BRN Discussion Ongoing

For sure if they could have visuals built in and mobility to take on steps and obstacles, then have odour detection / neutralisation / enhancement and even extendable arms for smaller gaps under couch and beds that would be amazing. Why not give it sensors to monitor for humidity and air quality and make recommendations to improve air quality. Then return back and empty and clean itself. Doing this with ultra low power at the edge is neccessary! i want one already.

Probably someone will be selling a smart sensor with AKIDA on board to do this for us very shortly.

My opinion only DYOR

Hi Everyone!

I'm a "oui" bit excited! I was just taking a peek at Valeo's 2021 Activity Report which they release about a week ago after their latest Shareholder's Meeting. The Activity Report is in French and will soon be available in English, so I had to do some translating with assistance from Dr Google, so apologies for how it reads. My translations are circled in red.

There's a lot more information that can be gleaned from this document but someone else might like to do it because my hands are trembling a bit too much.

Peter, like us, is extremely happy having hired 3 excellent men to lead us deeper into commercialization
Sean, Antonio and Jerome are the future faces of Brainchip, ably supported by Rob, Todd and all the new
sales team staff being scouted as we speak.

One thing I personally hate (dislike) is talk about a takeover, especially this early into our commercial journey,
Sean and the team are really starting to crank things up, with real determination, and I personally believe as a few posters have already commented on, Peter knows his own strengths, he has fulfilled a number of positions within the company, all but the Chairman's position, taking a step back to focus on other passions, is key to a balanced life...when I next get to catch up with him in July I'll ask him a question or two, which he may choose to answer or not, which I have to respect.

You don't have to be a rocket scientist to work out who may have tried to influence the voting by not voting, just check out the top 10 on the register and work towards the front.

The question that I haven't pursued as yet, is this one, which definitely has a message behind it in my opinion,

Why 4 new non-executive directors and potentially a 5th to be hired in the next 12 months ????

If those NEDs are also NEDs at the likes of Qual, NVIDIA, Broadcomm or Intel I am not going to be able to stop smiling. As it is defintely going to be a massive sign.

Lot's of regulatory requirements for listing on the NASDAQ when it comes to the board, independence of the board and committee requirements.
Work load needs to be considered ... see below.
I'm guessing this is where you are heading with your thoughts.

Board Size​

Although there are no specific minimum Board size requirements for public companies, filling out the committees with independent directors can present logistical difficulties. For example, if the Board has only five directors, even if four are independent, each director will sit on at least two committees. The Audit Committee, in particular, will have a greatly expanded role following the IPO, and many Audit Committee members are reluctant to sit on multiple committees. As a practical matter, therefore, some public companies, particularly those with a larger market capitalization, will choose to have at least six independent directors.

Blind Freddie thinks he knows why the extra directors are needed. He says it’s to add greater diversity for the purpose of a Nasdaq listing AND to give additional US credibility to the company.

He thinks that the CEO Sean Hehir stating at the AGM that Brainchip was not going to be attached to any one nation but that it was on a global pathway was a strong signal that there is a Nasdaq roadmap laid out on the Brainchip boardroom table.

I don’t know if he is correct but Fact Finder knows that Brainchip can tick off every necessary qualification box for a Nasdaq Listing thanks to the months of hard work of Tony Dawe and Ken Scarince.

When the time is right Blind Freddie says a global company needs to act globally and move to the Nasdaq as the ASX is not big enough to hold it.

In my opinion the move to the Nasdaq will NOT occur until after the next AGM when we have been informed of the matters promised by Sean Hehir regarding commercialisation progress and Brainchip is in a position to start giving earnings guidance.

My opinion and speculation only so DYOR

Well done! they know where the money is coming from and they are structuring to capture as much of it as possible! Why cant they just go facebook official with us! We are clearly more than a situationship!

 

[SERA2g]

On the question of a takeover as retail have more than sufficient numbers to prevent such occurring I thought I should declare that I would accept an offer which was equal to a fifty percent discount on Brainchip’s future true value in cash and or shares based on Peter van der Made’s assessment of ten times Microsoft’s valuation.

This is not advice simply a declaration of intent.

My opinion only DYOR

That chip is Akida within the Nviso occupant system.

