BRN Discussion Ongoing

Is this like a Chinese social credit score?

You're doing a great job with the forum Zee. I'd rather read the squabbles on the forum re. Moderation that read the shit that gets posted everyday in the bad place.

No. All it does is use some rather simple metrics to determine who will not have access to a feature. It’s no different in this respect to using the same kinds of metrics to decide who isn’t allowed to post anymore, and so on.

Listen, honestly, this is getting all a bit much now. Either we have rules and they are enforced and I take reasonable measures to make sure it is fair and effective… or, we have no rules at all.

The forum clearly votes for having rules (it’s why we are arguably all here in the first instance) and I won’t be dissuaded into removing simple and (so far) effective measures for taking a small amount of people away from a single feature, which has resulted in a much fairer use now, from what I see.

Patents can take a few years to grant after filing. While it would be prudent to wait for a patent application to be filed before negotiating, it is unlikely that IP licence negotiations would be delayed for grant.
The Akida IP licence includes rights to use the circuit layout rights (the masks defining the silicon layers), configuration software, model libraries, confidential information, as well as the patents.

I have been pondering why the potential delays in rolling out BRN IP into products etc given all the news to date from many angles and a response I received last week that didn’t really answer my questions as requested.
You have generally hit the nail right on the head with this one and it’s my thoughts it may be why some delays may be occurring to date in BRN final negotiations / signing on the dotted line with companies and then producing products for end users (customers) is until patents are formally granted and not just filed as application pending. It’s my understanding BRN have 30 patents approx filed with patent offices waiting to be granted but still filed as application pending. It’s my thoughts that once patents are formally granted by patent offices this may significantly derisk any issues for all parties concerned before producing products.

Always DYOR and enjoy any banter from fellow BRN posters as to why my thoughts are not the case as to a potential key reasons for delays in revenue etc for BRN.

Note - I assume this post will not be reported even though it appears to have negative content.

Ain’t most of the patents still waiting, the same patents? but in different countries? So why would that delay anything?

BrainChip’s patent portfolio now comprises 8 US and 1 Chinese granted patent. BrainChip has recently expanded international patent filings with a total of 21 patent applications currently pending in the US, Europe, Canada, Japan, Korea, Australia, Brazil, Mexico and Israel.


Some of these patents must have been approved as my previous post was from brainchip website

And I’ve 2 different numbers pending one says 27 and the other 29

Hi Rocket

My understanding the number of patents (filed as application pending) as you have stated may be about right. It’s my understanding this is captured in the latest BRN 2022 final report issued last week via ASX.

Sorry I can’t expand any further but if you have any questions I suggest approaching BRN management team if they are willing and able to answer any questions you may have on patents.

Edit - probably another way to look at it is until a patent is granted by patent offices then what does BRN have to sell from a IP point of view? Yes it’s intellectual property (IP) of BRN on file (application pending) with patent offices around the world. Yes all the NDA’s and secret meetings with sales teams at tech events around the world can still happen as they appear to be happening but a customer may not proceed until a patent (application pending) is granted. On a solid positive if I’m correct and BRN management are saying is correct with high interest on BRN IP then this could open up a flood gate(s) with so called backlog of products being produced with BRN IP entering the market for consumers etc to purchase. Hence what Sean has mentioned in the past in interviews or last AGM that revenue etc may be lumpy and this is what my thoughts are in part regarding reference lumpy revenue in the near future.

As Always DYOR and have a good weekend.

@The Pope It may be a question you should put forward at the AGM.

 

[The Pope]

Wasn’t it you asking the questions lol

Yes rocket, your recall is correct. Lol
Now join any other dots and maybe ask BRN management on patents prior or at the upcoming AGM

Also refer to my edit (just posted) to my last post to you. This may also assist from my point of view based on reading many posts from all on this forum and other sources to come to my current thoughts on patents (filed application pending).

It’s been mentioned to me that BRN management do read many the posts including wilzy gifs with bin on fire so I assume they may be reading my posts out of interest.

You may see me ask more questions on patents at the upcoming AGM. Pending how a question is asked and how BRN management respond (including silence or facial expressions) may speak volumes for shareholders. Hopefully all positive. Surely all BRN management attending can’t keep a poker face answering all questions.

Sad faces, thumbs down, grumpy faces, broken hearts and middle finger, could have a place on the opposite side of the poster's post?

Fire could have a place on both sides, potentially having a dual meaning..
Not sure how you'ld differentiate that one though ..

Sometimes I give someone a "burn" icon, but I think they think I liked their post..

@ZeebOt?..

Morning DingoBorat,

I always thought the flame icon meant... your on fire, Top job.

Maybe a wooden spoon picture... for the naughty ones.???

I still prefer a plain old for showing dissatisfaction to a post. No mistaking what that is

 

[Lex555]

I vote yes only because I want the execs to have a financial interest in an increasing share price

I agree and I’d also like to see execs buying on the market, if it’s still possible for them to do. Even if just token amounts, to me that’s the best signal, putting your money where your mouth is

TI makes Wi-Fi® technology more robust and affordable for connected IoT applications

New SimpleLink™ wireless connectivity devices enable efficient Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth® Low Energy 5.3 connections in any environment​

