It's been that way for a while 7..

BrainChip, no longer gets the investor/speculative attention, it once got.

People can blame a lack of ASX announcements, helping shorters and manipulators, but the ASX announcements, we "could" have had, wouldn't have helped much, I don't think..

The investor/speculative group has become weary, to the point, that even the huge implications of recent partnerships, to BrainChip's future success (more gold in the ground) has had little impact on the share price.

On the very plus plus side, it has been a long grind down, to current prices..
I don't believe the rise up, will nearly be as long and could be quite rapid (like when the Mercedes news was first dropped) when BrainChip is "rediscovered" by the Market, in a big way.
Especially, with the large Global focus on A.I. technologies.

We just need that catalytic jolt, to thrust BrainChip into the spotlight again, where it is likely to remain.

It would need to be some big news, that would get the "World's" attention.

Hi all,

I’m as excited as the next guy - but can someone please show me where the quote below by Phil is found in a primary document?

I can see that Marcus quoted him - I just cannot see where this quote is from??

“Through our collaboration with BrainChip, we enable the combination of SiFive's RISC-V processor IP portfolio and BrainChip's 2nd generation Akida neuromorphic IP to deliver a power-efficient, high-performance solution for AI processing at the edge. Deeply embedded applications can benefit from the combination of compact SiFive Essential™ processors with BrainChip's efficient Akida-E processors; More complex applications such as object recognition, robotics and more can take advantage of SiFive X280 Intelligence™ AI Dataflow processors, which are tightly integrated with BrainChip's Akida-S or Akida-P neural processors. ” - Phil Dworsky, Global Head of Strategic Alliances at SiFive”

Thanks in advance,

Panda.
Hi Panda
Here is a link that will take you to where it appears on the Brainchip website. When you open it is under ‘See what they are saying’ you will probably need to advance to Dworsky quote:

China ten years behind and staying there​


China is ten years behind the leading edge and will stay that way, says Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger.

“The export policies that have been put in place recently, we have seen the Dutch in place, the US policies, Japanese policies, sort of put a floor in the 10 to 7nm range,” said told the WEF Davos meeting. “we are racing to go below 2nm and then 1.5nm, and you know we see no end to that in sight.”
The problem for the Chinese is sourcing all the
IDF 2009 Fall - 32nm Westmere wafer
elements of the massively complex international supply chain needed to make cutting edge ICs.
“It is not like China is not going to keep innovating, but this is a highly interconnected industry,” added Gelsinger, “the mirrors of Zeiss, the equipment assembly of ASML, the chemicals and resist in Japan, the mask making of Intel. All of those together, I think this is a 10-year gap, and I think it is a sustainable 10-year gap with the export policies that have been put in place.”

That makes sense if those partnerships were currently immaterial financially.

The grey area is Brainchip have not informed the market of that change in business model.. Sean has stated publicly Brainchip is an IP and Royalty Company.

Therefore according to the market, that is what is expected for the market to make a valuation on..

And any new partners could not be assumed as IP recipients of Akida.
This is why the person who stated watch the Financials , That is the only way you'll see anything, A announcement to the Asx won't be happening because the Asx haven't reacted to anything Brainchip has put forward as to partnerships, A Partnership opens a can of worms because of how far does it extend to, it could be never ending,
Brainchip won't be a household name in my opinion as the companies that have Akida in it will look the goods,
But this statement doesn't mean the company won't be successful, it could be a very successful company,
I hope Peter gets the reconition he deserves though

At the end of the day someone still needs to buy a license….
I disagree with that, if there entering a partnership who knows what the terms and conditions are,
The quarterly report shows money figures but no names attached to each receipts,
Brainchip have always protected clients ,this makes me think maybe it's been a bad thing Mercedes dropping our name and the shareprice soaring, alot of investors got into trouble on all the hype, 2 years later the shareprice has crashed because it's not ready because products aren't on the shelves and brainchip sound of silence can validate the higher shareprices,
1 to 2 years Brainchip will move as A.I Develops and is the buzz , forward to 2030 we could be really humming

