I also have something else to add to that. Once again it's lost in my history and currently on three muscle relaxants due to sleeping on a really uncomfortable couch last few nights
Might sink one beer and it's good night Irene for me. Must say it's been years since experiencing excruciating pain like this. Definitely triggered sciatica again that butt cheek pain working it way down my leg .

Prophesee releases industrial-grade neuromorphic sensor​

Prophesee%20Metavision%20sensor%20packaged1.jpg

Prophesee has released what it says is the first industrial event-based vision sensor in a commercially viable, industry standard package.
Event-based vision technology takes a different imaging approach to traditional frame-based sensors. Each pixel in Prophesee’s Metavision sensor only activates if it detects a change in the scene – an event – which means low power, latency and data processing requirements compared to traditional frame-based systems.
The third-generation VGA sensor is aimed at developers of cameras for industrial automation and IoT systems such as robots, inspection equipment, monitoring, and surveillance devices.
Prophesee has been working with camera maker Imago Technologies, which has integrated Prophesee’s sensor inside its VisionCam smart camera. This Metavision sensor release opens up event-based imaging to many more camera makers and the wider industrial imaging market.
‘A lot has been said about the performance [of event-based sensors]; a lot of claims have been made, but most of this comes from academia,’ Luca Verre, co-founder and CEO of Prophesee, told Imaging and Machine Vision Europe. ‘When we started the company we worked to prove the technology, and it took effort to industrialise it. Now it’s ready to use.’
Prophesee was formed five years ago, originally under the name of Chronocam. It has raised $68m in investment to date, and now has more than 100 employees, most of them based in Paris, France, but with offices in Grenoble, Silicon Valley, Shanghai and Tokyo. Its neuromorphic vision technology – it mimics the function of biological sight – can run at an equivalent of 10,000 images per second, with high dynamic range, and excellent power efficiency.
Each pixel is independent and asynchronous, adjusting at the pixel level according to the dynamic and the light in the scene. If part of the scene is static – like the floor in an industrial setting – no information will be recorded. Slow changes in the scene will be sampled slowly; if something fast happens the pixel will react quickly.
Because the sensor is only recording dynamic events, the data volume is relatively low. ‘The amount of data we produce is orders of magnitude lower than what you would get with a frame camera,’ Verre said.
He said that the efficiency of the sensor means high-speed counting, operating at thousands of frames per second, can be run on a mobile system-on-chip, such as a Snapdragon 845. Imago’s VisionCam product carries out image processing internally on a computer board.
Prophesee is working on a project counting droplets being deposited very quickly on a target object. ‘We can do this at high precision and with low compute,’ Verre said.
Monitoring vibration of machines for predictive maintenance is another application Prophesee is involved in. The sensor can measure vibration frequency and amplitude in real time to give an indication of when a machine might be about to fail.
A more traditional approach would be to use an accelerometer, but an image sensor is non-intrusive and can monitor inaccessible parts of the machine or areas that get very hot.
Prophesee has also deployed its sensor with a large machine tools manufacturer to monitor laser welding. The exposure of each pixel in the Metavision sensor can be adjusted independently, giving a wide dynamic range, making it useful for imaging a bright weld spot.
The customer is looking to track the laser spot as it moves along the seam, as well as monitoring the spatter or debris produced by the weld – the size of debris particles can give an indication of the quality of the weld. The aim is for the system to provide a closed feedback loop, so that the laser parameters can be controlled in real time for a higher quality weld.
Prophesee is also exploring ways of inspecting mobile phone screens for surface damage, by vibrating the phone and measuring how light is scattered from the surface – light will reflect differently depending on whether the phone is scratched or completely flat and undamaged.
It has also shown that the sensor can be used for volume measurements by combining it with structured light.
The sensor is supported by a software development kit (SDK), a full set of drivers, the Prophesee Player tool for recording sequences and visualising data, and an online knowledge centre containing useful resources for developers.
The chip is available in a 13 x 15mm mini PBGA package. The sensor has a 640 x 480-pixel resolution with 15μm pixels in a 3/4-inch optical format. It is manufactured in a 0.18μm specialised CIS process.
Verre said that the company’s technology follows the same rules as conventional CMOS sensors in terms of geometry and optics. The difference comes at the level of processing, he added. The firm’s SDK includes turnkey solutions for counting, tracking, optical flow, 3D measurements, and vibration measurements, but it is also working with and training distributors and system integrators.
Engineering samples of the fourth generation of the sensor are already available.

