BRN Discussion Ongoing

I get that it is hard to predict the timelines of other companies that are currently testing Akida or have already committed to using our technology.

But why can’t our company at least keep to self-imposed timelines???

This big event is coming up next month - Semicon India Conference 2024 scheduled for 11-13 September 2024 in Greater Noida, at India Exposition Mart Limited

Moschip and Tata will be part of it.



"Propelling India semiconductor industry growth is exploding demand for smartphone, automotive, and data storage innovations. To help drive continuing technology advances and meet domestic demand, the India Semiconductor Mission, an initiative of the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, has attracted industry giants including AMD, Applied Materials, and Micron Technology to invest in its chip sector.

In a key move to help grow India’s semiconductor industry, SEMI and Messe Muenchen India are partnering with Electronic Industries Association of India-ELCINA to organize the inaugural edition of SEMI’s flagship event, SEMICON India in Greater Noida, Delhi NCR. Sep. 11-13, 2024. The SEMICON India exhibition and conference will co-locate with electronica India and productronica India – Southeast Asia’s largest electronics industry fairs."

Actually, with all that's going on, I'm beginning to wonder, if all the mistakes, the most recent bad one (that Im aware of) being our new marketing manager's first slide spelling Australian wrong (which is something that could possibly be overlooked and be genuine) but getting the ASX stock code wrong??
BRD instead of BRN??

Are these deliberate mistakes, to deter investors and help out particular parties??

I'm losing confidence in particular areas of management, of this Company.

That's not to say BrainChip and AKIDA won't be successful, but it looks increasingly like fishy things are happening, behind close doors and under the table, for the express benefit of other parties.

Hi DingoBorat,

I don’t believe in a conspiracy here (no offence, but why doesn’t it surprise me that you are inclined to do so 😜) - I reckon it is just sloppiness.
Sadly, those silly mistakes just keep on happening.

Here is an even more recent example that I don’t think was mentioned, yet:

B5001496-AD58-4F24-8F45-24076309E9C2.jpeg



To me it seems totally odd that someone would retire on the penultimate day of the year. To the best of my knowledge, 2024 will remain a leap year - as the US government has not officially announced to trade in New Year’s Eve for February 29, shouldn’t Anil Mankar’s last day on BrainChip’s payroll read Dec 31 instead?

Next up, there is a glaring typo in Jonathan Tapson’s first name, and three lines further down, an indefinite article is missing (“is a recognised leader”).
Oh, and let’s just ignore the repetitive sentence structure in “Dr. Tapson… He… He…”, which reminds me of a first or second-grader’s style of writing, shall we?

It is hard to believe, though, that whoever penned this ASX announcement managed to fit yet another error into that paragraph: No, Jonathan Tapson was NOT most recently the CSO of GrAI Matter Labs - he left that company back in January 2021(!) to become CTO of IONA Tech, more than two and a half years before it was snapped up by Snap.

You really gotta wonder - once again - how on earth this ASX announcement got “authorised for release by the BRN Board of Directors”?!

Last time I checked, The Neverending Story (original title Die Unendliche Geschichte) was written by the late Michael Ende (whose surname happens to be the German word for “end” resp.“The End”, which is quite surreal - and no, it’s not a nom de plume).

Whatever happened to the good old Bronze Sponsorship? I guess Platinum is the new Gold and Gold is the new Silver?

I wonder if we can come up with a more creative (and still cost-effective) sponsorship for next year’s event? Any suggestions?
(Watercooler Sponsor sounds a tad too parsimonious, though.)

Further to some previous excellent digging by @cosors and @Frangipani this guy who used to work at Tata Elxsi did some time at FZI and my guess worked with Akida there too by the looks. Timeline of work fits as does scope.

I see that our silver sponsorship still enabled "itty bitty" Brainchip to get promoted alongside the likes of corporate behemoths like Intel foundry, Samsung, Accenture, Global Foundries, tsmc.....

Tablecloth sponsor is a possible option.