Neuromorphic Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems for Intelligent Applications​

Neuromorphic Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems for Intelligent Applications

Introduction​

In the ongoing era of technology, we are all surrounded by many intelligent devices & systems. Many application areas, like medical implants & healthcare, automotive, aviation, security, sports, consumer electronics, etc., have seen countless products based on such systems and devices. These products have greatly enhanced the experience of the user and the service provider by executing their routine tasks efficiently. The design of such products identifies Sensors, Transducers, and Actuators as an integral part, and Micro-Electronic-Mechanical-Systems (MEMS) are one of the popular paradigms to implement them on the microscale. In a higher level of abstraction, a MEMS device can be viewed as a microscale device having both mechanical and electronic elements.

Schematic representation of a typical MEMS device contains sensors, transducers, and actuators.


Figure 1
The schematic representation of a typical Micro-Electronic-Mechanical-Systems (MEMS) device

MEMS can also be observed as a semiconductor technology adopted to miniaturize the systems having mechanical micro-structures, micro-actuators, micro-sensors, micro-electronics devices, etc. All these elements of a MEMS are fabricated on an integrated chip through several sophisticated microfabrication techniques. The MEMS technology has several other popular names in Japan and Europe, such as micromachines and microsystems. The typical size of a MEMS device can range from a few micrometers to millimeters (~0.002 to -1.00 mm). At this point in time, we also find it important to point out that the advancement in fabrication and semiconductor technology have allowed manufacturers to further diminish the size of such devices in Nanometres, known as the Nano-Electro-Mechanical Systems (NEMS).

Working principle of MEMS​

The MEMS devices can sense any change in the deployed environment through measurement of mechanical, electromagnetic, chemical activity, etc. To have a bit more clarity on the working principle of MEMS, let us consider the design of a few popular MEMS:
  • Medical Pressure Sensor:​

    • The architectural design depicted in Fig 2 is for a disposable medical pressure sensor. This MEMS architecture is a widely adopted sensor for healthcare to monitor intravenous (IV) blood pressure. The architecture is fabricated on a substrate and has a thin membrane of a semiconductor material. The membrane is produced through sophisticated semiconductor layer etching and replicating the conventional diaphragm. Further, the architecture also has a piezo-resistive layer over the edges of the semiconductor membrane. It may be observed that the introduction of any external pressure over the semiconductor membrane exerts a mechanical strain on the piezo-resistive layer. Exertion of this mechanical strain causes a respective change in the electrical resistance of the piezo-resistive layer, which produces a recognizable deflection in the electrical voltage. The proper calibration and computation over the observed voltage deflection produces the reading of applied pressure.

MEMS architecture for Medical Pressure Sensing has a piezo-resistive layer that produces deflection in the electric voltage.


Figure 2
Figure depicting a typical MEMS architecture for Medical Pressure Sensing.

  • Accelerometer:​

  • MEMS can be used to sense pressure. Their design and working principle for monitoring acceleration in automotive processes can be seen in the previous examples. The Architectural design of acceleration sensing MEMS is depicted in Fig. 3. It has a comb-like structure of capacitive plates, where fixed capacitive plates are hinged between the moving capacitive plates. The moving functionality of plates is implemented through a spring hinge system and allows the plates to move in response to any acceleration. The movement in capacitive plates causes a change in the distance between fixed and moving capacitive plates and ultimately changes the equivalent capacitance between plates in accordance with experienced acceleration. The change in the capacitance between plates produces a recognizable deflection in the electric voltage and is calibratable to produce the reading of acceleration.

MEMS for acceleration sensing uses fixed and moving capacitive plates that move in response to any acceleration.


Figure 3
The pictorial representation depicting the architectural design of MEMS for acceleration sensing.

