BRN Discussion Ongoing

Fat is the best part of meat, it is where all the vitamins are and it adds so much flavour. One could say it is the "sly" part of the "meat". Why cut it off?

The theory that animal fat makes people fat or contributes to heart attacks has been debunked completely.

Animal fat, along with eggs, have long been taken off the naughty list.
Mmm bread and dripping remind me of the broom houses in Germany 🇩🇪
Not to mention the great wine..

Hypothetical question. If another huge industry player announces they are incorporating Akida into their product and we have another run to $2.31, are you holding strong or taking some profit off the table?
Hold hold and hold more tighter

Good evening, all

It's the close of 15 November 2022...as the sun finally sets in Perth, Brainchip HQ (my selfish opinion).

We only have 31 business days left in this year, can you believe it, or am I just getting old! for God's sake slow the days down!

I have a rather large hunch; it's going to be all quiet on the western front until around 27 January 2023, but don't despair, while our
share price is so low (my selfish opinion) it's a great time to buy, time to get my black balaclava out of the wardrobe again!

I feel like saying Merry Christmas, but that's just my stupid sense of humour again. :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::rolleyes:

Me personally, I'll be holding. I will hold no matter what till 2025, then reasses. It will depend on all my other investments and what my broker recommends in my retirement. That is why its easy to hold, as I have a plan. All this, it's just noise and interest.

Has anyone looked in to Aeva? They have the worlds first 4D LiDAR.

Looks pretty impressive. No idea about power usage etc but it looks like they've achieved what no one else has been able to with LiDAR.

Industry Applications​

Designed for a wide variety of applications including level 3 and 4 autonomy for cars, trucks, people and goods mobility, as well as non-automotive applications including industrial automation, smart infrastructure and warehouse automation.


Edit:
The whole system fits on a single silicon chip. They've also partnered with NASA to map the surface of the moon.

They use a heterodyne technique to detect doppler shifts of moving objects.

They split the transmit beam and use one part to mix with the reflected beam (heterodyne) to determine the frequency/wavelength shift (doppler shift) of light reflected from the moving object. The doppler shift is a measure of the speed of the moving object. Combined with time-of-flight measurements, both the distance and speed of the object can be determined. The direction is determined by the location of the illuminated pixels.

A light detection and ranging (LIDAR) system is provided that includes a first optical source and a second optical source configured to emit respectively a first optical beam and a second optical beam that are nondegenerate and are chirped antiphase and at least one tap configured to split each of the first optical beam and the second optical beam to generate a first local oscillator and a second local oscillator. The LIDAR system further includes lensing optics to direct the first and second optical beams toward a target and collect reflected light from the first optical beam and second optical beam incident upon the target into a return path, the reflected light being collected into a return optical beam comprising a first return signal and a second return signal, and a first optical detector and a second optical detector configured to detect a first beat frequency generated from by mixing the first return signal with the first local oscillator and a second beat frequency generated from mixing the second return signal with the second local oscillator.

Thanks Dio, that's an interesting read!

Doppler: If a source of sound or light is approaching, then the wavelength is compressed by an amount proportional to the approach speed. Conversely, for a retreating source of sound/light, the wavelength is lengthened. The train whistle is used as an example.

Heterodyning involves subtracting from a received signal a signal with a frequency which is about the same as the received frequency. The resulting signal is the difference between the received reflected signal and the subtracted signal. In this case, because the transmitted signal frequency is the same as the subtracted signal, then the reflected signal differs from the transmitted/subtracted signal by the doppler shift frequency.

The above quote comes from one of many articles in the following linked European Edition of EE Times:


EE Times Europe
https://www.eetimes.eu › ...PDF
EMC Filter Design at the Push of a Button - EE Times Europe
13 Sept 2022 — BrainChip sees its neuromorphic processor next to every sensor in a car. ... Mercedes used BrainChip's Akida…”

Some of the articles have been posted but this is a convenient all in one place link.

My opinion only DYOR

I stumbled upon this EE Times article from September 2022 via google and thought it would be worth sharing on TSEX.

Before sharing, I had a quick check to see if anyone else had shared it (via the search function) and it seems @Fact Finder beat me to the punch.

For those that haven't read the article, I'd highly recommend that you do.

Page 18 of the PDF - Cars That Think Like You.

3 pages of pure joy covering neuromorphic technology with a particular focus on Akida and the Mercedes EQXX concept vehicle.

Like the rest of you, I also enjoyed the Edge Impulse video. Who doesn't love to see a partner extolling the virtues of our company to a live audience of conference attendee's.

Yet, I am puzzled by a disconnect which I am fretting about, but believe is just me getting needlessly "wrapped around the axle" of inconsequential minutia.

In Sean Hehir's first AGM address he said that " ...the Semiconductor world is very aware of Brainchip after last week" (meaning after Brainchip's attendance at the Global Semiconductor Alliance Leadership Summit a week or so before the AGM}.

Why would the Edge Impulse speaker tell the audience that it is probable that none of them have ever heard of Brainchip? Or, more to my point, who were in his audience? I would have presumed they were part of the Semiconductor world,...that is afterall a big world.

So, with very little to fret about generally, I have picked this out of what was otherwise a few minute's of must see TV ( or video).

Yours, .... dippY

That's why I hold a trading parcel to sell on those monster moves. I could hold a trading parcel for many months to sell. I Always have a core parcel so no tears would be shed if she keeps rocketing.

I have a niece who is an endo working in remote Australia with indigenous communities specifically trying to treat what can only be described as a diabetes pandemic. Such advances as this could immediately be put to good use.

By combining hardware acceleration, a smart MEMS IMU, and an easy-to-use ML development platform, Alif Semiconductor, Bosch Sensortec GmbH, and Edge Impulse have dramatically simplified the creation of edge sensing applications that classify complex motions and identify gestures — offering a 40X performance boost over similar existing solutions. #electronicaFair

Consumer Reports ranks Mercedes Benz least reliable of cars they ranked (around 20-25 models/brands) based on feedback from 300,000 +/- car owners, based mainly on software issues. Ouch.

Can someone help them turn that lemon report into lemonade in the future????

I remember bread and dripping from my youth—the staple Monday lunch following the Sunday roast. But even better when cleaning the pan while still warm.

Left over fats used to be strained and retained, to be used to fry with later. That aspect of cooking has been lost today. Along with the flavour. Although I was happy to see a device advertised recently for doing precisely that. Maybe the circle has turned. Again!

The young’ns won‘t be able to relate to bread and dripping.

Well... I'm about to board a flight for work. I'm hoping by the time that I get off that this forum is alight with Qualcomm news, following the new Snapdragon launch? Wishful thinking yes... but looking through the Qualcomm thread on this forum alone.... Qualcomm's adoption of edge Ai, privacy improvements, self learning, Arm ecosystem partnerships... etc etc. For me, now is the time to start embedding Akida in phones, prior to vehicle systems in 2024. And if Akida is not being adopted... why not? All the likes between BRN and Qualcomm staff... seem like bread crumbs leading to this "Holy Grail?"

I'll continue to hold regardless... but if Qualcomm can achieve everything that sounds like brainchip (walks like a duck etc) - without Brainchip - then what does that mean for Brainchips future? Have we lost the 3 to 5 year technology lead?

Anyway... it's exciting to be a holder. GLTA.
