BRN Discussion Ongoing

Oculi is a business name of Fris Inc.

Their patent is derived from a Johns Hopkins Uni patent, to the extent that they have a common identical drawing and they have a common inventor in Charbel Rizk, so this is probably a spin-off from Johns Hopkins.

The Fris patent uses ALUs, and does not mention NNs.

It is a DVS with processing integrated with each pixel, so it is similar to Prophesee in that respect.

Oculi, a spinout of Johns Hopkins University, is developing smart programmable vision sensors based on the company’s Real-Time Vision Intelligence developed by founder and CEO Charbel Rizk at Johns Hopkins. The OCULI SPU (Sensing and Processing Unit) is an integrated sensing and processing module designed to mimic the human eye in selectively delivering information to make computer vision faster and more efficient.

The CES is just a follow-up and the North America premiere.

Looking for a BrainChip + Oculi reveal at some point. Might be one to watch CES 2024

Oculi, developer of a smart, programmable vision sensor, took home $1 million in follow-on funding and Company of the Year honors as the winner of Luminate’s sixth cohort.

In this presentation, Anil Mankar mentions that they are working directly with Prophesee and Oculi.
41.50 minute mark in the Q&A section.
There has been in the past a little confusion over which Oculi Anil was referring to, given the way he pronounces the name. However in my mind there is little doubt when you see that Prophesee and Oculi are trying to save the same problem, in different ways.



In this video, at the Luminate award night where Oculi are announced the winner and awarded the $1 million dollar prize, the lady announcing the winner pronounces " Oculi " in exactly the same way Anil pronounces the name in the previous video.

GF Supports Next-gen Vision and Computing Technologies​

GF is also championing the computing sector, namely with BrainChip's Akida neuromorphic chip built on 22 nm fully depleted silicon-on-insulator (FD-SOI) technology.

BrainChip is the world’s first company to develop ultra-low-power, event-based, neuromorphic AI IP to be used for always-on sensor applications. The AKD1500 chip was built on GF’s low-leakage FD SOI platform, promising an array of applications that don't overload the CPU.

Vision sensor specialist Oculi also recently announced a strategic partnership with GF, commissioning the foundry to manufacture its single-chip, intelligent software-defined vision sensor. The new sensor will be based on GF’s 55LPx, a platform that supports RF, ultra-low power, embedded NVM, and high-voltage BCDLite (a process technology).

Smart vision startup Oculi turns to GF for next chips​

Smart vision startup Oculi turns to GF for next chips

Oculi, a fabless company seeking to add intelligence to image sensors at the pixel level, has partnered with chipmaker GlobalFoundries Inc.

www.eenewseurope.com

Oculi’s SPU chips are based on integrating both per-pixel discrimination, in multiple ways, and the option to capture full-frame images. An Oculi pixel includes digital processing including logic and memory alongside the pixel. The image sensor is more capable than event-based image sensors that have gained recognition in recent years (see Prophesee raises €50 million from China, Saudi Arabia).

USPTO has cited a handfull of prior patents against the Fris application, including a couple of Sony patent documents.

This may raise the possibility that Fris (Oculi) infringes a Sony patent.

... and they expect it will be capable of running on a single Tesla powerwall.

Early testing, of the required backpack, has been met with approval, so don't discount it yet..

PROJECT DIGINEURON: CHIPS MODELED ON THE HUMAN BRAIN​

“We are pleased that the neural network blocks implemented on the chip have already been successfully used in an application, namely in the cooperative FFG project Firesat (Artificial Intelligence on Earth Observation Satellites), on which SAL worked together with Ororatech GmbH and Joanneum Research. “An image taken by a satellite was analyzed by an AI to detect fire on the earth’s surface,” says Pedro Julian.

Supposing the application is thwarted, does that leave Oculi dead in the water?

Or just needing to licence their tech from Sony?

Which would then be completely at Sony's discretion..

Hi DB,

There are 2 distinct issues:

1. Invalidation of Oculi's patent claims by prior publication: Whether the Oculi patent claims something which is inventive over and above what is disclosed in the cited patents, or, to put it another way, whether all the features of the Oculi patent claims are disclosed in the prior documents; and

2. Patent infringement: Whether the Oculi NN powered pixel array uses all the features of one of the claims of the cited patents.

Just because a patent is prior published by an earlier patent document does not automatically make it an infringement of the earlier patent.

Oculi do not need to have a patent to make their pixel array. However, they would not be able to prevent others from copying their product.

Oculi will have problems if 2 prevails, in which case, the patent owner could stop Oculi from making their pixel array. The alternative is, as you say, at the patentee's discretion as to whether to grant Oculi a licence.

My opinion with PVDM Stepping back a touch tells me 24 will be a blast, brainchip without him the company is nothing, his stepping back because things are in place, SEAN TO PETER hey Pete take a step back piano piano and enjoy Brainchip is about to take this world on ,

Software updates of the MB.OS, not a change of the hardware inbetween 3 months.
As CES is coming soon, we will just wait and see.

[Pom down under]

Morning Pom down under,

Presume you are referring to shorters?

No is the short answer , but thay have certainly made a monza.

To keep it simple , you will have noticed that the short position has only averaged say 5% Of the floated average of brn shares.

Sooooo.....if thay had all started / taken their shorts out at the peak of our market cap & simply held to pressent , (which thay have not ) these scum dwelling creatures would have captured say 5% Of the market capitol which brn once was, then subtract borrowing fees and then the final buyback price of said shares.

Amazing the damage devients can create by playing with such a small % of shares.

The above example is extremely simplified , as thay open and close positions at will, so gross return would also diminish.

Yet another way some of this lost market capitol at the peak could have been captured , albeit as a crystalised loss to carry foward , is to sell one's shares then purchase more at a lower price.
This technique can seriously grow one's portfolio , but you have to get the timing correct .




Regards,
Esq.

So at 7% total amount of shares shorted out of 1.8b they have made 10.5 million $

You would think 2024 Brn will have a abundance of news coming thru, Tech always says 25 just to cover hos butt,

Yes

They have yet to describe the hardware implementation behind the virtual assistant; it would be great if they do that to any degree.

RISC-V hardware ecosystem gets strong industry support - Qualcomm joins with four other industry players to form Quintauris

Five semiconductor companies make a new RISC-V company.

www.tomshardware.com

"Qualcomm and four other significant semiconductor firms have officially joined forces to establish Quintauris, a company focused on developing "next-generation hardware" based on the RISC-V open-standard architecture (via Business Wire)."

"Qualcomm is just one of five partners involved in Quintauris, with the other four being Bosch, Infineon, Nordic Semiconductor, and NXP Semiconductors."

"According to its official website, Quintauris says its products will initially focus on the automotive industry and then later cater to mobile and Internet of Things (IoT) applications. The company is also focused on promoting standards for the RISC-V hardware-software ecosystem, and the implication appears to be that the launch of successful products developed by several big companies will help realize standardization."
