Yeh you'd hope that it's something, because if not, it again shows the complete lack of transparency and consistency with the company.

Tony Dawe would really hope that there is something brewing, because the amount of times he's stated ''It's imminent'' over the past year is quite ludicrous. He's actually taking the piss if anything.

Hey BD...your name reminds me of a water hazard on a golf course I was once the Club Professional at in the late 70's in Wellington, NZ. !

Anyway, back on topic.....Tony is a good bloke, some may find his manner a little abrupt, which is a fair comment, but if you had to put
up with the amount of bullshit Tony has to deal with on a daily basis from disgruntled shareholders, it would drive you mad, and I'm sure
Peter wouldn't mind me saying this, even he wouldn't have wanted Tony's position, and that's coming from a very, very tolerant man, who
knows how to forgive rudeness....honestly, the abuse he receives (he's told me) is disgusting !

So, try to cut him some slack, he still holds shares, and is only told what he's told, which I'd guess is rather limited....regarding the Investor
Update, it should have been delivered, face the music, say what needs to be said and lets move on......UNLESS.....he's waiting on a very
important signature....I'm just not that sure it's coming.....maybe late January, or is Mercedes going to reveal something nice early in
January....CES 2025 fingers crossed etc....

Had a nice smoked fish delivered to my door this afternoon, ah it's good to be back in the Far North...love New Zealand and Perth.

God Bless All....Tech

Wonder if this will eventually get interesting

Ai Labs still listed as an Enablement Partner on BRN site so wondering if the neuromorphic component is ours or if coming back the other way from the SDAIA to AI Labs?

I'm presuming the former.

Pay me as much as you pay Tony - I'll take that position all day long.

This isn't personal. This is purely business. He has made statements which he shouldn't be making. He can face the music.

Good luck to all.

Just because I visited this bakery 2023/2024, doesn’t mean they didn’t used it at least since 2015 in japan. Do you really believe Chinese can develop something by themselves? I literally see always Chinese tourists in exhibitions with expensive camera equipment taking photos of details of the interior and exterior of several cars

"Do you really believe Chinese can develop something by themselves?"

Racist much????

Maybe have a bit of a look back through history as to what the Chinese have invented/discovered. Basically the building blocks of the Western World.

But what have they done lately???

Do you think Donald would be urging for the USA to "Drill, baby, drill" if they owned the EV battery space??

You have no idea what racism means I guess.. what I wrote is a fact. And you try to turn it into “the bad white guy” stuff which is basically racism… and by the way..

Transition to Modern Battery Technology:

1. Lithium-Ion Batteries:
• John Goodenough, Stanley Whittingham, Akira Yoshino (1970s-1980s): These researchers developed the lithium-ion battery, which forms the foundation of modern electric vehicles.
• Stanley Whittingham (1970s): He created the first concept of a lithium battery with a titanium disulfide cathode.
• John Goodenough (1980): He improved the technology by introducing a cobalt oxide cathode, which increased energy density.
• Akira Yoshino (1985): He combined these technologies and made them commercially viable. He is considered the developer of the first practical lithium-ion battery.


2. Tesla and Modern Application: In the 2000s, Tesla Motors, under the leadership of Elon Musk and JB Straubel, adopted lithium-ion batteries to revolutionize the range and performance of electric vehicles.

Anyone wonder how Australia avoided recession after the GFC???

Pink bats and school halls???

Or was it our main trading partner???

Don't think concrete was a Chinese invention but the certainly used a hell of a lot of it after the GFC.........

Qualcomm's interest in acquiring Intel has cooled, Bloomberg News reports

(Reuters) -Qualcomm's interest in acquiring Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) is said to have cooled due to complexities associated with the deal, Bloomberg News reported on Monday, citing people familiar with the matter.
The complexities associated with acquiring all of Intel has made a deal less attractive to Qualcomm (NASDAQ:QCOM), Bloomberg reported, saying that it is possible Qualcomm may look at pieces of Intel instead or rekindle its interest later.
The companies did not respond to a request for comment on the Bloomberg report outside regular business hours in the U.S.
Qualcomm had approached Intel to explore a potential acquisition in September, Reuters and others reported. A deal between the companies, which would be the sector's biggest, would face tough antitrust scrutiny globally as it would unite two major chip firms.
Reuters had also reported that Qualcomm explored the possibility of acquiring portions of Intel's design business, days before reports emerged on Qualcomm exploring a deal for all of Intel.
At that time, Intel said that Qualcomm had not approached it about a potential acquisition, while Qualcomm declined to comment.

Once the dominant force in chipmaking, Intel has in recent years ceded its manufacturing edge to rival TSMC and missed out on the generative artificial intelligence boom after missteps including passing on an investment in ChatGPT-owner OpenAI.
The company lost its spot in the Dow Jones Industrial Average after a 25-year run to Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) earlier this month. Intel shares are down over 50% this year.