Incorporating Intelligence in MEMS through Neuromorphic Computing:
Neuromorphic computing is brain-inspired computing and follows the computing structure of the human brain. The human brain has billions of neurons and forms a complex Brain Neural Network (BNN) network to execute computing tasks. To mimic the computational model of the human brain, computing models, typically Artificial Neural Network (ANN), comprising Perceptron as a fundamental unit, are proposed. The computational analogy between BNN and ANN is depicted in Figure 4.1 (a) and (b), respectively. Also, the recent developments in semiconductor technologies have allowed efficient general-purpose ANN processing architectures on integrated circuits, even without following the traditional Von-Neuman Architecture. The integrated chips following the computing architecture of ANNs are referred to as Neuromorphic Chips.

(a) Brain Neural Network (BNN) forms a complex computing network with billions of neurons. (b) Artificial Neural Network (ANN) uses Perceptron as a fundamental unit to mimic the computational model of the human brain.  (c) Many neuromorphic chips use


Figure 4.1
A pictographic representation to show the architectural analogy between the computing models of (a) BNN and (b) ANN. Figure also depicts the architecture of (c) memristor crossbar array, which is a fundamental computing unit in many neuromorphic chips.

In addition to the architectural similarity, Neuromorphic devices also attempt to mimic computational hierarchy of the human brain. The computational similarity between the human brain and neuromorphic computing can be understood by Figure 4.2, which presents the hierarchical comparison of a human brain neuron and neuromorphic computing model, respectively. Here it is important to observe that high level computing tasks (Computationally complex like memorizing, planning, learning) of neuromorphic devices are executed by a central processing unit which is analogous to the Central Nervous System (CNS) comprised of human brain and spinal cord. However, for Low-Level Processing tasks (Computationally simplex like, perceiving, reacting to a stimulus), a Local Processing (On-Chip) Unit is utilized and is analogues to the Peripheral Nervous System (PNS) comprised of Sensory and Motor Neurons.

The human brain and neuromorphic computing are similar in performing high-level computing tasks and low-level processing tasks.


Figure 4.2
A graphical representation of the computational hierarchy of the human brain and neuromorphic computing to highlight the computational analogy between them. (Source).

To understand the above analogy and the process of incorporating intelligence in MEMS/Devices, let us consider the architecture and working of a practical Neuromorphic device. For this purpose, we consider the architecture of a Neuromorphic Tactile Processing System (NeuTap) developed to replicate the functions of human sensory neurons. The underlying NeuTap is reported for successful identification of touch patterns with spatiotemporal features. Figure 5 depicts how the functional units of NeuTap are coinciding with human sensory neurons. It has a resistive pressure sensor to function as a receptor for any touch activity and an integrated ionic cable and synaptic transistor to mimic the functions of Axon and Synapse. The Integrated Ionic cable works as a communication coupling between the pressure sensor and the synaptic transistor. The synaptic transistor is a computing element that implements the on-chip machine-learning computation to perceive touch activity.

Neuromorphic tactile processing system comprises a pressure sensor, Ionic cable, and a synaptic transistor to mimic the function of Axon and Synapse and perceive the touch activity.

Advantages of Neuromorphic-MEMSs Over MEMS​

  • Intelligent sensing with on-chip processing capability: A simple MEMS device only senses/logs an environmental change; however, with the ability of on-chip neuromorphic processing, the MEMS devices may perform intelligent/event-based sensing and have the ability to perceive.
  • Node-Centric rather than Cloud-Centric: MEMS's on-chip neuromorphic processing capability also allows the development of sensors and actuators with “on-sensor” or “near-sensor” processing capabilities. This has the potential to eradicate the necessity of cloud-based processing stations in smart devices while maintaining the constraint of size.
  • Energy Efficient: Due to the dual nature of the synapse, the approach consumes ultra-low energy.
  • Data-Efficient: Due to the node-centric nature, the Neuromorphic MEMS are quite efficient for data-related requirements.
  • Faster processing capabilities: Due to the massively parallel nature of neuromorphic computing, it has faster processing capabilities.