• Download high-res

DALLAS, April 18, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Texas Instruments (TI) (NASDAQ: TXN) today introduced a new SimpleLink™ family of Wi-Fi 6 companion integrated circuits (ICs) to help designers implement highly reliable, secure and efficient Wi-Fi connections at an affordable price for applications that operate in high-density or high-temperature environments up to 105ºC.
The first products in TI’s new CC33xx family include devices for Wi-Fi 6 only or for Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth Low Energy 5.3 connectivity in a single IC. When attached to a microcontroller (MCU) or processor, the CC33xx devices enable a secure Internet of Things (IoT) connection with reliable radio-frequency (RF) performance in broad industrial markets such as grid infrastructure, medical and building automation. For more information, see www.ti.com/cc33xx-pr.
"The adoption of Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 6E is accelerating, with 2.5 billion Wi-Fi 6 devices expected to ship worldwide in 2023," said Kevin Robinson, CEO of Wi-Fi Alliance. "Today’s Wi-Fi is well suited to address a variety of industrial IoT applications, and innovation from companies like Texas Instruments is helping expand the number of applications, such as electric vehicle charging systems, smart meters and smart appliances, that can rely on Wi-Fi to deliver reliable, consistent, and efficient connectivity in the IoT market."
Robust Wi-Fi performance at an affordable price
Building on TI’s growing wireless connectivity portfolio, the new SimpleLink CC3300 Wi-Fi 6 companion IC and CC3301 Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth Low Energy 5.3 companion IC start at US$1.60. The 2.4-GHz CC33xx devices provide greater Wi-Fi network efficiency and a stable connection across more than 230 access points, while operating at temperatures from –40ºC to 105ºC. The devices also allow designers to affordably connect their IoT edge nodes directly to home or enterprise access points without additional equipment.
The Wi-Fi 6 companion devices feature orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) technology and basic service set (BSS) coloring to deliver fast and consistent network performance and connect more devices simultaneously, without interference from congestion. The devices also support Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) security features, including the latest WPA3 cryptographic technologies for personal and enterprise networks and a secure boot feature with firmware authentication.
Flexibility to attach to MCUs and processors
SimpleLink CC3300 and CC3301 Wi-Fi 6 companion ICs easily attach to TI and many other companies’ MCUs and processors that support Linux® or real-time operating systems (RTOS). For example, CC33xx products easily attach to artificial intelligence (AI)-capable processors like TI’s new AM62A Arm® Cortex®-based vision processors, used in edge AI applications like smart appliances and security cameras to reliably connect smart Wi-Fi-enabled devices to the cloud.
Industrial design engineers can also incorporate TI’s CC3300 with host MCUs such as TI’s 2.4-GHz CC2652R7 SimpleLink multiprotocol wireless MCU or an AM243x MCU-hosted system to enable greater IoT flexibility with Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth LE 5.3, Thread, Zigbee 3.0 and Matter protocols.
"Adding a secure and robust wireless connection to an industrial design such an EV charging system that operates in an outdoor and potentially hard-to-reach environment is challenging and especially costly for designers," said Marian Kost, vice president and general manager of Connectivity at Texas Instruments. "Our new SimpleLink family of Wi-Fi devices makes it significantly more affordable and simpler to implement the latest Wi-Fi technologies in more places than ever before."
Package, availability and pricing
Design engineers can get started by requesting samples of the CC33xx companion ICs, which are available in a quad flat no-lead (QFN) package and start at US$1.60 in 1,000-unit quantities. A new, easy-to-use BP-CC3301 evaluation board is available for purchase on TI.com for US$39. Volume production for the CC3300 and CC3301 is expected in the fourth quarter of 2023. TI is also developing pin-to-pin compatible, dual-band 2.4- and 5-GHz Wi-Fi 6 devices that will be available as samples later this year.
CC33xx devices join TI’s growing portfolio of SimpleLink wireless MCUs, certified modules and companion ICs – along with design tools and software – designed to meet the toughest IoT connectivity design requirements. For more information, see www.ti.com/wireless.
Making connectivity simpler, scalable and more secure
TI is creating new possibilities with connectivity technology, building on its comprehensive portfolio of wired and wireless connectivity ICs. Available at an affordable price, these ICs are proven and tested to meet the highest industry and regulatory standards.
Additionally, all TI analog and embedded processing products are supported by the company’s internal manufacturing investments to help meet customer demand for decades to come.

Maybe the question to ask in regard to management performance is would we be scrutinising it so heavily if the share price were still above a $1? I personally think not.. The company (under Sean’s guidance) imo has put in place the drivers for incredible growth in the longer term. Growth that will be perpetual once it starts for real. I don’t think we should allow external factors outside of the company’s control which have influenced the direction of the share price muddy our view of managements performance.

Then how do you explain LDA =.58 and S/holder s/price at .42

 

[jtardif999]

Yep, but I do not think they would have produced a chip based on AKIDA 1000.
They waited for the improved AKIDA 1500 to be released which was more recent.
From memory AKIDA 1000 was the 1st release which BRN said was the market tester?

It can get quite confusing if you interchange chips with the architecture (the IP). My understanding is that the AKD1000 and AKD1500 (when we have it in hand) are based on the same Akida1.0 architecture - the neural fabric for both chips is the same neural fabric. The main differences AFAICT are around the way they have been fabricated with the 1500 in FDSOI tech and the 1000 in standard CMOS apparently making the 1500 more power efficient. They have also been fabricated at different foundries to help prove that Akida technology can be easily manufactured. Also the 1500 does not come with a preprocessor in place - it has a placeholder for the preprocessor whereas the 1000 comes equiped with an ARM preprocessor.

I hear the executives buying on the market comment many times. I would like to point out that insider trading works both ways buying and selling .

Could there possibly be a reason insiders can't buy tgat they have info that's not disclosed to the public?

If there are NDAs that are price sensitive then they can't by if this was made public then they could easily buy.

Just a thought IMO
