Good Afternoon Chippers,

Just wondering if any Chippers have any loose links connecting us to HITACHI Limited.

Some of Hitachi's products....

1.

The Hitachi EX8000-7 and 7B model is built in Japan and manufactured by Hitachi. It’s currently Hitachi’s largest excavator.

The full-box section design of its front shovel, boom, and arm evenly distributes the stress and weight of loads, helping keep the vehicle stable while operating on rough terrain or lifting heavy materials.

In general, the machine is designed for safety and ease of use, with additional features like engine stop switches, an on-board inclinometer, and an auto-lubrication system supporting teams through large-scale mining activities.

Hitachi Magic Wand

Hitachi Magic Wand (HV-250R)
Other names	Magic Wand Magic Wand Original Original Magic Wand The Hitachi
Type	Electric, wall-powered vibrating massager
Company	Hitachi
Country	Japan
Availability	25 April 1968–present
Slogan	Powerful, penetrating vibrations

The Hitachi Magic Wand (renamed Magic Wand Original and Original Magic Wand) is an AC-powered wand vibrator. It was originally manufactured for relieving tension and relaxing sore muscles, however, it is most known for its use as a sex toy. Japanese company Hitachi listed the device for business in the United States in 1968. Sex educator Betty Dodson popularized its use as a vibrator and masturbation aid for women during the sex-positive movement in the late 1960s. It functions effectively as a clitoral vibrator, to bring women to orgasm. The wand is 12 inches (30 cm) long and weighs 1.2 pounds (540 g) with stimulation provided by its rubberized 2.5-inch (64 mm) head.
Hitachi asserts that its sole intended use is for health care purposes. Hitachi's national sales manager said "we approach the massagers as personal care items... the people we hire know what it's for without our having to say it".[1] Hitachi had a conflict with its U.S. distributor in 2000 and briefly stopped selling the device, until it reached a new deal with distributor Vibratex. The Magic Wand sold out after being featured in a 2002 episode of Sex and the City. Hitachi ceased production of the device in 2013 because of concerns about having the company name attached to a sex toy. Vibratex persuaded the company to continue manufacturing it under the name "Original Magic Wand", omitting the Hitachi name. In 2014, the company used the name "Magic Wand Original".
Academics have researched its use for treatment of female sexual arousal disorder and chronic anorgasmia—a sexual dysfunction in which a person cannot achieve orgasm. The Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology published a 1979 study which found self-administered treatment and use of the Magic Wand to be the best method to achieve orgasm. In 2008, The Scientific World Journal published research finding over 93% of a group of 500 chronic anorgasmic women could reach orgasm using the Magic Wand and the Betty Dodson Method. The device was used in studies in many applications, including articles published in Dermatology Online Journal, Journal of Applied Physiology, Experimental Brain Research, Neuroscience Letters, and Journal of Perinatal & Neonatal Nursing.
The Magic Wand has alternatively been referred to as the Cadillac of vibrators,[2][3][4] the Rolls-Royce of vibrators,[5][6][7] and the mother of all vibrators.[8][9][10] Counselors Bettina Arndt, Laura Berman, Gloria Brame, and Ruth Westheimer (Dr. Ruth) recommended the device to women, and Cosmopolitan magazine reported the Magic Wand was the vibrator most often suggested by sex therapists. Mobile Magazine readers in 2005 voted the Magic Wand "the No. 1 greatest gadget of all time".[11] Tanya Wexler's film Hysteria featured the device while showing the evolution of the vibrator. Engadget called the Magic Wand "the most recognizable sex toy on Earth".[12]