IP Trends for Neuromorphic-MEMS​

A yearly count of patent applications filed for the last five years is presented using Figure 6, indicating an exponential growth in creating intellectual properties related to domain expertise. The exponentially increased patent applications also indicate that many stakeholders in the domain have invested a lot to diversify their patent portfolios with patents related to neuromorphic MEMS. Therefore, in the coming years, we may anticipate a lot of patent monetization activities for neuromorphic MEMS.

Patents around neuromorphic MEMS are steadily increasing over the years, showing the rising potential of patent monetization in neuromorphic MEMS.

Yearly distribution* for globally filed Patents/ Applications in the field of Neuromorphic devices/MEMS indicates that the field of neuromorphic computing is growing at an exponential pace.
*Considering the delay in the publication of patent applications, the data for 2022 and 2023 may be inaccurate.

The top ten players of the underlying technology are presented in Figure 7 and include the majority of the tech giants. It identifies Robert Bosch, Nvidia, Samsung Electronics, Apple, and IBM as the top five companies investing to diversify their patent portfolio by acquiring Intellectual Properties related to neuromorphic MEMS.

Computer technology, medical technology, and digital communication are the top technology domains where patents around neuromorphic are found.


Figure 8
A pictorial representation depicting major application areas of Neuromorphic Devices/MEMS, Medical, Computer, Control, Transport, and Telecommunication are among the top.

Brief Insight on Market Activities​

Currently, the market of neuromorphic technologies is closely evolving around computer technologies by covering about half of the intellectual property cases (See Figure 9) and holds a market capital of ~ $5277 million. Literature suggests a 22.12 % CAGR, and the overall market cap of neuromorphic technology is expected to reach ~ $20732.12 million by 2030. Therefore, a parallel growth in patent development, patent filing, and other intellectual property-related activities is anticipated, specifically in the application domains, with the growing maturity in neuromorphic computer technologies. Observing the above IP insights, we expect that the majority of tech giants like Samsung Electronics, Apple, IBM, Intel, Google, Nvidia, etc., will participate in this journey and will encourage many patent development and monetization activities. In addition to this, we also expect many startups, cross-domain partnerships, IP licensing, mergers, acquisitions, etc., between organizations to utilize the advantages of neuromorphic computing. One such interesting case is the partnership between BrainChip and TCS for intelligent human gesture recognition.

Future Directions​

The design and working principle of Neuromorphic MEMS closely resembles the biological sensory system and attempts to mimic the intelligence of the human brain. This technology has the potential to enable edge computing, where data is processed on the device itself, leading to applications in sensing, robotics, and AI and various application areas like the healthcare and medical industry, telemedicine, aviation and automobiles, robotics, security, surveillance, and so on. Incorporating neuromorphic computing in MEMS devices can equip the artificial system with intelligence close to several biological intelligences like decision-making, cognitive recognition, perception building, etc. This may lead to the development of countless compact, robust, fast, ultra-low power and super intelligent robotic systems, wearable devices, medical implants, prosthetic devices, etc. The use of MEMS devices for neuromorphic computing presents a promising avenue for the development of intelligent applications, with potential applications in various fields such as acoustic sensing, signal processing, and neural computing.

"China will invade Taiwan. The US will respond China will declare war on the US and it’s allies. Donald Trump will become President and do a deal that ends the war between China and the US on the basis China gets Taiwan, Japan and Australia"

Not such a wild theory, in my opinion FactFinder 😛
Australia, has no chance at all, against an invasion from China, without the US backing us up.
It's the only reason they wouldn't attempt it.

I don't think England, would step up to the plate, or even be capable either.

As much as I hate the US (except for giving us the muscle car period and it's music) with what they've done to the World, for their own benefit.

They are the only thing, keeping the Chinese from invading Australia.
Wow what a load of hot c--k . China has no intention of invading Aust.
