BRN Discussion Ongoing

[DK6161]

Some big buys ... nearly 5mill shares traded in the first 10 mins huge order @ 10:00:09


.. hoping for some kind of decent recovery today!? chin up Chippers

Lets face it. We are a long way from a decent recovery.
Declined of nearly 80% in value since hitting a peak of A$2.13 in Jan, 2022
Stock down 20.8% this year.

I am now thinking revising my exit price.
Not advice.

Wonder if we're involved in this in some way? Better go do some digging.

February 15, 2023 Intuitive machine control using speech recognition​

Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Digital Media Technology IDMT in Oldenburg have developed a speech recognition solution for use in industrial manufacturing.


The system works reliably even in noisy environments and can be flexibly adapted to the user's needs. Employees use intuitive voice commands on the factory floor, allowing them to keep both hands free and work much more efficiently. The Hannover Messe Preview on February 15, 2023, will provide a first look at the research project, including a hands-on demonstration.
The practice of using voice-controlled machines in manufacturing was previously considered prone to errors, and as a result, it was hardly ever adopted. Now, Fraunhofer IDMT in Oldenburg has developed a solution that allows machines to be reliably controlled using voice commands.
Even on a noisy factory floor, the speech recognition system functions reliably. Employees speak into a wireless headset or a stationary microphone—and in the future, they could use smart hearable technology, which the institute branch for Hearing, Speech and Audio Technology HSA is also working to develop. Loud ambient noise is almost entirely tuned out using a combination of directional microphones and an effective noise-canceling system.

Less walking—and free hands​

Marvin Norda, the project manager for Voice Controlled Production at Fraunhofer IDMT, says, "For the first time, our technology is enabling people to control machines in manufacturing using voice commands in a reliable, intuitive way. For manufacturing companies, this means increased efficiency and lower costs."
The technology also has advantages for employees, as contactless machine operation is safe and hygienic for people. When employees are controlling multiple machines, it reduces how far they need to walk—they can use a mobile device to issue voice commands to the equipment from a distance.
They have both hands free, allowing them to place a workpiece in position in the work area while giving the robot an instruction such as "lower the arm" or "grip the workpiece" at the same time.
Controlling a machine through voice commands is more efficient than using a control panel or touch panel—clicking through nested menu structures is a cumbersome and error-prone process, whereas direct voice commands involve simple instructions.
"The speech recognition technology can handle hundreds of individual commands depending on the application and is not limited to a particular voice. New or modified commands can be quickly added and trained into the system," adds Mr. Norda.
The researchers from Oldenburg can draw on many years of experience and expertise in researching and developing audio technologies and speech recognition software—something that also benefits the more than 50 member companies of AiP (Audiotechnologie für die intelligente Produktion, audio technology for intelligent production), an industrial working group founded by Fraunhofer IDMT in Oldenburg.
"We are developing adaptable system solutions for industry customers. The voice control system can be configured to meet their individual needs and quickly put into operation," says Mr. Norda. The speech recognition software can be integrated in the cloud or the company server, depending on the company's requirements. It is also possible to incorporate a mini PC or even integrate the system into a machine's programmable logic controller (PLC) without any issues.
The solution, which is sponsored by the Ministry of Science and Culture of Lower Saxony and the Volkswagen Foundation, is now ready for the market and is already being tested by some industry customers. Experts from Fraunhofer IDMT will provide a first look into the project to a specialist audience at the Hannover Messe Preview on February 15, 2023. At the Hannover Messe from April 17–21, 2023, visitors will be able to experience the technology and explore its possibilities live at the Fraunhofer booth in Hall 16, booth A12. Demonstrations will take place using a voice-controlled milling machine.

Buy high and sell low:

[Deena]

And the "floor price set by BRN "?

BRN does not set the floor price until after the end of the averaging period.

Well, I just excavated up some previous research from which I concluded that Fraunhofer definitely know about us and they're very interested in neuromorphic hardware to boot!

#7,611
#7,623

 

[Deleted member 118]

Oh it was definitely luck, or divine intervention..

I'm one of those buy and the price goes down, sell and the price goes up investors

Sometimes, I think I'm the one holding the Company and the share price down

I’m still waiting to use my super

"Decent recovery" as in heading back towards the 60's not down to the 40's!! Peak was @$2.34 and that was an announcement by MB Not us!! so if MB hadn't of made that statement our 'high' probably wouldn't of been anywhere near that figure!! maybe $1.20ish? .... I personally sold a small parcel @ $2.30 so covered my initial investment $$$$ so times like this one are a very bitter pill to swallow but for me slightly easier to deal with knowing I have covered my ass so to speak.
Anyway I'm hoping that now "That trading day" is out of the way!!! We will travel onwards and upwards

Good luck all

Anyone interested in having a 55 cent hot tub party because I just turned the hot water on?

Hi Steve10,

LDA were not holding any shares prior to the 10/1/23.

Ok. There was a post yesterday with all institutional holders indicating LDA had 10M. Must not be updated.

Hi @Deena

to quote the announcement;
The issue price for the capital call shares will be 91.5% of the higher of the average daily VWAP of shares over the pricing period and the
"minimum price notified to LDA Capital by the company"

Im with @TECH on this as being "merky" , ................. maybe you could explain why "the company" would have to notify LDN of the minimum price unless they are the ones setting it?

Cheers

Have we received confirmation yet whether Akida 1500 has LSTM and transformers as per the original roadmap? If so, I wonder if Cerence has been tinkering around with the prototype? An extract from this article I was reading states how transformers are literally the bees-knees when it comes to natural language processing. Maybe AKIDA 1500 will be timed to coincide with "Cerence Immersive Companion" which is going to be rolled out in FY23/24.

Does this mean that BRN could cancel the process by setting a higher number than LDA would want to accept?


Also 5.7M shorts taken out yesterday on top of the 1.8M the day before. Heavy fire really. one way or the other something is going to happen with such a high amount of borrowed shares.

 

[Mugen74]

Why would Brn make public the minimum price they notified they would accept to LDA?
Wouldnt that tip off the nefarious ones?

 

[Bravo]

How about, moving forward, we only let companies who want our technology sign a half of an NDA. So the half that's very hush-hush that we can't talk about is their product and what it does, etc, but the other half, the one that we CAN talk about is that we're actually working with them on SOMETHING. I might ring Sean and discuss this with him.

But not just now because I have a headache from thinking too much.

Good Luck

You need to follow things up, every step of the way.

The people I dealt with were professional, but the systems they have to work with, leave much to be desired..

I'd say pretty much all the problems I encountered were system generated.

I'll give one Golden example.

In the process of trying to set up the SMSF trading account, they told me that they couldn't continue, because the other Trustee had 3 banking profiles..

We had to go in to a branch, to consolidate them ..

Again, don't trust that things are moving along smoothly, because they most probably aren't..

So many things these days, make me question..

Is it really the year 2023 ..
