Hi Tech,
Great find!
One exciting thing is the priority date of 20220429, just 18 months ago, indicating a potential ongoing relationship. After all, who does CNN2SNN better than BRN?
... and a couple of the inventors are familiar faces ...

Conventional gesture detection approaches demand large memory and computation power to run efficiently, thus limiting their use in power and memory constrained edge devices. Present application/disclosure provides a Spiking Neural Network based system which is a robust low power edge compatible ultrasound-based gesture detection system. The system uses a plurality of speakers and microphones that mimics a Multi Input Multi Output (MIMO) setup thus providing requisite diversity to effectively address fading. The system also makes use of distinctive Channel Impulse Response (CIR) estimated by imposing sparsity prior for robust gesture detection. A multi-layer Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) has been trained on these distinctive CIR images and the trained CNN model is converted into an equivalent Spiking Neural Network (SNN) via an ANN (Artificial Neural Network)-to-SNN conversion mechanism. The SNN is further configured to detect/classify gestures performed by users.
[0089] The active power consumption of a neuromorphic hardware is mainly contributed by the spiking network's total number of synaptic operations (SOP). Following (7) and the method mentioned in Sorbaro et al. (e.g., refer “Martino Sorbaro, Qian Liu, Massimo Bortone, and Sadique Sheik, “Optimizing the energy consumption of spiking neural networks for neuromorphic applications,” Frontiers in Neuroscience, vol. 14, pp. 662, 2020.”), total number of synaptic operation for the SNN of the system 100 is found to be ˜35M while that for the CNN is ˜95M (considering matrix multiplication only). This converted SNN can be implemented on neuromorphic platforms such as Brainchip Akida (e.g., refer “Brainchip unveils the akidatm development environment,” https://www.brainchipinc.com/news-m...chip-unveils-the-akida-developmentenvironment, 2019″), Intel® Loihi (e.g., refer “Mike Davies. et. al, “Advancing neuromorphic computing with loihi: A survey of results and outlook,” Proceedings of the IEEE, vol. 109, no. 5, pp. 911-934, 2021.”), etc. to achieve further power benefit (˜100×).
The CEO Has stated our engagement with customers is at a record high, so where got them in our shop ,engagement is there however it's whether they put cash in the till or walk outI don't know do we ? Until the company confirm 1 way or another it's speculation
Esq, .................... apparently NASA & Space-X are currently doing another mission to apologise to the Aliens for polluting the atomosphere.Morning Chippers,
Just watching the news....
Elon Musk ,
-2nd launch test of of Space X Super Heavey StarShip Rocket.
-33 Raptor Engine's. = big mobs of lift.
-stands roughly 397 feet tall.
- launched from Boca Chica, Texas.
- reached an altitude of 64 km before, unfortunately self terminating, due to a as yet unknown fault.
- payload 150 ton's. Apparently expandable up to 200 plus ton's.
NASA wish to utilise this chariot for things like the ISS ( Intentional Space Station ) & Moon to Mars mission taking large pieces of infrastructure into space.
* just to put this payload into something quantifiable to the average Australian...
150 ton's = 150,000 kg.
1x standard Coopers Pale Ale , 4.5% ALC/VOL, 375ml, glass bottle weighs roughly 600 grams.
Soooooo.
Some quick maths ...
150,000kg
÷ 0.600
= 250,000 bottles ( excluding cardboard box )
= 10,416 case's of beer or 93,750 litres.
Also ... if thay bought the empty bottles back to Earth , South Australia, thay could also collect $0.10 AU per bottle ...= $25,000.00 at local bottle recyclers.
.
Woo Hoooo.
Hope we are all having a tops weekend.
Regards,
Esq.
Exactly we are boxed in with Arm "integrated" This is exactly why this slide shows the way it is! Drink on me @Frangipani for making me dance all weekend. I think I will copy and frame this slide and place into my Brainchip box of treasures.My interpretation of this is that all these companies essentially rely on the ARM/BRAINCHIP ip... ubiquitous baby..

Morning Chippers,
Poised ..... & a little exited ....
ASX TRADING PLATFORM.
CHESS REPLACEMENT.
TATA CONSULTANCY SERVICES wins contract.
$105,000,000.00 to $125,000,000.00
ACCENTURE , to support the project delivery & integration.
* I do belive Chip has dealings with these two Companies.
Wooooo Hooooo.
Well maybe. Not a certainty but would , could be a bloody good dot, if we are included amoungst it.
CRANK IT , I have.
Regards,
Esq
Ok I just have to share this as we are all excited about arm brainchip and M85 and here is our renesas man. I love the passion on this guy and the interviewer has no clue what renesas is trying to express! Love it when he says its not just the first, its the first on earth!!! almost says universe but he doesn't quite know if there is anything else out there in the universe lol and interview says do u think its the best in this conference he says OF COUSRE!
Love this renesas guy! Well done Renesas!

How do you know that the helium technology doesn't contain the AKIDA IP?Please note that no Brainchip Akida is used there, but Arm's Helium !
"Renesas Electronics Corporation presents the first live demonstrations of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) implementations on an MCU based on the Arm Cortex-M85 processor. The demos show the performance uplift in AI/ML applications made possible by the new Cortex-M85 core and Arm's Helium technology."
Hi Schnitzy,
As per previous post, Renesas is launching the first chip based on the new 22nm CMOS process in Q4 2023.
So, since we are in Q4 right now it can't be too long before we see the launch.
In December 2022 Sailesh Chickpea (I've forgotten how to spell his surname, sorry) from Renesas said “Our next step is to use more advanced technology nodes to push microcontrollers into the gigahertz regime and that's where they overlap with microprocessors. The way I see it is that what matters most is the performance of the system.
“Now you have accelerators to drive AI with neural processing units rather than a dual-core processor. We are working with a third party to put a processor into production in December on a 22nm CMOS process,” Chittipeddi said.
Brainchip and Renesas signed an agreement in December 2020 to implement spiking neural network technology. The tools are vital for this new field. “The partner gives us the training tools we need,” he said.
Also, in the previous article I posted it says that "Renesas will combine the new 22-nm MCUs with numerous compatible devices from its portfolio to offer a wide array of Winning Combinations".
So, as @chapman89 once famously said "Now can everybody just hold their horses and understand that we are all going to be rich".

You're a legend @Bravo and thanks to @chapman89 too...Hi Labsy,
Thanks to @chapman89 for emailing Rob Telson to enquire exactly what this slide represents! Here's what Rob had to say about the slide.
