BRN Discussion Ongoing

[Therealcookiemonster]

Rob Telson spoke about this market and basically said that the issue for Brainchip was that power is not an issue yet to retailers. They are all connected to the grid and at this point despite some claiming green credentials are not chasing ways to reduce electricity consumption particularly not in relation to computers so adoption of AKIDA technology is some way off.

Incumbency is going to be an issue where the big players like Woolworths and Coles are concerned and I suspect it will require legislation requiring all to make energy savings that will open these currently locked doors.

As for watching what grabs the attention of male shoppers and tailoring there product offerings towards this could easily lead to some unexpected outcomes.

That aside handheld security devices that can detect stolen product under a customers jacket would be a market that a company like Lassen Peak powered by AKIDA might open up in the retail industry. Even a handheld product that a shelf stacker could carry up and down isles that detects wrongly located items moved from their correct position by customers would also possibly be a potential market.

My opinion only DYOR

I'm running a business in this exact space, and I can tell you, there are a lot more use-cases that can be performed in these stores to create value than being discussed in this forum (like brainchip, I can't talk about the details but I can say at this stage we are not working with brainchip).

While power advantages may not be the issue right now for retailers, the true challenge lies in the accurate detection of events, products, staff, customers and more.

Brainchip will add a lot of value when it comes to reducing/optimising the computational loads on the expensive computers that run this technology as well as improve the accuracy of detection and speed of training.

Don't mean to say I told you so, but the ASX and its manipulation continues. I did warn that shorters would attack WBT..... was nearly $9. Looks like BRN is holding here at low volume, the writing may be on the wall. Once they are forced to cover, we, we'll be celebrating in the streets.

For all the WBT holders, ......................... we"re feelin your pain atm,
Someone said recently the "short interest" has grown recently, ................. seems that way.
Sorry for the off topic post @dredbot, ............... but i know there is quite a few holders here at BRN

They officially joined the ASX300 on Monday. Welcome

Hi Steve, are you thinking that we are in the M85 already? Be great if we are, and it was a bit of a coincidence that Brainchip and Renesas announced the M85 at a similar time?

Yes, otherwise BRN would not have announced anything about M85 integration. Renesas looked wrapped with the end product. Looks like big party for the launch in June. Will be great if they have customers with products at the launch. Maybe Toshiba AI AC systems or LG AI washers?

Just my opinion on the rising competition in the mobile phone market .​

I’m not suggesting we ( BRN) have anything to do with the attachment below .
It’s just an example of new players in the Space who will claim a % of market share for those who simply want a half decent phone without having to spend 2K .

In relation to Apple & Samsung it’s my view that they are both under mounting pressure to better their products substantially.

I have a iPhone 13 which is an excellent phone , will Apple have me updating my phone in the next 3 years ? No chance “unless “ there’s greater improvement.

Example : Hey Brainchip Boy ; your EQXX has only 35 Km left of charge .

Hey Apple ; that’s a coincidence the BRN share price is $35

FREEYOND OFFICIALLY ENTERS MALAYSIA WITH TWO SMARTPHONES AND WEARABLES​

written by Warren March 21, 2023 1.9K views

FreeYond, a young Shenzhen based startup tech company, has officially entered the Malaysia today as its first global market outside its homeland, starting off with two entry-level smartphones and wearables, the company aims to make an impression with these value for money products.

Retailing at RM699, the FreeYond M5 sports a 6.52-inch HD+ IPS display that refreshes at 90Hz, while powered by a decent Unisoc T606 chipset paired with 8GB RAM and 128GB of storage, it happens to be one of the few phones within the same class to feature a triple camera system that comprises a 50MP wide, 8MP ultrawide and 2MP macro camera, while selfies are taken care by a front facing 8MP camera, a 5000mAh battery powers the phone with support for 18W fast charging.