LASSEN PEAK RAISES $10,000,000 IN SEED FUNDING FOR WEAPONS SEARCH TECHNOLOGY

Company Will Develop Fully-Integrated Handheld Radar System to Improve Public Safety
November 16, 2021 — Bellevue, WA — Today, Lassen Peak announced the completion of Seed financing of $10 million with Alpha Intelligence Capital, Lauder Partners, Orbit Venture Partners, and other strategic seed investors participating in the investments. In conjunction with the Seed capital, Lassen Peak is developing the world’s first fully-integrated handheld radar system for concealed weapon detection that can be conducted anywhere in the field for use in Law Enforcement, Military, and Private Venue applications.
...
Lassen Peak recently completed and released its proprietary fully-integrated Radar-System-On-Chip (RSOC) for prototype fabrication – this device will be at the core of Lassen Peak’s handheld system. The RSOC architecture provides an industry breakthrough in both lateral and range precision necessary to distinguish key identifiers of dangerous weapons and objects, such as the detailed characteristics of guns and knives, while also discerning among items that do not pose a threat, such as keys, wallets, and other common objects. Other technologies, such as Artificial Intelligence and a records management system will be provided with the handheld solution to serve the 18,000 law enforcement departments across the United States, as well as federal agencies, and qualified private security organizations and countries around the globe.

now they've come back for more in late 2022.

Talking about beer and sleep. One more thought for the night... Prophesee has invented a vision camera which is event based. Could Brainchip IP be used in this device, we wait and see..

Article dated: Jun 24, 2022

Based on further research, Brainchip has been working with Prophesee on this exact device for over 12 months so therefore based on this known information, the question needs to be asked where is this at with Brainchip? The above recent article specifies that the event based camera has already been released...

BrainChip, Prophesee to deliver “neuromorphic” event-based vision systems for OEMs​

BrainChip, Prophesee to deliver “neuromorphic” event-based vision systems for OEMs

BrainChip, a neuromorphic computing IP vendor, and Prophesee, an embedded neuromorphic vision systems vendor, have partnered to deliver advanced event-based vision systems with integrated low-power technology coupled with high AI performance.
The collaboration will enable enterprise customers to explore edge artificial intelligence use cases with neuromorphic vision systems. Neuromorphic systems function in a way not unlike how living brains function. As such, they are better for different tasks than one generally would feed to artificial-intelligence algorithms. The systems process individual real-world data samples immediately with low latency and power consumption.

Paris-based Prophesee has developed advanced neuromorphic vision systems through their patented sensor design and AI algorithms. Event-based vision systems are expected to take over the traditional frame-based approach to make machine vision more accessible and practical for developers.
“We have successfully ported the data from Prophesee’s neuromorphic-based camera sensor to process inference on Akida with high performance,” said Anil Mankar, co-founder and CDO of BrainChip. “This combination of machine vision sensors with Akida’s ability to process data with improved efficiency, precision and energy-efficient at the point of acquisition advances state-of-the-art AI enablement and offers manufacturers ready-to-implement solutions.”

