Would be cool if BrainChip were involved with Sony’s new company - Sony Space Communications

Not sure if Akida is applicable to this field. Or maybe it has been made possible because of it

New Company Established: Sony Space Communications Corporation​

Will conduct space optical communications business

Sony Group Corporation ("Sony Group") announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, Sony Corporation of America ("SCA"), has formed a new company, Sony Space Communications Corporation ("SSC"), to conduct space optical communications.
"Currently there are approximately 12,000 satellites in space, and the number is expected to increase in the future. The amount of data used in orbit is also increasing year by year, but the amount of available radio waves is limited," said Kyohei Iwamoto, President, Sony Space Communications Corporation. "Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites need to communicate with the ground, so a large number of communications facilities are required for real-time communications, which is problematic because these satellites must pass directly over a ground station to communicate with it. Additionally, the need for frequency licenses for radio waves and the requirement for lower power consumption of communication equipment needed by smaller satellites, like micro satellites, are also issues to be addressed."

To solve these problems, SSC plans to develop small optical communications devices to provide related services to connect micro satellites in LEO via a laser beam. SSC plans to offer this optical communications equipment as a service to companies working on satellite development. By using optical communications, SSC aims to realize high-speed communications with small devices, which are physically difficult to achieve with conventional radio communications because conventional communications require large antenna and high power output. In addition, by constructing an optical communications network not only between satellites and the ground, but also between satellites in orbit, SSC aims to enable real-time communications from anywhere on the ground to any satellite in space. Optical communications are also easier to implement than traditional radio frequency communications as they do not require the certain types of licenses that radio communication needs.
By providing easy-to-use inter-satellite communications capabilities, SSC aims to increase the amount of communications in space and realize an Internet communications network covering the earth, space, and applications such as real-time services.

About Space Optical Communications​

Sony Group has been conducting research and development of optical communications systems at Sony Computer Science Laboratories, Inc. to enable high-speed data communications over long distances in a form that can be mounted on micro satellites. By applying the optical disc technology that Sony Group has cultivated over many years in the development and production of CD players and other products, it aims to realize optical communications devices that are ultra-compact, lightweight, mass producible, and can withstand harsh environments such as space.
In 2020, SOLISS (Small Optical Link for International Space Station) was installed in the Japanese Experiment Module "Kibo" of the International Space Station (ISS) in collaboration with the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA). It established a bidirectional laser communications link with a space optical communication ground station of the Japanese National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT), and successfully transmitted high-definition image data via Ethernet protocols. In 2021, this experimental device successfully established optical downlinks from space to a commercial optical ground station of Kongsberg Satellite Services in Greece.
In 2022, in collaboration with JAXA, an experiment on complete data file transfer in a simulated error-prone communications environment, which will be the technological basis for Internet services through stratospheric and low-Earth orbit optical communications, was successfully conducted.
SSC aims to promote the use of optical communications in space and to contribute to the improvement of convenience in peoples' lives, including through the expansion of socioeconomic activities.

Hi @Baisyet
Speaking and writing only have one purpose and that is to communicate.

You have clearly communicated what you have learned and know. It is a great post and I agree with everything you have posted.

Except about you not being an able writer.

Regarding the renesas statement from the 27th of may ("... we have added ...spiking neural network with BrainChip core licensed for selected applications – we have licensed what we need to license from BrainChip including the software to get the ball rolling.”)

What do you guys think, what is the order of magnitude of the revenue generated by the sale of these licenses? The highest revenue so far (2021 1,6M$) was still quite low. My hope is that a significantly higher amount will be shown in the next quarters in order to be able to justify the high market cap of BRN more and more.
Sorry if this question has already been asked. Thanks you guys for alway keeping us up to date!!!

Its a free market, if you think it's a high market cap you can sell out, and buy back when you see higher revenues. Nobody here will stop you.

Particularly interested in the known vulnerabilities part

As I read the key, any release with known vulnerabilities would be shaded pink. But as none are shaded, I think this means there are no releases with known vulnerabilities.

Royalties make companies. They are recurring and can be used to extrapolate future earnings.

