Diogenese ........... Interesting point that there is " No PvdM " as inventor nor Anil
Could there be a conflicit somewhere for such non inclusion ?

Could there be a conflicit somewhere for such non inclusion ?
The claims set out the specifics of the invention. In this case the invention is directed to machine learning, and it does this by adding NPUs to the final layer of a NN. The final layer is where the learning takes place. The "secondary training data set" spikes could be the activation event spikes from the sensor (camera/microphone/...), the primary training data set having been provided by the model library data used in initial configuration.
Supplementary spiking neurons (NPUs) are added to the final layer (Fig 10, 1002, 1004) where Akida does its learning, presumably to incorporate newly learned features. The ALUs of Figure 1 would be involved in the step of "performing a learning function ... by performing a synaptic weight value variation ...", bearing in mind that this is for multi-bit weights and activations.
Aha! Penny's dropped. Remember when 8-bit weights were announced?
This change may be to accommodate 8-bit weights/activations.
The ALUs may be more efficient at handling the multi-bit "spikes" than the original Akida configuration.
I found this Sanskrit engraving on Eric von Dunnycan's tomb:
https://doc.brainchipinc.com/_modules/akida_models/imagenet/model_mobilenet.html
...
weight_quantization (int, optional): sets all weights in the model to have a particular quantization bitwidth except for the weights in the first layer.
Defaults to 0.
* '0' implements floating point 32-bit weights.
* '2' through '8' implements n-bit weights where n is from 2-8 bits.
activ_quantization (int, optional): sets all activations in the model to have a particular activation quantization bitwidth.
Defaults to 0.
...
input_scaling (tuple, optional): scale factor and offset to apply to
inputs. Defaults to (128, -1). Note that following Akida convention, the scale factor is an integer used as a divider.

If I recall correctly, it is only the weights that are 8-bit, and only for the purpose of compatibility with 3rd party model libraries.
If there are 8-bit weights and 4-bit activations, an 8*4 matrix would be used.

IPR Silicone IP Ltd, has anyone come across useful information? I was curious if IPR resided in a tech precinct.
After working at ARM Mauro Diamant started IPro Silicon while simultaneously working for Tiempo, Signature IP, and SiFive all of which are listed as IP vendor partners.
I feel I am missing something....
Update: I did come across an earnings guide for $5 million. Currency was not listed.

You thinking a potential tie in with someone in particular
Do we know where nViso gets their MCUs?Hi D
You thinking a potential tie in with someone in particular
Akida 1500 could work with MCUs. All that is needed is sufficient processing power and memory to enable configuration of Akida and to handle the output from Akida.
We know Renesas has a licence for 2 nodes (8 NPUs), but I don't know how many nodes are required for nViso's functions like face recognition.
nViso is a BrainChip partner, so it may not need a licence:
BrainChip and NVISO are targeting battery-powered applications in robotics and mobility devices addressing the need for high levels of AI performance in ultra low power environments. Implementing NVISO’s AI solutions with BrainChip’s Akida drive next generation solutions.
This is another signpost to Akida:
NVISO NEURO MODELS™

Recent Indian article on MBRDI in India.
Neuromorphic and ChatGPT anyone?
Couple of excerpts.

Mercedes-Benz Research and Development India (MBRDI) recognises the pivotal role of innovation in promoting a healthy work culture. “One aspect that sets us apart is our work culture and emphasis on employee well-being. As the largest research and development centre of Mercedes-Benz outside of Germany, with a growing workforce, we have established ourselves as a powerhouse for delivering cutting-edge technology and innovation. Our primary focus is to drive the future of sustainable mobility, ensuring high quality, safety and innovation. Our commitment to innovation extends beyond technology and is reflected in our progressive work culture,” points out Mahesh Medhekar, vice president-human resources, Mercedes-Benz Research and Development India.
Innovation learning: The company focuses on innovation learning for its employees. Recently, it hosted a seminar on biomimicry — a field that combines generative AI and neuromorphic computing to emulate the human brain’s behaviour. This cutting-edge science allows MBRDI to enhance the capabilities of its vehicles, enabling them to understand and respond to the driver’s behaviour, ensuring safety and comfort. “Innovation learning encompasses various aspects, including deep learning, software patterns and techniques such as design thinking, all aimed at fostering innovation within our organisation. These practices serve as key pillars in our pursuit of continuous innovation,” enunciates Medhekar.