For budget phone hunters, the FreeYond F9 is an Android 12 Go device that comes in two storage configurations of 2GB RAM+64GB storage and 3GB RAM+128GB storage, it is powered by a more entry Unisoc SC9863A chipset but features the same screen size as the M5, though it only refreshes at the standard 60Hz.
Unlike other similar priced phones, the FreeYond F9 comes with a dual camera setup that comprises a 13MP main and 2MP macro camera, selfies are managed by a 8MP front camera, a 5000mAh battery powers the phone but supports a slower 10W power output.
The FreeYond F9 starts at RM399 for the base storage model, the 3GB RAM+128GB storage model will cost RM499.

In terms of wearables, the company brought in the FreeYond Pods 1, which is a pair of RM99 wireless earbuds that sports features such as Bluetooth 5.3 connectivity, 12mm drivers, environmental noise cancelling and up to 30 hours of total listening time.
The FreeYond S1 smartwatch is also introduced alongside which features a 1.36″ HD AMOLED display with fitness tracking features, no pricing and availability has been announced.
FreeYond products can now be purchased at its official Shopee store here.

We only have 7 trading days to go to the end of this quarterly reporting period.

Yes but still a while until the quarterly is released.

We need some deals!

I’d say poor bastards but, you know.
They have had a good run and this is life on the ASX. I am not familiar enough with their product or company to comment specifically but hope for their sakes they have a management, crew and strategy like ours which will see us fly when the tide turns. We are already seeing much more engagement and professed confidence from Brainchip which will translate into revenue streams over time.
Just got to hang on till it eventuates.

 

[MDhere]

What?
You pinched it?

lol nah i scaped my pennies up caused the coin box cause i bought 2k more of brn

 

[MDhere]

Hey MD, does it have Akida inside of it or any artificial intelligence? Sorry guys and gals, just bored waiting for my very last top up... I hope

it was a penny purchase after my 2k order went thru hours earlier so timing was perfect

Hi @Steve10 , have you come across this before in your TI travels?

TDK, TI team on edge AI module with wireless mesh

TDK and TI have teamed up on an edge AI wireless module to detect anomalies in machinery and equipment for predictive maintenance

www.eenewseurope.com

TDK has teamed up with Texas Instruments on a compact, battery-powered wireless multi-sensor module that uses edge AI to detect anomalies in machinery and equipment.​

The TDK i3 Micro Module integrates the TI SimpleLink CC2652R7 wireless chip, an ARM Cortex-M4F multiprotocol 2.4-GHz wireless 32-bit microcontroller (MCU) for real-time monitoring. The module also integrates TDK’s IIM-42352 MEMS accelerometer and digital output temperature sensor, edge AI, and mesh network functionality into a single unit, facilitating data aggregation, integration, and processing.


The i3 Micro Module allows users to achieve sensing at most any desired position without physical constraints such as wiring by using a wireless mesh to connect up the modules in the network. This helps identify anomalies in machinery and equipment, enabling Condition-based Monitoring (CbM).

The accelerometer features digital-output X-, Y-, and Z-axis accelerometer with programmable full-scale range of ±2g, ±4g, ±8g, and ±16g, user-programmable interrupts, I3C℠ / I²C / SPI slave host interface, digital-output temperature sensor, an external clock input that supports highly accurate clock input from 31 kHz to 50 kHz, and 20,000g shock tolerance.

Monitoring through real-time visualized empirical equipment data instead of relying on manpower and scheduled maintenance contributes to a a predictive maintenance system to minimize production downtime.


“As more electronics and automation are being implemented in factories and buildings, companies are seeking more efficient ways to anticipate and manage equipment needs, avoiding expensive downtime,” said Nick Smith, product marketing manager at Texas Instruments.

“This collaboration between TI and TDK will bring more technology into factories and increase their efficiency through simpler and more powerful sensing and real-time communication. TI’s connectivity technology is backed by over 20 years of experience to help drive innovations such as these modules.”

“TDK’s i3 Micro Module facilitates numerous benefits to the manufacturing floor to enable digital transformation and an enhanced smart factory environment,” stated Christian Hoffman, General Manager, Corporate Marketing Group at TDK. “The module simplifies the deployment and sensor data gathering process giving users the bandwidth to focus on effective condition based monitoring and predictive maintenance initiatives.”