Design and features[edit]​

Hitachi listed the Magic Wand for business use with the United States Patent and Trademark Office on 25 April 1968.[12][13]
The device is 30 cm (12 in) long and it weighs 540 g (1.19 lb).[2][5][12] Muscle and nerve stimulation is provided by the device's rubberised, 6.4 cm (2.5 in) head, which is attached to the main body of the massager via a flexible neck.[14][15] A 1.8 m (6 ft) cord is attached to the device to provide power from mains electricity with alternating current, and requires 120 volts.[12][16] It does not take batteries.[16] The massager provides two vibration rates—5,000 and 6,000 rpm, which are equivalent to 83 Hz and 100 Hz—that are controlled by a switch on its body.[12][14][17] Specifically, research published in the journal Sexual and Relationship Therapy determined that the Magic Wand operated on its low setting at a frequency of 89 Hz and at 101 Hz on its high setting.[16] Its displacement was measured as 0.45 mm (0.018 in), with an acceleration of 185.7 μg (0.002866 gr).[16] Because the device was not originally designed as a sexual stimulation aid, it exhibits some deficiencies when used for this purpose.[12] Apart from its size, bulk, and its reliance on a mains power supply that limits its portability, it is not waterproof or water-resistant, and it overheats when used for more than 25 minutes.[12] It does not work well in electrical outlets in all countries internationally.[18][19]
Because of the Magic Wand's popularity, various aftermarket attachments with differences in colour, pattern of studs, and material, became available to purchase.[12][14] Such attachments have been produced by many companies without ties to Hitachi.[20] Without attachments, the device functions effectively as a clitoral vibrator, able to bring women to orgasm.[21] Add-ons that are fitted over the top of the device and are used to excite the clitoris are available.[6] An attachment called the "Wonder Wand" allows women to feel vibrations deep into the vagina.[17][22] According to an article in the Dermatology Online Journal, "The Wonder Wand" is created from a plastic material which is even in consistency and may be simply cleansed after use.[17] Attachments made of silicone designed to aid with penetrative sensations or to modify texture of the device are available.[23] An add-on called the "G-Spotter" fits over the device in the same fashion and turns the device into a G-spot vibrator. The "Gee-Whiz" (also referred to as "G-Whiz") is a similar type of attachment used to stimulate the G-spot.[5][24] The "Flutter Tip Wand Attachment" may be placed over the device and can be used to mimic the sensation of cunnilingus.[25] "Liberator Axis" is a booster pillow that stabilizes the Magic Wand so the user does not have to hold it with their hands during use.[10][26] Attachments have been sold by Betty Dodson on her website, which provides pictorial instructions on their use with the Magic Wand.[17][27] The massager may be used without attachments for men or with the "G-Whiz" attachment; when held on the penis it can stimulate pleasurable sensations in the prostate.[5] An attachment made by an unaffiliated company provides a cap that fits over the top of the device so it can function as a male masturbation sleeve.[20] In Japan, an attachment is sold for men to stimulate the prostate through the rectum.[28]


One can only imagine were a hook up with HITACH could take BrainChip's Akida....... or vice versa.

Would appear Hitachi not only make 900 odd ton excavates but also dabble in .......errr.......Sex toys.
I know people laugh every time I mention Dildinics ....but hay...its a massive market , and unlike tracking Super Sonic intercontinental missiles ( lots of prior testing before deployment ), well one would imagine a rouge dilldo would be pretty harmless ( quick design then to market ), not like your going to loose a eye if it goes rouge.

And yes , before anyone asks, apparently I am classed as a sophisticated investor.

Bit of fun on another quiet day.

24. Neuromorphic Computing that Expands the Scope of Edge AI with Ultra-low Power Consumption​

AI techniques such as image recognition are now finding applications in edge devices. However, if AI is to be widely adopted in the diverse environments at the network edge, power consumption needs to be as low as possible.

The human brain is known to consume a mere 20 W of power. By using neuromorphic algorithms and innovative devices to mimic its operation, the energy required to perform image recognition by techniques such as deep learning can be reduced more than 100-fold compared to a GPU. Hitachi has developed recognition algorithms suitable for use in video surveillance. Because this allows advanced recognition tasks such as identifying the attributes or actions of people to run on less than 1 W of power, it can be incorporated into security cameras, drones, or other edge devices to perform real-time, on-the-spot incident detection without having to send back video for processing on a server or the cloud.

In the future, Hitachi intends to help make people safer and more secure by investigating the use of this technology in real-time monitoring and surveillance solutions for public transportation and workplaces as well as other indoor and outdoor locations.

So, am assuming all these quarter cent, CX (centre point) trades for 1 and 2 shares at a time is the BEOT selling to themselves from one controlled entity to another as a price control mechanism.
They nudge the price up or down when they are operating and occasionally are supplemented by large volumes pushed through quickly when they want to apply more extreme pressure and set off stop losses.
Along with the prop orders on both sides of the ledger they pretty much seem to have our share price under they're control.
Anything that goes awry can be regulated at the end of day auctions and the board is reset next morning.
Top that off with ethically dubious paid performers to rattle genuine holders confidence and Bob's they're uncle, with just about all the balls on the table under varying degrees of influence.
Am assuming the recent shorting pressure (last 12-18 months) is designed to weed out and extract the last drops of blood from the less experienced punters who came on board during the Covid episode when the country was awash with virtually interest free government handout money.

