BRN Discussion Ongoing

[Fact Finder]

This is a highly significant announcement that has not dawned on the market as I post.

This collaboration gives great credence to Akida.

You'd think that Microchip would develop a new board with Akida actually integrated and hence be a BRN customer. Then, makers of devices would have a simpler path to develop THEIR devices.

Would we get royalties from both Microchip and the device makers?

Hi M
Well to use the old method is it likely one percent of Microchip customers will accept the advice being given to use AKIDA?

Conversely is it logical to expect the other 99 percent of Microchip’s customers will ignore or reject the advice to use AKIDA?

Time will answer both questions.

Nice news to wake up to this morn.

Hope we get a few more like this in the lead up.

Can't wait to see what some other outcomes and interest will be once CES finished.

Do I win anything?...a coffee cup, keyring, some free shares maybe

BRN Discussion Ongoing

Hi @Realinfo In football or any sport but likely most evident in team sports judging success at the end of the season is not necessarily as simple as they won therefore they have succeeded, they did not win therefore they have failed. A team that won this year with players at the end of their...

The other thing of note in the article is the discussion on transformers.

Begs the question about BRN having mentioned clients requesting certain enhancements to Akida like ViT and whether someone like Microchips could've asked?

Thanks FF for your quick reply and your understanding on the current status of BRN patents etc.

I do have to pick you up on something that you said I quoted linked to your comment “Accordingly your statement that the patents have been filed for more than two years is premature”

I did not state that and if you extracting it from my 2nd paragraph well that came directly from a US patent website that I used for reference purposes only.

Also it was my understanding from much whinging on TSE and noted at AGM’s in the past couple of years on that any BRN patents that are approved should be announced on ASX regardless if considered to be price sensitive or not by whom it may concern. My understanding is BRN management would announce. I recall the latest 4c quoted 30 approx patents pending so if you are saying a number of patents have been filed and approved in the past couple of years and more and more keep getting added then it would be good to know by BRN management as general news to retail shareholders as it shows progress and provides confidence as well.

All good. Thanks again for the information provided and I will go and have a look at the references you have provided.

Thanks

In most countries, patent applications are not usually published until 18 months after the initial filing date (priority date). Of course, the US has its own rules nd applications can be published earlier. However, this means that we cannot know how many pending unpublished patent applications ae n the pipeline.

Where a patent for a particular invention is filed in more than one country, the various patent applications are referred to as a patent family.

It is necessary to distinguish between the number of inventions and the number of patent applications. because a patent family can include more than two ptent applications for the dame invention, the number of inventions is less than the number of applications.

All that being said, the company has said that there is a patent application in the works for TeNNs. The TeNNs white paper was dated 9 June 2023, so the application would have been filed before that date.

Under Australian patent law, the novelty requirement means that the claimed invention must not have been publicly disclosed before the priority date, and the non-obviousness test is referred to as an inventive step, which is explained as not being obvious to a person skilled in the technology. While the novelty test is fairly straight forward, there are truck-loads of case law attempting to clarify the obviousness yardstick.

Wacky-Doodle-Do! Hehehe!

"Microchip is committed to maintaining the lowest power MPU portfolio in the market."

and....

said Rob Telson, Vice President of Ecosystem and Partnerships at BrainChip. “By combining our innovative neuromorphic processor and models with Microchip’s high-performance MPUs and boards, you can deliver compelling solutions to the market to serve the rapidly growing demand for TinyML at the Edge.”

I'm just going to resuscitate this post #55,906 from May in light of this mornings revelations as I believe this seriously opens the opportunity for our inclusion in the MPU subsystem for Microchip's PolarFire SoC where the industry's lowest power is a must!

If this proves to be true and correct then we may have a shot at being included in the HPSC won't just be for space missions but will be use in a variety of applications on Earth "such as defense, commercial aviation, industrial robotics, and medical equipment – as well as being a good candidate for use in government and commercial spacecraft".

"The project will result in the development of the HPSC chip, boards, a software stack, and reference designs with initial availability in 2024 and space-qualified hardware available in 2025".

Ultraleap, Prophesee to demo AR event-based vision system at CES​

Ultraleap and Qualcomm sign multi-year agreement | Ultraleap

Our fifth-generation hand tracking platform, Gemini, will be pre-integrated and optimized on the Qualcomm® Snapdragon® XR2 5G platform for untethered AR/VR.

www.ultraleap.com

26 August 2020 – Ultraleap and Qualcomm have signed a multi-year co-operation agreement that will see the optimisation of the next generation of hand tracking capabilities on the Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ XR2 5G platform.

Could it be ultraleap is a customer from prophesee because of their partnership with brainchip? And that is because of "a multi-year co-operation agreement" with Qualcomm?

I have no clue and it is pure spekulation.....just asking....

 

[The Pope]

Hi The Pope
I have a huge amount of stored, I think repressed is the correct term, anger over the way the company communicates.

So much of the Brainchip knowledge requires a college degree and a team of researchers to uncover from the public domain and I am not a fan of the use of diverse social media platforms to communicate with shareholders.