The i3 Micro Module is expected to be available through most global distribution partners by the fourth quarter of 2023.

The Texas Instruments SimpleLink MCU chips have an advanced sensing feature but not sure how they are doing it.

CC2652R7 SimpleLink™ Arm® Cortex®-M4F Multiprotocol 2.4 GHz Wireless MCU​

Texas Instruments' microcontroller (MCU) is optimized for low-power wireless communication and advanced sensing​

https://www.digikey.com/en/product-highlight/t/texas-instruments/cc2652r7-simplelink-arm-cortex-m4f-multiprotocol-wireless-mcu

It's a great product by TDK. No need for any wires for installation.

TDK is using their MEMS accelerometer in the new product. Have seen other companies with similar MEMS accelerometer & IMU applications.

The TDK MEMS accelerometer has some sensing:

IIM-42352​

Smart Industrial Motion from TDK InvenSense​

Compact, Low power 3‐axis Industrial Accelerometer with support for 4Khz vibration sensing​

Only costs USD $10.06 ea or $4.94 ea for 1,000+ volume. It's one part of the package with TI's SimpleLink being the other part.

https://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/TDK-InvenSense/IIM-42352?qs=CiayqK2gdcIoWCatE9jFlg%3D%3D&utm_source=netcomponents&utm_medium=aggregator&utm_campaign=IIM-42352&utm_content=TDK

Target Markets​

• Vibration measurement
• Predictive maintenance
• Tilt sensing
• Platform stabilization
• Robotics

So looks like the sensing is within the TDK IIM-42352 accelerometer & not in TI SimpleLink MCU.

What's cooking good-lookings?

I just came across this article from PYMNTS published a couple of days ago. It remiinded me of a post someone made recently from someone in the payments/commerce world liking, nay, LURVING BrainChip on LinkedIn.

But that is not the only important point. The most important point is that it mentions that Mercedes pay CEO Nico Kersten noted that in-vehicle commerce could be set in motion via the “Hey, Mercedes” assistant feature.

The article also refers to the role AI will play in the car becoming the centrepiece in the new mobile commerce world and that there has to be some element of intelligence built into it all for the dialogue, interactions and transactions to work seamlessly.

Mobile commerce. I like it.

Excuse my lack of understanding which no doubt is evident with this question. Are we in the M85 or highly compatible with it ? Up until now I was of the view that it was the latter but would obviously prefer the former.

 

[Xray1]

Agreed .... but this is the last 4C before the upcoming AGM in May which will be on the minds of many shareholders and attendee's at the AGM ............ I would also think, that Sean H would find that it is to his benefit/advantage to have something positive to show s/holders by way of an increasing revenue cash flow and in turn curb some potentially negative sentiment that most likely will be brought up from some s/holders at the AGM.

Looks like institutions have been accumulating all this time that the SP has been sliding

Of course they have... smart money
It's a bloody good product with loads of potential and they see the future ....
Do as the institutions do. And DYOR within your risk profile....

 

[wasMADX]

Could be because our clear profit margin on our I P is approximately 97 percent and we don’t have to worry about the manufacturing.

On another note I checked our current MC in the good ol’yankee $ dollar and we are a pissant 525,000,000 US. Sooo…looks great for a run probably sooner rather than later

It is absolutely the case that licensing means no worries, no getting hands dirty and almost pure profit, but I feel there's an element of uncertainty amongst many device producers holding us back. I put it forward as a suggestion from SP frustration, but we know Sean H. has his patient plan.

How about speeding things up with a special incentive, one-time offer to ONLY one manufacturer who has a device close to marketable, like "we love your device idea and we'd like to see it out there, so we will suspend our license fee (or whatever), and only expect payment of $$ per unit actually sold."

The clock is ticking for me and I want to go out as the richest man in our street.

On a positive note, at least our accounting bill will be low when preparing the quarterly if our receipts are non-existent