‘Nobody gets sacked for buying IBM’

Many of us will recall this description for taking the safe route, and sticking with the tried and true rather than opting for a more adventurous pathway with cutting edge technology. When I was breaking my back in the 80’s, trying to introduce an entirely new automated way to initially store and then retrieve items as part of the manufacturing and warehouse process, I heard this catch cry numerous times. Back then I used to answer this by saying…we have to be like women in the workforce…twice as good to be considered the same.

Me thinks this is one reason why it’s taking our battler longer to break through the corporate maze than we would all like. Let’s face it, if your average manager was prepared to risk his job in an attempt to do things better, he most likely wouldn’t be a manager…he’d own or at least run the business.

VonNuemann architecture isn’t going anywhere, anytime soon…it’s what’s known and been trusted for decades. Equally there are decades of trained engineers who understand it, and there’s lots of legacy code in the market that will never be re-written.The cost-benefit analysis of jumping architectures is not easily justifiable. However, our battler believes for ’green field edge AI’ there is a very different story. There isn’t legacy code everywhere, and there are not set standards in the marketplace to breakdown or overcome. For this reason, Antonio sees unique architectures winning...and the trick is to have an offering that is compelling, cost effective, and easy to implement.

He believes there is one part of the market focused on high end solutions (think Jetson Nano or Intel) and another part simply using basic technology (simple processors) with targeted software. For those using higher end solutions, it is complete overkill, inefficient and expensive. For those using basic offerings, they’re seeking solutions that are good enough and safe, by using what is known rather than taking a risk and achieving something that is truly excellent. Current market conditions also play into this latter scenario. Brainchip is focusing its solutions on those who have overkill approaches, but at the same time, targeting a significant portion of those taking the basic route, and thus missing out on the huge benefits edge-AI can offer their end systems.

Akida 1.0 Brainchip is amazing technology, but it hasn’t been an easy solution to implement. Antonio and Sean understand and are addressing the reasons for this. They’re creating what they call an ecosystem to ensure Akida is an integral part of packaged solutions, ready to go and easy to implement.

You may recall Akida 1.0 was delayed for months whilst Peter, Anil and their teams addressed the need for CNN : SNN. This was painful at the time, but extremely important today. Apart from Peter’s ongoing brilliance, the second generation of Akida and Akida 1.5 are also embracing features that customer/partners hoped for, and maybe only dreamed about.

So very soon in a place near you, our battler will be able to offer not only amazing technology, but amazing technology that is ready to go, easy to implement, and well supported by a superb ecosystem of partners…in other words, exactly what the market requires.

The path of "paradigm pioneers" is certainly not an easy one. I have been involved in a number of "bleeding edge" developments over the years so appreciate the difficulty in getting something new established.

That said, I think the Brainchip commercialisation team have, and perhaps continue to be, guilty of elephant and whale hunting. Let me give you an example. In 2017 I approached the Australia rep about a potential use of Studio for parking and human access control in major high rise buildings. I had a hot and willing prospect in the Middle East which, if successful, would have led to some very large contracts indeed. We set up a small trial that was somewhat successful but the project needed more work from myself, my prospect and Brainchip to achieve the required goals. I was pretty excited because I had deep and wide connections in the building management industry in Australasia, the Middle East and the USA. However, it never got off the ground. I was told that Brainchip management (unnamed) was not willing to assist any further as they wanted to concentrate on the "law enforcement" market. And we all know how that ended up..........

Every new technology development that I have been involved with over the years has used a "thin edge of the wedge" commercialisation strategy. Get the technology into a real world product, however small, to show the doubters that its not vapourware.......

Now I'm not saying the use case I had for Studio would have been a company maker, but it would have shown that the technology was viable in a commercial setting. I wonder how may other "small projects" have been left by the wayside while the commercial team is out hunting elephants and whales?????

I sooooooooo hope this Renesas/Akida product being manufactured at the moment is destined for a real live commercial application. I can't see Renesas going to the trouble of creating it if it were not for a specific customer so fingers crossed..........

Hey Esq.111,

'All road lead to Rome'

No direct connection with Hitachi as yet.

However,

'Renesas Electronics Corporation (ルネサス エレクトロニクス株式会社, Runesasu Erekutoronikusu Kabushiki Gaisha) is a Japanese semiconductor manufacturer headquartered in Tokyo, Japan, initially incorporated in 2002 as Renesas Technology, the consolidated entity of the semiconductor units of Hitachi and Mitsubishi excluding their dynamic random-access memory (DRAM) businesses,[4] to which NEC Electronics merged in 2010, resulting in a minor change in the corporate name and logo to as it is now.[5]'

Hitachi probably still own a piece of Renesas Learning

‘Nobody gets sacked for buying IBM’

Many of us will recall this description for taking the safe route, and sticking with the tried and true rather than opting for a more adventurous pathway with cutting edge technology. When I was breaking my back in the 80’s, trying to introduce an entirely new automated way to initially store and then retrieve items as part of the manufacturing and warehouse process, I heard this catch cry numerous times. Back then I used to answer this by saying…we have to be like women in the workforce…twice as good to be considered the same.

