BRN Discussion Ongoing

[cosors]

The International VLSI Design & Embedded Systems conference held in Hyderabad, India will be happening from 8 - 12 Jan 2023. A lot of the big name Semiconductor companies will be there.

Here's the link https://vlsid.org/

"International VLSI Design & Embedded Systems conference is a Premier Global conference with legacy of over three and half decades. This Global Annual technical conference that focusses on latest advancements in VLSI and Embedded Systems, is attended by over 2000 engineers, students & faculty, industry, academia, researchers, bureaucrats and government bodies.

Semiconductors are the intangible backbone of every industry across the globe. Silicon took the lion’s share over the past decades and remained the primary enabler for digitization of the world. With scaling reaching its fundamental limits, it is time to look at addressing technological challenges at higher levels of abstraction in CMOS based design and at the same
time, look beyond Silicon for further performance enhancement.

VLSID 2023 – the first physical conference post pandemic, acts a platform for industry and academia alike to discuss, deliberate and explore into the frontiers of semiconductor eco-system that could eventually enable disruptive technologies for global digitalization."

Now it has taken place. Moschip and Cadence are among the sponsors. It was also about:

"Neuromorphic Circuits and Systems:
Device, circuit, architecture design, analysis and optimization for neuromorphic computing systems, Complexity and scalability of neuromorphic computing, Emerging technologies for brain-inspired nano-computing and communication, Applications of neuromorphic computing in embedded and IoT devices, unmanned vehicles and drones, and cyber-physical systems."

Thanks for that Mate. Now I wonder if this is broken down by account or by registered name owner? I have 3 accounts so would it be registered as 3 holders or just 1.
I also know people that have 5 accounts that hold BRN shares.

If that is based on an account it's safe to say BRN may have say no More then 20 000 individuals or businesses that hold shares.

The less actually people with shares the better I believe lth are going to be rewarded when more want in on the pie.

IMO

Evening Kachoo,

Several others bought up the same query, to be honest I do not know, but...

Every share holder in Oz has a CHES number , linking back to the owner of said security's.

However, and do not quote me , if bought through a a floating , as opposed through a private SMSA ( self managed super acount), yes I would think the managed account would have their own CHESS equivalent number and hence register as a separate entity, holder.

For example ETFs for bundle multiple stocks into units for punters to buy & sell. The ETF would have their own number and punters go through them.

Had a few sherberts and listening to great music, in my ears, sorry for the delay response.

Hope this helps.

Regards,
Esq.

Good Evening Chippers,

Naturally completely off topic , last week you all saw a little of Chicago, this next Set comes from New York home of the biggest Financial Exchanges in the world , DOW & NAS.

Bank of New York Mellon resides here also , Brainchips conduit onto the Pink Slips , ADRS.

America comes back on line tonight.

Yes , I seem to reffrence female DJs, thay seem to have more natural / softer sense of rythem & naturally softer on the eyes.

Enjoy.

How Musk's stubbornness about autonomous driving could endanger Tesla's existence
by Martin Seiwert
January 16, 2023

Just let go? Tesla sells an autopilot that's really just driver assistance

For over six years, Tesla has been promising self-driving cars — without delivering. Did the manufacturer get lost with the hardware? A class action lawsuit in the US is now increasing the pressure.

It's interesting too because Renesas is adopting Si-Five's Intelligence Series for it's automotive processors. I wonder if Renesas intend on taping out their own version of an Akida+ SiFive Intelligence Series chip?

SiFive Intelligence platform tapped by Tenstorrent and Renesas

SiFive announced that AI chip startup Tenstorrent will license a new 64-bit SiFive Intelligence X280 CPU for its Tensix cores and that Renesas will adopt SiFive Intelligence for its automotive processors.

Renesas, SiFive to bring high-end RISC-V to automotive

Partnership will also include SiFive licensing their industry-leading RISC-V core IP portfolio to Renesas.