Neuromorphic Camera Helps Drones Navigate Without GPS​

High-end positioning tech comes to low-cost UAVs​

EDD GENT
20 NOV 2024

Researchers are testing new hybrid imaging and inertial-guidance tech (pictured) that could enable drones to navigate even in GPS-denied environments.
ADVANCED NAVIGATION
Satellite-based navigation is the bedrock of most modern positioning systems, but it can’t always be relied on. Two companies are now joining forces to create a GPS-free navigation system for drones by fusing neuromorphic sensing technology with an inertial navigation system (INS).
GPS relies on receiver units that communicate wirelessly with a network of satellites to triangulate the user’s location with incredible precision. But these signals are vulnerable to interference from large buildings, dense foliage, or extreme weather and can even be deliberately jammed using spoofed radio signals.
This has prompted the design of alternative navigation approaches that can be used when GPS fails, but they have limitations. INS use sensors like accelerometers and gyroscopes to track a vehicle’s location from a known starting point. However, small measurement errors accumulate over time and can ultimately cause a gradual drift in positioning accuracy. Visual navigation systems use cameras to scan the terrain below an aircraft and work out where it is, but this takes considerable computing and data resources that put it out of reach for smaller, less expensive vehicles.
“The two things together really neatly solve navigating in a challenging, GPS-denied environment. You can travel really long distances over a really long time.” —Chris Shaw, Advanced Navigation
A pair of navigation technology companies has now teamed up to merge the approaches and get the best of both worlds. NILEQ, a subsidiary of British missile-maker MBDA based in Bristol, UK, makes a low-power visual navigation system that relies on neuromorphic cameras. This will now be integrated with a fiber optic-based INS developed by Advanced Navigation in Sydney, Australia, to create a positioning system that lets low-cost drones navigate reliably without GPS.

The two things together really neatly solve navigating in a challenging, GPS-denied environment,” says Advanced Navigation’s CEO Chris Shaw. “You can travel really long distances over a really long time.”

When deciding on a navigation system for a vehicle there is always a price to performance trade-off, says Shaw. It typically doesn’t make sense to install expensive, high accuracy INS on a low-cost platform like a drone, but smaller, cheaper ones are more prone to positioning drift. “Sometimes it could be just 10, 20 minutes, before you start to get such a big error growth that the position accuracy is not good enough,” says Shaw.

Ditching GPS for Cameras​

A visual navigation system can provide a workaround by giving the INS high accuracy position updates at regular intervals, which it can use to recalibrate its location. But the high resolution cameras used in these systems generate huge amounts of data, and this has to be compared against a massive database of satellite imagery using computationally expensive algorithms. Fitting these kinds of computational resources on a small and power-constrained vehicle like a drone is typically not feasible.

NILEQ’s system significantly reduces the resources required for visual navigation by using a neuromorphic camera. Inspired by the way the human retina works, these devices don’t capture a series of images, but instead track changes in brightness across the sensor’s individual pixels. This generates far less data and operates at much higher speeds than a conventional camera.

“Using the neuromorphic camera alongside low-cost, inexpensive inertial sensors [provides] a big cost and size benefit.” —Chris Shaw, Advanced Navigation

The company says its proprietary algorithms process the camera output in real-time to create a terrain fingerprint for the particular patch of land the vehicle is passing over. This is then compared against a database of terrain fingerprints generated from satellite imagery, which is stored on the vehicle. The process of creating these fingerprints compresses the data, according to Phil Houghton, head of future concepting at MBDA. “This means that the size of the database loaded onto the host platform is trivial and searching it in real-time requires minimal computation,” he adds.

On the other hand, neuromorphic cameras are not currently able to operate using infrared, says Houghton, which would enable nighttime operations. But infrared neuromorphic cameras are currently under development and should be available in the next few years, he says.



Neuromorphic cameras are more expensive than conventional ones, often costing in the region of $1000, says Shaw. But this is balanced out by the fact that they can be combined with much cheaper INS. “Some really high-end navigation systems might run into the hundreds of thousands of dollars,” he says. “This approach of using the neuromorphic camera alongside low-cost, inexpensive inertial sensors, there’s a big cost and size benefit.”

Beyond providing the INS, Advanced Navigation will also use its AI-powered sensor fusion software to combine the outputs of the two technologies and provide a single, reliable location reading that can be used by a drone’s navigation system in much the same way as a GPS signal. “A lot of customers in this space want something they can just basically plug in and there’s no big learning curve,” says Shaw. “They don’t want any of the details.”

The companies are planning to start flight trials of the combined navigation system later this year, adds Shaw, with the goal of getting the product into customers hands by the middle of 2025.

Grow up, kid… You need to learn to take things with humor. I didn’t mean the Chinese as a race but rather the stereotype. When a famous comedian makes stereotypical jokes about the Chinese, it’s considered cool… but an ordinary person is immediately labeled a racist. Sad world. And I’m glad that God knows me… you don’t. And I’m looking forward to the judgement day…

Sorry @7für7 ,

I get a bit narky when I see someone try to put down an entire country based on race. I am so white that I must cover myself in a chemical solution just to walk out of the house and into the Australian Sun unless I get burnt to a chrisp. The history I learned at school is not the true history of the World but a concoction of what the Western World wants us to believe.