Licence fees are one off’s that should not be used to value future revenue. They give uninformed investors a sugar hit but like a capital raise once spent they are gone.

A verified partnership with ARM for example without a license fee is worth far more than a license fee from ISL for example.

Hi guys. What is your opinion on Juan Chapa leaving the company.

In the recent Commsec interview, Sean Hehir did say they were reshuffling (paraphrasing, the exact word was different) their sales team.
Listen to 7:15 min mark.
This is a strategic decision as a part of regrouping the sales team and tightening the register imv.

Hi guys. What is your opinion on Juan Chapa leaving the company.

You should read the Galaxy Semiconductor website and the blog and you will see that it is clear they have brought him on board because they need someone to sell their new intelligent platform and given his background and experience you might think that this new platform will contain neuromorphic IP.

Apart from this he is a salesman not a principal engineer or Chief Scientist.

People at the sales level come and go all the time.

In net terms Brainchip gained Edge Impulse and its 4,000 engineering partners and lost one sales person it is clearly a net gain on the sales side of things of more than 3,999.

I SAID RECENTLY that those who seek to attack Brainchip have nothing left that has any credibility so over on HC they are left to try and fabricate a negative from a salesman leaving.

Pretty sad really.

Still not addressing the 1% challenge.

...

Appreciate a short term chart with a bit of rsi and macd thrown in with whatever other indicators of preference. Anyone, anyone Bueller?

Rise, Long term support failed to hold, as the double bottom is in play now, the MACD has crossed over to the down move, RSI is on the nose as well, it will take some news to turn this around to the up & I don't think it will be today...IMO

 

[Fact Finder]

Will be interesting to see whether ROC provides the promised response today or if it remains in a trading halt.

Fingers crossed for a quick outcome and a useful precedent for shareholders and Brainchip.

A chip that can classify nearly 2 billion images per second​

by Melissa Pappas, University of Pennsylvania

As a proof of concept, the researchers’ chip was tested on data sets containing either two or four types of handwritten characters, achieving classification accuracies higher than 93.8% and 89.8%, respectively. Credit: University of Pennsylvania
Artificial intelligence (AI) plays an important role in many systems, from predictive text to medical diagnoses. Inspired by the human brain, many AI systems are implemented based on artificial neural networks, where electrical equivalents of biological neurons are interconnected, trained with a set of known data, such as images, and then used to recognize or classify new data points.

In traditional neural networks used for image recognition, the image of the target object is first formed on an image sensor, such as the digital camera in a smart phone. Then, the image sensor converts light into electrical signals, and ultimately into the binary data, which can then be processed, analyzed, stored and classified using computer chips. Speeding up these abilities is key to improving any number of applications, such as face recognition, automatically detecting text in photos, or helping self-driving cars recognize obstacles.
While current, consumer-grade image classification technology on a digital chip can perform billions of computations per second, making it fast enough for most applications, more sophisticated image classification such as identifying moving objects, 3D object identification, or classification of microscopic cells in the body, are pushing the computational limits of even the most powerful technology. The current speed limit of these technologies is set by the clock-based schedule of computation steps in a computer processor, where computations occur one after another on a linear schedule.
To address this limitation, Penn Engineers have created the first scalable chip that classifies and recognizes images almost instantaneously. Firooz Aflatouni, Associate Professor in Electrical and Systems Engineering, along with postdoctoral fellow Farshid Ashtiani and graduate student Alexander J. Geers, have removed the four main time-consuming culprits in the traditional computer chip: the conversion of optical to electrical signals, the need for converting the input data to binary format, a large memory module, and clock-based computations.
They have achieved this through direct processing of light received from the object of interest using an optical deep neural network implemented on a 9.3 square millimeter chip.