Thanks @chapman89 for this link, I went there for a 3pm meeting with Tim and Colin from Nviso. For much of the time I was the only shareholder there and Tim gave me a great summation of Nviso's in car driver and passenger observance protocol. Tim's explanation was in line with the previous video published here, but the ability to learn within the cabin of the car sets this system apart. Tim said that with Akida included in the package the power usage was just 1 watt, but the alternative, also being used, gobbled up 10 watts, and the case the alternative was in was quite hot, a result of the extra wattage. Akida in this example uses 60 frames per second but could be ramped up to 1000 FPS given the need. Akida learns on site and Tim explained the driver could inform Akida of an event that needs to be learnt From. Not sure how this would work in practice, because it implies the driver is computer savvy and would be both understanding how to pass on the information. As a sidebar, I remember reading somewhere, most probably here, that Mercedes Benz bofins understand that the vast percentage of drivers don't understand the amount of help that the car's AI can give them, and Mercedes are training the AI within the car to recognise this inability and to suggest or coax better alternative usage of the abilities the driver isn’t aware of. That observation rings true with me and my Tesla, asi don’t understand some of the onboard acces that would be useful for me to know.

Then it was off to meet Colin Mason, Global Head of Customer Engagement Nviso, who introduced a Panasonic robotty thing with big eyes, and a cute tail and grey knitted cover. The robot has been planned as being very useful for older, single women in Japan. It doesn’t follow you around, but seems to vie for your attention. This current model can be programmed to turn on your tv at the appropriate time, and also for example to remind you to take your pills and other important things. This current robot doesn’t have Akida in it, but we agreed that for both power effectiveness and more efficient on chip learning Akida would be most probably in later version. In this version battery size and storage is quite limiting. Colin admitted to me that he, amongst others tell clients like Panasonic all about Brainchip and it’s elevated abilities. Tim and Colin are very excited about Brainchip’s future and are doing their best to ‘sell the Akida story’ with clients.

And what a story it is.

Dhm coming back to this little funny farting creature, the connection with Nvisio and Panasonic and in turn Arms and us, here is significant for this little creatures future.

From Nvisio website -
Unlike cloud-based solutions, NVISO’s solutions do not require information to be sent off-device for processing elsewhere so user privacy and safety can be protected.
"Over the last two years we have worked with Panasonic’s development team to fulfil a vision to help people live at home healthier and happier through empathic intelligent devices. Our engineering team has delivered an excellent AI solution to meet the demanding power/cost/performance needs of high-volume edge-based consumer processing platforms required by manufacturers such as Panasonic”, said Tim Llewellynn, CEO of NVISO

Hi BRNers

I did hear this somewhere, but for the life of me cant put my finger on the original source.
Can someone be so kind as to direct me to where we were informed that we will be gaining another 4 Non-Exec directors?

Maybe worth keeping an eye on Dyson in the coming years:

Dyson to Invest 3.4 billion USD to Debut New Household Robots

Dyson, an appliance giant, has pledged to invest over 3.4 billion USD by 2030 to introduce new robots that will complete everyday household chores.

timesnext.com

"Dyson, best known for its vacuum cleaners, shares its ambitions to develop “an autonomous machine capable of home chores and other activities.” A report published by The Guardian suggests that, the company could launch such a device by 2030."

"Dyson also announced intentions to invest about $3.45 billion in robotics, new motor technology, and machine learning software by 2025 in 2020. This year, it intends to spend about $750 million of the fund."

I did email BRN last week regarding this bbc article

The company is setting up a major robotics research centre in the UK.

Wasn't it clarified somewhere that this wasn't an additional 4 NED's, but rather an increase to 4 or 5 in total?

Very exciting...
Can a Global heavy weight, in the interest of stronger partnerships, make requests to have NED added to a company?
Sleep is becoming overrated with all this activity Sean speaks about. Be a zombie by the time we are talking about results.

The answer is a definite yes and assuming they are the right fit only good can come from it.

Continuing on from my ramblings above, whilst i am a fan of Marc Steimer I am also a big fan of Rohit Prasad and have spoken highly about him a number of times so its no surprise that I think Alexa will have akida in my opinion on board. Another lead to this idea is a recent utube podcast by Alexa Amazon Rohit Prasad where if you listen it which i found quite entertaining in its entirety is the fact that Rohit mentions the need for Alexa to function and process away from the cloud. If you only look and listen at the 8.55 - 9.43 mark, i found quite interesting.

I emailed Rob Chambers from Lockheed Martin about this, and if he emails back I'll let you all know. Fingers crossed.

While they would all be a nice idea short term when ARM was the subject of a takeover bid from Nvidia Apple, Google and Intel protested because they have intellectual property secrets secured with ARM and did not want Nvidia to access these secrets.

Long term Brainchip needs to select someone from a company which would not cause all the major players this type of concern.
