Just checked my emails and nothing at this point in time. I sent it to Perth and to the US. The time difference can come into play but I suspect it has taken them by surprise.
Will report when and if I hear anything. They may choose to ignore me for a little while.

Just a bit of law from ‘the Castle’ it would have to be ‘on just terms’HiFF , What is communications EAP ? I crossed to the dark side momentarily and a poster mentioned that . With Napoleon and Hitler failing to defeat Russia via the Ukraine ( the flat lands ) what on earth is the Biden administration thinking by taking on a similar strategy. All I see as a result is petrol and gas going through the roof and creating disharmony and the need for our ultra low energy low cost chip to be in greater demand .Am I correct in stating that there is an opening for a government to take from a company an asset ( our Brainchip) if it is deemed of utmost importance to the nation if that company has not been moving fast enough to get it into use pronto . If so and BRN is deemed to be in that category, I reckon we would be given an exemption due to most governments around the world at the moment being unable to show that they have anyone smart in them .
‘What is communications EAP?’
The only thing that comes to mind is in the video interview involving Sean Hehir and Tony Dawe Sean Hehir said that they had been approached by a large communications company to discuss using AKIDA for a purpose Brainchip had not considered.
If it is not this then it could be Intellisense as they are looking at cognitive communications using AKIDA on an SBIR in the USA.
Cannot think of anything else.

No this proved why AKIDA uses so little energy just like the human brain.
If you told AKIDA to watch the Skoda that is what it will do it will only process the car.
This is a cheap trick used by magicians they tell you to watch something and that is what you do allowing things outside the subject of your focus to occur without being seen.
That is why when AKIDA is the brain a of a security camera alarm it does not give false alerts for birds, cats, dogs it only reacts to unwanted relatives and debt collectors.
My opinion only but it is a very important distinction between AKIDA and everything else on the market.

Keeping in mind I am a technophobe, old and a retired lawyer and so have no idea but this AKIDA technology differentiator could provide a way for ground to air and air to air missiles to remain locked on the enemy plane and not be confused by chaff or flares.

I never brought that much but might be able to get a caravan, maybe if I buy a few more I might be able to afford a car as wellYeah cause you won’t need a mortgage in anout 2 years time
Edge Impulse tweeted a link to this. Not sure if posted before but interesting read.

Hi @Toto111
This has all the signs of being significant. We need @Diogenese to do a deep patent dive into TDK to see what Ai they are using in this Edge sensor.

CONTROLLER OF ARRAY INCLUDING NEUROMORPHIC ELEMENT, METHOD OF ARITHMETICALLY OPERATING DISCRETIZATION STEP SIZE, AND PROGRAM
Feb 19, 2018 - TDK CORPORATIONA controller is a controller of an array including a neuromorphic element that multiplies a weight based on a value of a variable characteristic by a signal, and includes a control unit that controls the characteristic of the neuromorphic element by using a discretization step size obtained so that a predetermined condition for reducing an error or a predetermined condition for improving accuracy is satisfied on the basis of a case where a true value of the weight obtained with a higher accuracy than a resolution of the characteristic of the neuromorphic element is used and a case where a discretization step size which is set for the characteristic of the neuromorphic element is used.

The trick of this invention is to enable gas sensors to be calibrated from sampling only a few of the target gasses using a NN.
There is no description of an NPU, so the NN is one someone baked earlier.
US2020371076A1 Method and Apparatus for Operating a Multi-Gas Sensor
1 . A method for operating a multi-gas sensor comprising multiple sensor elements, wherein the multi-gas sensor is configured to detect and/or sense a predefined number M of different gases, the method comprising:
providing at least one calibration input comprising:
sensor design data of the multi-gas sensor, which varies dependent on production process parameters; and/or
sensor production process parameter data of the multi-gas sensor; and/or
measurement results of the multi-gas sensor captured when the multi-gas sensor is exposed to one of the gases or a gas mixture to be detected and/or sensed by the multi-gas sensor;
providing a trained neural network comprising an input layer with K input nodes, an output layer with L output nodes and at least one hidden layer, wherein L, M and K are natural numbers;
storing each calibration input as a fixed input to a corresponding input node of the trained neural network; and
providing a multi-gas sensor output for at least a part of the gases to be detected and/or sensed by the multi-gas sensor dependent on the trained neural network and actual measured sensor values from the sensor elements, which are provided to corresponding input nodes of the trained neural network.
[0030] The respective gas sensor element 10 shown in FIG. 1 comprises for example a sensing layer 11 of metal oxide. The gas sensor elements 10 are, for instance, integrated with a CMOS circuitry (not shown) on a single chip. A stack of layers 13 is arranged on a semiconductor substrate 14 required for the CMOS circuitry. The respective gas sensor element 10 comprises a membrane. A portion of the semiconductor substrate 14 is, for instance, etched away to form a cavity 12 at the location of the sensing layer 11 . Remaining layers 13 and possibly a remaining portion of the substrate 14 form a thin membrane to support the layer 11 .
[0031] The respective sensor element 10 comprises a heating element 15 . The heating element 15 is embedded within the layer 13 and comprises conducting elements. The heating element 15 is configured to provide a local source of heat to heat the metal oxide layer 11 e.g., during operation of the gas sensor element 10 . The temperature can rise rapidly around the metal oxide layer 11 on the membrane, while a thicker part of the gas sensor chip, i.e. the portion where the substrate 14 is not removed, reacts with a slower rise of temperature due to its thermal inertia. By controlling the heating element 15 accordingly, the metal oxide layer 11 can be activated for a measurement and be regenerated afterwards.
[0032] Each of the metal oxide layers 11 is contacted by two conductive electrodes and hence acts as a resistor. In the presence of a compound its resistance changes, thereby providing a measure of a concentration of the compound in the immediate vicinity of the metal oxide sensing layer 11 . The change of the resistance and/or impedance can be measured by a voltage measurement.
[0035] Gas sensors have to be calibrated. The output signals of the gas sensor elements 10 are generally in the form of a voltage value. Calibration is needed to implement a relation between the gas sensor element 10 signal and the concentration level of the corresponding gas.
[0038] Because of manufacturing tolerances it is not possible to produce exact copies of a gas sensor in a production process. There are always small fluctuations in the provided output signals. This is the reason why nearly all gas sensor products need to be calibrated after assembly. This means that calibration data is determined and used during operation of the gas sensor to adjust the sensor signals of the sensor elements 10 to provide accurate measurement output signals.
[0046] Embodiments provide relevant or most relevant calibration information and perform some gas exposure tests, i.e. not for all gases but only for some, and train the neural network N such that the neural network N can be used to provide the calibration also for other untested gases.

Hi @Stable Genius
Probably wrong but having read both patents I think they are relying on a neuromorphic element that as @Diogenese would say was prepared earlier.
I will now wait for the Ogre to crush my hopes.