The study, published in Nature, describes how the chip's many optical neurons are interconnected using optical wires or "waveguides" to form a deep network of many "neuron layers" mimicking that of the human brain. Information passes through the layers of the network, with each step helping to classify the input image into one of its learned categories. In the researchers' study, the images the chip classified were of hand-drawn, letter-like characters.
Just like the neural network in our brains, this deep network is designed in a way that allows for rapid information processing. The researchers demonstrated that their chip can perform an entire image classification in half of a nanosecond—the time it takes traditional digital computer chips to complete just one computation step on their clock-based schedule.
"Our chip processes information through what we call 'computation-by-propagation,' meaning that unlike clock-based systems, computations occur as light propagates through the chip," says Aflatouni. "We are also skipping the step of converting optical signals to electrical signals because our chip can read and process optical signals directly, and both of these changes make our chip a significantly faster technology."
The chip's ability to process optical signals directly lends itself to another benefit.
"When current computer chips process electrical signals they often run them through a Graphics Processing Unit, or GPU, which takes up space and energy," says Ashtiani. "Our chip does not need to store the information, eliminating the need for a large memory unit."
"And, by eliminating the memory unit that stores images, we are also increasing data privacy," Aflatouni says. "With chips that read image data directly, there is no need for photo storage and thus, a data leak does not occur."
A chip that reads information at light speed and provides a higher degree of cybersecurity would undoubtedly have an impact in many fields; this is one of the reasons research into this technology has ramped up in the past several years.
"We aren't the first to come up with technology that reads optical signals directly," says Geers, "but we are the first to create the complete system within a chip that is both compatible with existing technology and scalable to work with more complex data."
The chip, with its deep network design, requires training to learn and classify new data sets, similar to how humans learn. When presented with a given data set, the deep network takes in the information and classifies it into previously learned categories. This training needs to strike a balance that is specific enough to result in accurate image classifications and general enough to be useful when presented with new data sets. The engineers can "scale up" the deep network by adding more neural layers, allowing the chip to read data in more complex images with higher resolution.
And, while this new chip will advance current image sensing technology, it can be used for countless applications across a variety of data types.
"What's really interesting about this technology is that it can do so much more than classify images," says Aflatouni. "We already know how to convert many data types into the electrical domain—images, audio, speech, and many other data types. Now, we can convert different data types into the optical domain and have them processed almost instantaneously using this technology."
But what does it look like when information is processed at the speed of light?
"To understand just how fast this chip can process information, think of a typical frame rate for movies," he continues. "A movie usually plays between 24 and 120 frames per second. This chip will be able to process nearly 2 billion frames per second! For problems that require light speed computations, we now have a solution, but many of the applications may not be fathomable right now."
With a piece of technology that has many applications, it is important to understand its abilities and limitations at more fundamental levels, and Aflatouni's current and future plans for this research will do just that.
"Our next steps in this research will examine the scalability of the chip as well as work on three-dimensional object classification," says Aflatouni. "Then maybe we will venture into the realm of classifying non-optical data. While image classification is one of the first areas of research for this chip, I am excited to see how it will be used, perhaps together with digital platforms, to accelerate different types of computations."

Only misses by one feature on chip one shot and incremental learning.

“The chip, with its deep network design, requires training to learn and classify new data sets, similar to how humans learn. When presented with a given data set, the deep network takes in the information and classifies it into previously learned categories. This training needs to strike a balance that is specific enough to result in accurate image classifications and general enough to be useful when presented with new data sets.

They can gloss up the speed by throwing in speed of light etc; but both AKIDA and their chip are processing in ‘real time’.

They do not mention power consumption in the article. If it was ridiculously low like AKIDA I would expect this to be mentioned.

They refer to it being scalable but conclude by saying they need to investigate its scalability.

Clearly not coming to market for a few years yet.

Yep....I was over there for awhile going toe to toe with Sackman as I call him bagging him for his "dot joining" on Chapa move and painting a negative slant as usual.

I will post this bit as one of his last comments to me haha

"Your logic is extremely difficult to follow."

Poor soul

Even TDH (The D*ck Head) as I call him...signs posts as TD sometimes...tried to hop in and quote me but just ignore him these days.

Don't like talking about hot crapper as I believe it is morally corrupt IMO...
But for those that are interested the Shareman was pigsmightfly a few years ago.
That's the last I speak of that immoral place