What is an event-based vision?​

The research to evaluate human vision capabilities have taken a big leap over the last couple of years. Existing research shows that humans can gather data from a scene that is changing at a rate of up to 1000 times a second. However, this information is encoded, which is likely impossible for fixed frame-rate cameras to observe using the typical 60 frames per second that high-quality cameras record.
To change this paradigm, event-based sensing has garnered attention. Event-based vision systems rely on each pixel to sense significant change and reduce the recording of redundant data to save processing power, memory and other associated resources.
Basically, event-based vision systems are inspired by the way the human eye works; this miniature vision system enables efficient streaming of visual data for real-time analytics. This vision system has enabled enterprises and manufacturers to track high-speed moving objects, which is far from the capabilities of standard fixed frame-rate cameras. Neuromorphic vision system vendors are developing efficient and advanced machine learning algorithms to achieve higher temporal resolution and lower latency.
Prophesee is known for developing an event-based vision solutions ecosystem that comes with software and hardware integration to enable developers to build advanced used cases for a wide range of markets. Prophesee built 4-sensor generations, with the latest coming from the collaboration between Sony and Prophesee. The Metavision evaluation kit is designed for field testing conditions supported by an IMX636ES sensor inside a 30x30x36 mm box weighing 40 grams.
On the software side of the event-based vision ecosystem, Prophesee’s Metavision Intelligence Suite covers the whole development process from discovery to prototyping and end-application. The software suite provides 95 AI algorithms, 67 code samples and 11 ready-to-use applications. The open-source architecture gives the flexibility to “unlocking full interoperability between software and hardware devices.”
The partnership between BrainChip and Prophesee will give the market more commercially available neuromorphic vision systems for potential applications in autonomous vehicular systems, industrial automation, IoT, security, surveillance, retail automation, and AR/VR.
“By combining Prophesee’s Metavision solution with Akida-based IP, we are better able to deliver a complete high-performance and low-power solution to OEMs looking to leverage edge-based visual technologies as part of their product offerings,” said Luca Verre, CEO and co-founder of Prophesee.”
BrainChip recently announced a collaboration with Edge Impulse to address the growing demands for training AI workloads and inference deployments for large-scale edge AI applications. BrainChip also partnered with RISC-V founding member SiFive to work on deploying edge AI chips for optimized AI/ML compute at the edge.

I'm a real layman
For me, the reference from @DaBenjamins about Mr. M. C. who has been working on this is: SOC IP Licensing
--BrainChip,Inc.-Director of Sales - Licensing Event Based IP for AI/ML applications at the edge (1/2023 to Present), then moved to LP and forwarded a message about Akida 2nd Generation and then still the other team's challenges working with CNNs didn't hit the mark is more than a vague hint that LP uses Akida. Then there is this handheld with this description and Akida seems to fit perfectly. That's all it takes for me to reasonably suspect that our sauce is/should/could (short isc) in there.
I'm glad to find something like that here. As I said above, the company's concern is to be in stealth mode everything under NDAs. How understandable! Hopefully this won't cause any trouble. But now it's too late anyway and LP is way ahead of the competition I think and also massively supported as you show us.

But the best thing is that I haven't even thought about it, it makes more than sense and if the right doesn't stay exclusively in the US it should spread around the world very quickly.

There are more than dots joining WBT and BRN. The two companies are very aware of each other. And remember the roadmap from back in 2022 has non-volatile memory being incorporated into AKD4000.

Akida and Weebit ReRAM co-existing on the same chip makes so much sense to me. Actually I think it would be a massive missed opportunity if they don’t!

I was thinking of France a while back then have come to the perception it has turned into a shit hole as with many European countries. That just from seeing videos online mostly but a few friends who have traveled around Europe in last few years. I would love to be corrected on this perception., So if we could continue this conversation over on the bar anything goes thread would be nice and appreciated.
I still haven't worked out how to take a reply from one thread to be quoted in another so my deepest sympathy to those who get so frustrated by this occurrence..

Thank you very much for sharing that video.

Coby is an excellent communicator, giving relaxed, clear messages.

The processes he explained that Weebit Nano are going through sound basically identical to Brainchip's journey in many ways, I thought
I was listening to our own journey with regards the challenges that any small, new player would be experiencing in trying to bring new
IP/TECHNOLOGY to market, at least we managed to get Renesas to take the first leap of faith (bungy jump) off that brand new bridge !!

The time frames are in many ways also identical, when he visits Australia next month, my ears pricked up when Perth was mentioned, but
our Founder won't be at the Research Institute during that month, so no dots, damn it. :ROFLMAO:

I'd strongly suggest that all Brainchip shareholders listen very clearly to what Coby commented on, he was excellent, then picture you were
sitting in on a Brainchip Board meeting, I personally believe the conversations would be very similar.

Why haven't I got any spare cash, the price of our shares is an absolute blessing to top-up or simply just fill your boots as Santa would say 🤪

Regards.....Tech (NZ)

fact collector
I think it is for a handheld weapon detector. Lassen Peak seems to be a very well connected Defence Industry company and it may well be that the failure to release details was prevented by US Law regarding homeland security.