Nice find. It doesn’t have to mean anything more than Tenstorrent is just using RISC-V architecture from SiFive, but I wonder if Jim Keller knows about Akida

Just watching The Ipcress File for the second time in 57 years - Hollerith cards ... pay phones ... rotary dials ... audio tapes ... paper planes ... omelettes ... proton-proton scattering devices ...

If they'd had Akida, they could have decyphered the tape in moments.

The point of the story is that, after 57 years of punctured souffles, I've finally accepted that it was not Harry Palmer's technique with the egg whisk which made him such a success with the opposite ...

I know it is a strange relationship I have with the shares I have had purchased through my Super fund (Care super industry fund).
It allows me to have up to 20% of the total value of my fund in any one of the listed companies in the ASX200/300 or a bunch of recommended ETF's.
But as I understand it I don't actually own the shares. And I do not have voting rights associated with them. They are held in trust for me by the fund and I can have them sold at any time with about 48 hours notice, and then the net proceeds are held in cash in a holding account until I either allocate them to an ongoing investment fund of my choosing or withdraw them, tax free, as I have now officially retired.
Its all a bit clunky and costs me $10 a month to have the facility, but it seems to work ok.

 

[wilzy123]

This is my understanding.
If you have BRN shares in both commsec or similar plus say via Australian super account (invest up to 20%) then you are counted as two individuals.
So people like me are counted as 2 of the 46000 approx shareholders. How many of the 1000 eyes or other BRN investors may be like me.

Pretty sure it's based on HIN. 1 hodler per HIN.
My opinion only. DYOR. LMAO.

I found this interesting business case study on ARM, what stood out was the timelines involved. Signing licensees at the start and getting to royalties takes a looong time, but my take is that it is like a snowball on a mountain…slowly builds into an unstoppable force and likely to be a wild ride. Strap in or bail out depending on your risk tolerance!

If you have direct investment in BRN through Australia super for example you don't actually own the shares in your name. Australia super owns them but you are attributed to their value. You will see this when it comes time for the AGM as you won't be given a voting registration.

Awesome read Moonshot
Reading this gives a perspective of what BRN is going through now.

Thanks. Lots of parallels there - hope it's the same with revenue!

Yep 1 holder per HIN
but if you have BRN shares via multiple sources like commsec, SMSF and a super fund you have multiple links and counted as seperate share holders. Just ask a accountant who deals with this stuff.

I hold some shares in Aus Super. I’ve started to move away from buying under this structure as when I questioned them about voting rights, I received the same response as above. I then questioned Aus Super on dividends and apparently they aren’t distributed to your account as Aus Super owns the shares. So basically going forward you are reliant on share price increase only. I now hold shares in several structures and am seen as multiple holders. I am not a financial advisor or accountant and am going only on my own research. So DYOR
@Fact Finder, I really miss your contribution to this forum. You wisdom reaches further than you realise. I appreciate all the hours of reading, notes, background checks you have put into your posts. Thank you!!

What you have said is generally correct and would have a seperate CHESS equivalent number.
So we may have a lot less actual share holders (individuals) then the quoted 46000 share holders on the register.

A very interesting read @Moonshot.

We’re very lucky to have someone like RT, whose experience with ARM would be invaluable. Especially given we are using a similar IP sales model ourselves. He’s already walked the walk!

I found these paragraphs quite relevant:

Customer-Centricity
Another key focus area for the team at ARM was customer-centricity. Talking about the “customer is king” mentality, Urquhart commented, “Too often start-ups get so hung up on their wonderful technology they forget that they have to understand the market and customers and develop their product to meet the customers’ needs (at the right price).” He recollected the early years at ARM, and their constant focus on the customer,


Eco-system
One limiting feature of the IP licensing business model was the time it took to generate revenue— it could take years from the time a license was signed until the royalties started to kick in. But as the ARM architecture became more and more widely licensed, ARM put a lot of effort into building a partnership ecosystem of fabricators, OEM’s, circuit design tool producers and third- party suppliers of software libraries (for graphics, sensors, networking, etc.); so that anything that an ARM licensee might need would be available from its ecosystem (refer to Exhibit 3 for ARM Business model).


Cheers