Me thinks this is one reason why it’s taking our battler longer to break through the corporate maze than we would all like. Let’s face it, if your average manager was prepared to risk his job in an attempt to do things better, he most likely wouldn’t be a manager…he’d own or at least run the business.

VonNuemann architecture isn’t going anywhere, anytime soon…it’s what’s known and been trusted for decades. Equally there are decades of trained engineers who understand it, and there’s lots of legacy code in the market that will never be re-written.The cost-benefit analysis of jumping architectures is not easily justifiable. However, our battler believes for ’green field edge AI’ there is a very different story. There isn’t legacy code everywhere, and there are not set standards in the marketplace to breakdown or overcome. For this reason, Antonio sees unique architectures winning...and the trick is to have an offering that is compelling, cost effective, and easy to implement.

He believes there is one part of the market focused on high end solutions (think Jetson Nano or Intel) and another part simply using basic technology (simple processors) with targeted software. For those using higher end solutions, it is complete overkill, inefficient and expensive. For those using basic offerings, they’re seeking solutions that are good enough and safe, by using what is known rather than taking a risk and achieving something that is truly excellent. Current market conditions also play into this latter scenario. Brainchip is focusing its solutions on those who have overkill approaches, but at the same time, targeting a significant portion of those taking the basic route, and thus missing out on the huge benefits edge-AI can offer their end systems.

Akida 1.0 Brainchip is amazing technology, but it hasn’t been an easy solution to implement. Antonio and Sean understand and are addressing the reasons for this. They’re creating what they call an ecosystem to ensure Akida is an integral part of packaged solutions, ready to go and easy to implement.

You may recall Akida 1.0 was delayed for months whilst Peter, Anil and their teams addressed the need for CNN : SNN. This was painful at the time, but extremely important today. Apart from Peter’s ongoing brilliance, the second generation of Akida and Akida 1.5 are also embracing features that customer/partners hoped for, and maybe only dreamed about.

So very soon in a place near you, our battler will be able to offer not only amazing technology, but amazing technology that is ready to go, easy to implement, and well supported by a superb ecosystem of partners…in other words, exactly what the market requires.

Would say so...amongst some certain others

The path of "paradigm pioneers" is certainly not an easy one. I have been involved in a number of "bleeding edge" developments over the years so appreciate the difficulty in getting something new established.

That said, I think the Brainchip commercialisation team have, and perhaps continue to be, guilty of elephant and whale hunting. Let me give you an example. In 2017 I approached the Australia rep about a potential use of Studio for parking and human access control in major high rise buildings. I had a hot and willing prospect in the Middle East which, if successful, would have led to some very large contracts indeed. We set up a small trial that was somewhat successful but the project needed more work from myself, my prospect and Brainchip to achieve the required goals. I was pretty excited because I had deep and wide connections in the building management industry in Australasia, the Middle East and the USA. However, it never got off the ground. I was told that Brainchip management (unnamed) was not willing to assist any further as they wanted to concentrate on the "law enforcement" market. And we all know how that ended up..........

I've been thinking along similar lines myself Toasty but without the elephant and whale analogy. I think most of us were hoping Mercedes would be it but they seem to have pivoted.

As posted by Chapman89 on 15th June Megachips are not to far off with the Next generation Camera (ASIC). Scroll down the page to see it.
Contains Brainchip Embedded AKIDA IP.
In the Interview the day after the AGM Sean said when talking about customers etc " if you want to buy a Prophesse camera you want to know Brainchip works well with them". Circa 11.25 area of recording.
Likely first cab off the rank IMO will be Renesas. Their AKIDA chip should be off the production line soon. In an April Investor presentation Sean said "coming months".
Stocks move on expectations. Otherwise we would all be billionaires if we could buy at ultra cheap prices on actual revenue anns for any company let alone BRN.
Strong expectation indications of forthcoming revenue IMO should start appearing later this year. Maybe even Renesas in July or August'23?

Not sure this has been posted.

An interview with emotion3D CEO.

At the 9 minute he mention the partnership with Brainchip. From what I gather: in cabin health monitoring is where things are at with Brainchip & emotion3D

Though?

Are you sure? I've listened three times around the 9 minute and onwards and no mention of Brainchip.
