip is a software engineering manager at Apple....

It cannot be a bad thing.

My aunts, brothers, uncles, sisters, mums, cousin also knows a software engineer at apple, does that count

Great find @Jchandel

Knew I recalled the source name.

The Norwegians obviously know of and interested in Akida.

I posted last year about eX3 and guess who funds them as well.

While on first pass it looks like our company, unfortunately a second reading (to me) shows that it's a neurological implant (a la Musk's Neuralink) brain-computer interface.

@Fullmoonfever As for the HiSilicon's KunPeng chip hosting 4 Akida nodes, I would imagine if that were the case, there would have been a price sensitive IP licensing announcement seeing that the chip is slated for sale this year.

Happy to be wrong though.

Hi MMH.
Just wondering why you think it's not an Akida enabled device because it's implantable?
Parts of the cochlea hearing device are implanted and there has been supposition in the past that we may be involved in future evolved versions of that.

When they say "BrainChip will develop and test the Neuroprobe" i feel they are talking about the Company not Akida.
If they were using a Brain Chip aka Neuralink I feel they would have said Neuralink??
We shall see

Some very interesting comments made by Musk here:

https://www.thestreet.com/electric-vehicles/elon-musk-has-a-blunt-message-for-nvidia

"Nvidia Won't Have a Monopoly: Musk

Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla (TSLA) - Get Free Report, is not very impressed with this performance. The billionaire, who was one of the first to invest in OpenAI, the startup that developed ChatGPT, believes that Nvidia's current popularity is also due to the fact that the group enjoys a virtual monopoly situation. This will not last, promises Musk, who foresees the arrival of other actors able to produce processors capable of being very efficient in their task of taking data, collecting and classifying them at a very accelerated rate. These processors are called neural network accelerator chips (NN accelerators).

For the billionaire, the competition is coming after Nvidia."

"True. Also, many other NN accelerator chips are also under development," the tech mogul commented. "Nvidia will not have a monopoly on large-scale training & inference forever."

Socionext to Showcase New Automotive Radar Sensor Technology at Sensors Converge 2023, Booth 1549​

Advanced RF CMOS Sensors for In-Cabin Driver and Passenger Monitoring Systems Deliver Ground-breaking Functional and Safety Benefits​

Milpitas, Calif., Jun 8, 2023 --- Socionext, a global leader in high-precision sensor technology, will showcase its cutting-edge millimeter-wave integrated radar solutions for optimizing in-cabin automotive applications at the annual Sensors Converge Conference & Expo 2023 at the Santa Clara (Calif.) Convention Center June 21-22.
At Booth 1549, Socionext will debut its new AEC-Q100 automotive-grade qualified SC1260 Series intelligent, ultra-low-power, ultra-compact, all-in-one CMOS 60GHz radar sensors. The devices are designed to enable easy acquisition of three-dimensional (3D) positions, and feature temperature tolerances ranging from -40°C to 125°C.
One of the members of the new series, the SC1260AR3, has been nominated as a “2023 Best of Sensors Award” finalists. The SC1260AR3 comes with time-division multiplexing (TDM-MIMO) operation and multiple transmitting and receiving Antennas-in-Package (AiP) that can very accurately detect the position and movement of multiple passengers in a vehicle.
The new SC1260 Series offers a broad range of benefits for automotive applications, including:
60GHz radar sensors for high-precision occupant detection and infant wellness monitoring.
The device is explicitly designed for high-precision in-cabin sensing with TDM-MIMO, enabling a single sensor to detect multiple passengers seated in a row. The sensor has the capability to differentiate pets from humans and monitor vital signs such as heartbeat and respiration. Such technology is especially significant when infants and pets are left or forgotten in poorly ventilated or hot cars. Since radar can penetrate through solid non-metallic material, the technology can detect infants wrapped in blankets or hidden from view.
Anti-theft measures and monitoring of abnormal occurrences surrounding the vehicle, including pre- and post-collision video recording.
Radar has the capability to sense suspicious activities in and around the near field of a vehicle, then activate a dashcam to initiate recording. The ultra-low power sensors also can be useful in a vehicle that is parked and may be prone to hit-and-run incidents. While conventional camera systems record an intrusion or a collision only after they take place, new automotive dashcam systems using Socionext’s radar sensor can detect incoming vehicles and record an incident prior to the occurrence. The device is capable of 24/7 uninterrupted operation using a mere ~1mW of power.
Advances in touchless hand gesture control using the latest radar technology.
Socionext’s smart sensor offers 3D hand gesture recognition to operate in-vehicle displays and infotainment systems.
As the demand for high-precision, multi-functional automotive systems continues to grow, radar sensing technology products offered by Socionext provide a broad range of features and benefits for improving vehicle occupant safety and enhancing a car owner’s overall driving experience.

I don’t know if this has been posted before, but I found this report from March this year. Link to the full report below, but I was interested in the two snippets extracted below. An area I had not considered and reasoning behind the slow take-up of our product in smart home.

BrainChip’s second-gen neuromorphic silicon gunning for the big boys - Rethink

Neuromorphic chip designer BrainChip has unveiled the second generation of its Akida platform. Taking inspiration from the human brain, these chips promise to slash the compute costs burdening enterprises and operators, by moving those workloads into bespoke edgy silicon, and out of expensive...

rethinkresearch.biz

There are no public second generation customers yet, but Renesas and MegaChips have both licensed the first-generation designs. For video capture, production, and initial distribution, there are plenty of applications for this neuromorphic silicon, which should mature in time.

However, “I think the pay TV operators are at the very tail end of the technical spectrum, and I say that in a nice way,” said Nayampally. “They are a very margin-driven business, so they work on chips they can build with – the lowest common denominators. So, they will require a silicon partner to promote these new capabilities, and we are working on it.”

As BrainChip’s targets include many Internet of Things (IoT) applications, it was only a matter of time until the smart home opportunity came up. Asked whether operators were showing interest in the Matter-spurred second wave of smart home, Nayampally said “we’re not seeing it yet, to be brutally honest.”

“It’s mostly because we’re not in the phase where we are pushing a proven solution. Most want a complete reference design for their stack, and as the IP model, in our first-generation designs, we were essentially proving the silicon. With the second, we can start to build these reference designs, and help them scale it.”