In my life I have seen how most day to day problems arise through lack of information because most people do not know how to find it or even know to look in the first place.

The way Brainchip chooses to communicate compounds the issue. For instance if they are doing podcasts they should provide transcripts. I have raised this a thousand times.

My anger however is not negativity because while I disagree with their approach and believe it is wrong I understand it and it does not make me anxious or fearful but it does mean I spend far more time than I do on my other investments which take what I consider to be the correct approach to ASX announcements.

Another holder who is in the USA and I were chatting and he does not relate at all to my anger over ASX announcements because for him it is what he is used to in the States.

We are an ASX listed company run by Americans and what was clear at the Meet & Greet was our US CEO just does not get the importance we Aussies place on the ASX and was there trying to understand.

I suppose it’s like an Aussie trying to understand why an American needs so much food put on their plate while lamenting the obesity problem and what to do about it.

It is a cultural gap that my repressed anger needs to accept.

Anyway all good we are on the same page now.

Do we think its strange that after announcing an upcoming demo of AKIDA with a major new partner at the biggest electronics show in the world that the SP just bobbles around these lows? Doesn't anyone (i.e. the mythical market) believe that this is a major step forward and a further validation of BRN as a player in this market?

Hi Toasty
I believe it is.

I also believe that the Australian investment public does not receive personal emails from Brainchip, does not go every day if at all to their LinkedIn page, do not go to Facebook Brainchip or to Brainchip X.

So at this point we almost have insider knowledge compared with the rest of the investment public here in Australia.

Now if it were a non price sensitive announcement on the ASX then we could judge those who are not insiders like us.

Once MF publishes an article about how this news did not have any impact then it will slowly filter out to those who might value this information from beyond our ranks.

However if this has been announced by Microchip to their shareholders, we would get a good exposure in the US markets.

I expected a bit of a boost to the SP on the ASX today.

Earlier this evening in the US, BRCHF on the OTC Markets reached a low of around 0.12 USD and closed at 0.14 USD, probably because of the news.

I saw it in my Fidelity news feed, but I'm not sure exactly when it appeared. I'm assuming it was around the time the SP jumped before closing.

Check out this partnership announced between Microchip, TDK, Innvobot Labs and BOE Varitronics in Jan 2023 with Microchips to add its haptics electronics system, including amplifier and microcontroller.

Just an example IMO of the type partners and applications that we could expect emanating from our relationship with them in the future.

BTW, Microchip Technology has 142 partners, 137 are technology partners and 5 are channel partners. Amazon Web Services is its largest partner.

No doubt this mornings announcement and imminent demo at CES 2024 of Akida in conjunction with Microchip’s SAMv71 Ultra Board and SAMA7G54-EK Board ought to garner some widespread interest amongst it's numerous partners.

LAS VEGAS, Jan. 4, 2023 /PRNewswire/ - Tech innovation and R&D design house Innovobot Labs is excited to announce that it is teaming up with three world leading technology companies to develop a next generation reference design for automotive displays. This next-gen haptics technology will be unveiled at the upcoming Consumer Electronics Show, in Las Vegas, Nevada, January 5-8, 2023.
TDK, a world leader in electronic solutions, will supply its patented PowerHap actuators, for sharper feeling haptics. BOE Varitronix, one of the largest manufacturers of electronic displays, will provide the screen and related controllers, while smart, embedded control solutions provider Microchip Technology Inc., will add its haptics electronics system, including amplifier and microcontroller. For its part, Innovobot Labs is responsible for overall system design and integration.
The project comes in response to a need for more cost-effective haptic technology in the automotive industry. Large dashboard screens that lack good tactile feedback are challenging to use. Providing enhanced haptics to displays in cars and trucks lets designers add "feel and texture" to buttons, as well as sliders to touchscreen elements. This makes it safer for drivers when they interact with the displays.
Currently, tier-level suppliers quote haptics at high prices because the currently available technology is challenging and risky. The product proposed by the project partners will lower the adoption barrier, allowing a broader number of suppliers to quote haptics more aggressively, with increased confidence in their ability to meet performance specifications.
"We are thrilled to be collaborating with Innovobot on the development of a new High-Definition Haptic Display to experience the advantages of the PowerHapTM piezo technology. At the same time, we are strengthening our integration know-how to support our customers in the automotive and industrial segments," says Harald Kastl, Executive Vice President at TDK Electronics GmbH.
"We are very pleased to be working closely together with Innovobot, TDK and Microchip Technology. Each company is contributing expertise and resources from our unique diverse backgrounds to achieve new creative technological breakthroughs and co-create new value. We believe that working together, we will soon bring forth more high-end, diversified and integrated vehicle display products and solutions to the market and advance our development and promotion of smart automotive solutions," adds Jack Su, CEO of BOE Varitronix.
"This collaboration is a perfect illustration of our open innovation model, where companies from diverse backgrounds come together to move the human experience forward. We are very happy to be working closely with TDK, Microchip and BOE Varitronix. It is a great feeling to know that together, we are making such a positive impact on the automotive industry," says Guy Lafond, Chief Commercial Officer at Innovobot.