In any event Lassen Peak is the company in my opinion based on the fine print in the following. So now over to the 1000 Eyes.

Good post. 🙌 now how do I get a mate to stop with the silent treatment towards me. Obviously purchased higher and also refuse my offer of topping him up at these prices no strings attached and no need to pay me back.?
Just wait for the world to finally realize how great Akida is, and assuming your friend still holds, they will come and talk to you without you needing to do anything.

Hopefully they have the patience to hold and wait. PANTENE.

Valeo announces 2 new major contracts for its third-generation LiDAR
Valeo, the global leader in ADAS, is proud to announce that its SCALA 3 LiDAR has been chosen by a leading Asian manufacturer and a leading American robotaxi company. Valeo has now registered orders worth more than 1 billion euros for SCALA 3.

So thanks to @chapman89 , we all now know how likely it is that Akida is inside the new Scalar 3.
Based on this article that I'm sure was posted here before, as of March there was over $1B worth of orders on their books.

Now there's 2 ways we can be included; Through Renesas/Megachips or as a stand alone License.
Given the lack of IP announcement I wouldn't be surprised if it was Renesas, but I'm hoping it's neither as that would mean a minimum of 3 products.

Either way, does anyone have any idea what the rough value of a Lidar system is? I'd like to estimate the qty of orders on their system.
Alternatively, does anyone have any links to the orders they have as far as qty?

Yep added another 20,000 🫢

Hey, so did I! ☺️ As well as grabbed a couple of thousand shares for my kids’ custodial accounts. They inherited some money which I have been trying to invest wisely. And while BRN is not the only stock in their portfolio, it is the one that I believe will eventually make them happiest to own, in more than one way.

This morning, my 0.1888 € limit order, that had been patiently lurking in the Tradegate shadows for many weeks, finally went through. Here you go, @Cartagena and @Rise from the ashes, the triple lucky 8 did it! 😊
No doubt the Australian Dollar’s depreciation over the past few months has helped. (In Germany, you’d better be careful telling people your lucky number is 88, though, as that combination is also a not-so-secret-anymore neo-Nazi code for HH aka “Heil Hitler!”, H being the 8th letter of the alphabet ).

IMO it is just insane that today I got eight times (!) as many BRN shares for my money compared to my very first (and for me personally quite substantial) buy, back in January 2022, after I had just learnt about the company through a video on the Mercedes-Benz announcement, despite Brainchip being so much more de-risked these days and neuromorphic computing slowly becoming a buzzword outside of semiconductor industry and university research circles…

Admittedly, veeeeeerrrrrrryyyyyyyy sloooooowwwwwwlyyyyyyy: 🤣

You know what they say about lengthy design cycles, but seriously - almost a decade of investigating?! 😳

I may not have come to the party at the ideal point in time, but I am nevertheless enjoying myself, despite the dismal share price, and have no intention of leaving.

That's cause he's still in the bloody green - very easy to be upbeat when you're not about to lose your shirt 👎

Well, you might be surprised to hear that despite having been underwater for the entire 1.5 years of my BRN journey, I am still upbeat and breathing fine; in fact, I have never sold a single share. On the contrary, I have kept buying more shares on the way down. As I’ve mentioned before, I think of it as making lemonade from the lemons the share price’s totally exaggerated downward trend throws at us and - while I can’t obviously be happy with the current SP as such - perceive it as a gift for those of us wanting to load up on BRN.

Saying that, I do feel for those people who do not have the same time horizon as I have or are forced to sell due to little income/savings or unforeseen circumstances (trust me, I sadly know how life can take a turn for the worse in an instant), and I wish posters expressing their genuine frustration would not be knee-jerkingly reacted to with sarcasm or burning bin GIFs and be accused of having ulterior motives. Not everyone ranting in this forum is a manipulator.
Anyway, thank you to those of you tirelessly correcting factually wrong statements and assumptions about BRN in a civilised manner.

Whenever I see this ad by my broker (which is actually about investing in ETFs, but I took the creative liberty to crop it), I quietly think of BRN and smile… 😊