TT

It is headquartered in North Bethesda, Maryland, in the Washington, D.C. area. As of January 2022, Lockheed Martin employs approximately 115,000 employees worldwide, including about 60,000 engineers and scientists.[3]
Lockheed Martin is one of the largest companies in the aerospace, military support, security, and technologies industry. It was the world's largest defense contractor by revenue for fiscal year 2014.[4] In 2013, 78% of Lockheed Martin's revenues came from military sales;[5] it topped the list of US federal government contractors and received nearly 10% of the funds paid out by the Pentagon.[6] In 2009, US government contracts accounted for $38.4 billion (85%), foreign government contracts for $5.8 billion (13%), and commercial and other contracts for $900 million (2%).[7]
Half of the corporation's annual sales are to the U.S. Department of Defense. Lockheed Martin is also a contractor for the U.S. Department of Energy and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).[8]
Lockheed Martin operates in four business segments: Aeronautics, Missiles and Fire Control (MFC), Rotary and Mission Systems (RMS), and Space.[9] The company has received the Collier Trophy six times, including in 2001 for being part of developing the X-35/F-35B LiftFan Propulsion System[10][11][12] and most recently in 2018 for the Automatic Ground Collision Avoidance System (Auto-GCAS). Lockheed Martin is currently developing the F-35 Lightning II and leads the international supply chain, leads the team for the development and implementation of technology solutions for the new USAF Space Fence (AFSSS replacement),[13] and is the primary contractor for the development of the Orion command module.[14] The company also invests in healthcare systems, renewable energy systems, intelligent energy distribution, and compact nuclear fusion.[15]

Mate, all the bloke was doing was giving his opinion and a F#CKEN GREAT OPINION it was.
And all you can come up with is these STUPID GIFS. (Shame on you), it just shows your
intelligence. (you obviously don't have any). No wonder people left this forum (including myself).
I know who the loser is and it isn't @AI.Inquirer.
And you can give me all the GIFs you like, because you show you didn't have the Intelligence
to reply to @AI. Inquirer great opinion.

😛 You know, labelling things as "Conspiracy Theories" is a great way to lump what are actually "Truths" with "crazy theories" to obscure what is actually "The Truth"..

I don't "actively" search for conspiracy theories (well not often 🙄) but here is a fun video, of some that turned out to be True, from the Past (I'm sure you'll have hours of fun "disproving" them 😛)..



The Fact is, what the "general public" is told by the government's and Media of the World, has Never been, the whole Truth and nothing but the Truth (Okay, in my opinion)..

Government and Media, are primarily concerned with "control" (outside of "personal" interests) of the population of Earth, not what is "The Truth"..

"Knowledge" is not always, what it's cracked up to be, as it's often based on "theories" in itself, aside from being a construct of control.

Real Truth, is harder to determine, probably than it has ever been before.

I agree though, that many of the Company's mistakes are sloppiness (these days, it's common throughout most businesses) but for a Company, that is trying to put forward a good image and doesn't actually release "that much" public information, you would think, that anything that is released, would be gone over, with a fine tooth comb first..

Thanks manny,

Another way of looking at it is by comparison with Prophese's DVS camera.

It is possible to design a DVS to act as a still camera or a movie camera.

The following is based on a frame based camera to simplify the explanation, but a DVS has a continuously open light sensor pixel array.

The DVS has pixels which can be designed to produce a 1 or a zero depending on the level of illumination. If the illumination exceeds a threshold value, the pixel turns ON, and if the illumination is below the threshold, the output is zero.

In the still camera mode, the DVS system can thus identify in a single frame where the illumination of adjacent pixels differs, and generate a change from 1 to zero or from zero to 1 depending on whether the transition between adjacent pixels is from white to black or black to white.

This mode will produce an outline of objects

In the movie camera mode, the system assesses the changes of individual pixel illumination in successive frames, and produces the 1 to zero or zero to 1 transitions for the individual pixels whose illumination in the two frames crosses the threshold either up or down.

This mode will produce a moving outline of objects familiar from the Prophesee videos.

So, in the still mode, the system compares the illumination of adjacent pixels in a single frame, and in the movie mode, the system assesses the illumination changes in individual pixels in successive frames.

Late ed: An analogy for TeNNs could be a first monitor system which monitors the magnitude of each individual pixel, and generates a spike or event when there is a change across the threshold, and a second monitor which monitors the difference between adjacent pixels referred to the threshold. This arrangement would be capable of both classifying an object using the first monitor and tracking the object's movement using the second monitor. Incorporating the tracking feature in silicon relieves the CPU of a considerable processing load.

Now the asynchronous spiking bit comes in where the system does not run on frames, but has a continuously open sensor so changes are registered as they occur and not on a frame basis, ie, taking the time element into account.

Both Prophesee and Akida run in an asynchronous mode which eliminates the frame processing delay.

By taking a continuous stream of data, it is thus possible to track the motion of an object or, in the case of voice signals, to analyse passages of speech.
For the sake of completeness, I've added the following to the DVS/TeNNs analogy :

Late ed: An analogy for TeNNs could be a first monitor system which monitors the magnitude of each individual pixel, and generates a spike or event when there is a change across the threshold, and a second monitor which monitors the difference between adjacent pixels referred to the threshold. This arrangement would be capable of both classifying an object using the first monitor and tracking the object's movement using the second monitor.
