Announcement of capital and business alliance with Magik Eye Inc, which owns advanced technology for 3D sensing​

Accelerating the development of camera modules targeting the growing 3D sensing market
Shikino High Tech Co., Ltd. (hereinafter, Shikino High Tech) is a part of MagikEye Inc. (Headquarters: Connecticut, USA, Magic Eye),
which possesses advanced technology for 3D sensing. On June 7, 2022, we announced that we
have acquired shares and signed an MOU for joint development of camera modules that utilize this technology . This alliance is the first step towards future collaboration between the two companies developing products and technologies , especially with regard to the commercialization of cameras for 3D sensing, which is growing rapidly in the sensing camera market, where demand has been increasing in recent years . After discussions between the two companies, we plan to conclude a joint development agreement for commercialization. Takeo Miyazawa, CEO of MagikEye Inc., said: "We have developed a unique 3D measurement algorithm: ILT (Invertible Light Technology) (registered trademark). Simply add an ultra-compact laser projector designed with this technology to an existing camera module to achieve up to 600fps.

Very interesting release on Professor Hossam Haicks progress

Why scent is the next frontier for technology - ISRAEL21c

Scientists and entrepreneurs are increasingly turning to scent to help detect disease, boost memory, entertain, and protect people from food allergies.

www.israel21c.org

I wonder where this came from:

“Detecting food spoilage is another growing use case.

“Today this is done by a human smelling it. It’s not always an objective decision,” Haick notes. An electronic nose would be more consistent. And, while connoisseurs might not appreciate it, a computer algorithm can analyze a glass of red or white wine more effectively than a living, breathing sommelier.”

My opinion only DYOR

[TheFunkMachine]

It’s hard to keep track of all the brilliant posts on here, but thanks for sharing it with all of us! I have been too busy to do anything lately, but about to go on 5 week holiday so might will catch up on some reading and continue my DD then.

It won’t be long until this is past ATH. I don’t know when it will be, but my guess early next year we will be paving new territory in SP. But I am just staying patient and waiting at this stage, I am convinced we are owning a pice of tech history here and will all be greatly rewarded in due time. We probably won’t hear from KitWalker and pigs might fly then, but it does bring a grin on my face thinking about how they will realise they were wrong and we where right.

Good start to the week and I wont complain about 1%. it’s all I want per day, is that so much to ask for?

 

[Rise from the ashes]

AI piloted sky hotel anyone? Detecting air turbulence and managing onboard systems to counteract it.

As long as I can bring my own parachute.

 

[robsmark]

As long as I can bring my own parachute.

Obviously it’s a concept, but it brings to point some interesting use cases for Akida in turbulence management.

Phew.. lucky I saw this post was just on the phone to Jetstar to book a flight
Yes another interesting use case for akida which totally flew over my head.

 

[Earlyrelease]

Thanks for that. We can all have a bit of fun

Under selling yourself.

Should be PVDM- "identical twin, stunt double and PR stand In when multi events booked."

Wonder if BrainChip will follow suit.
NEW YORK, June 24 (Reuters) - U.S. companies including Walt Disney Co (DIS.N) and Facebook parent Meta Platforms Inc (META.O) said on Friday they will cover employees' expenses if they have to travel for abortion service.

Haha, I'd come unstuck pretty quick. Perhaps i could attend a function and claim I was suffering from laryngitis via a hand held sign. Hehe

Nvidia use 16-bit or 32-bit weights/actuations.

3rd Generation Tensor Cores and Sparsity NVIDIA Tensor cores provide the performance necessary to accelerate next generation AI applications. Tensor cores are programmable fused matrix-multiply-and-accumulate units that execute concurrently alongside the CUDA cores. Tensor cores implement floating point HMMA (HalfPrecision Matrix Multiply and Accumulate) and IMMA (Integer Matrix Multiple and Accumulate) instructions for accelerating dense linear algebra computations, signal processing, and deep learning inference


They do try to fudge a bit of sparsity by ignoring zeros if 2 out of every 4 bits are non-zero (or do they mean if 2 out of every 4 bits are zero?). Anyhow, they have to count the bits (fine-tuning weights), and add the address (value) of the non-zero bits (non-zero indices, ie, is its value 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, ...?). Rather inelegant!

There is an opportunity to plug Akida in in place of the Vision Accelerator in the green Xavier SoC box - but they have Watts to burn.

So, on the disclosed information ...

Xavier is the old platform, build in actual Mercedes models. Thought there might be some progress in the new Orin architecture, as it is much faster with less power consumption..

And it also seems they are associated with Socionexts SC1320A o and wait for it... PANASONIC

As members of the HD-PLC Alliance, Socionext and Shikino High-Tech will continue to work closely together and propose a variety of applications that utilize HD-PLC, in addition to delivering stand- alone ICs and communication modules, thereby contributing to the spread of this technology and the expansion of the market.

Seems like Shikino is singing -

A little bit of Socionext here i am, A little bit of Panasonic by my side, a little bit of Magic-eye is what i see and A little bit of AKIDA is what i need. You and me a gonna touch the sky.

Ok my singing voice is not the best but it seems all in tune above.

Hi Perhaps,

I was a little distracted and went down the Xavier rabbit hole following Fn 2.

However, as you can see, the discussion re Fig. 5 from my previous response applies to Orin. It seems nvidia wouldn't know a spike if they sat on one. They are using 16-bit or 32-bit weights and activations, with their 2-out-of-4 zero cancellation with associated values for their CNN on a chip.

The NVIDIA Deep Learning Accelerator, or DLA, is a fixed-function accelerator optimized for deep learning operations. It is designed to do full hardware acceleration of convolutional neural network inferencing. The Orin SoC brings support for the next generation NVDLA 2.0 with 9X the performance of NVDLA 1.0. DLA 2.0 provides a highly energy efficient architecture. With this new design, NVIDIA increased local buffering for even more efficiency and reduced DRAM bandwidth. DLA 2.0 additionally brings a set of new features including structured sparsity, depth wise convolution, and a hardware scheduler. This enables up to 105 INT8 Sparse TOPs total on Jetson AGX Orin DLAs compared with 11.4 INT8 Dense TOPS total on Jetson AGX Xavier DLAs.

PS: While it is against Ogres Inc policy to accept returned ogres, the company may have been prepared to make a exception in this case. However, it would then be necessary to issue a new one ...

Apologies

Thanks.

Hey Izzzzy, perhaps you didn't know this but using the C word is actually incredibly misogynistic and insulting to women. Nothing shows greater contempt for women than using the vernacular for vagina as the ultimate term of abuse or insult. Just saying.

Unless he meant dont be a

 

[Bravo]

Unless he meant dont be a

We all know what he meant because he's done it before.

Thank you for that. Sounds like AWS has got good security but is still cloud based so not suitable in areas of dodgy internet connection.
Also the latency issue may still be a problem?
Cheers
Boab

Just need to unwind the acronym really, AWS stands for Amazon Web Services - says it all, their edge can only be the edge of the cloud.

Just found this pop up on a surf.

Not sure if been posted previously but anyway, little 2pg intro to Akida

Doc attached.
