Hi Bravo,

It looks like, back in 2020, Nintendo thought NNs were software, which was fair enuf at the time I spose.

This is the Nintendo patent:

US11494875B2 Systems and methods for machine learned image conversion 20200325


View attachment 79841

[0047] … As well, while the neural network 112 is shown as being part of a video game application program 108 , it may be separately provided. For example, it may be part of an operating system service or the like that modifies or upconverts images as they are being output by a video game application program.

So they have had 5 years to catch up.

The odd thing is that their most recent patent to reference NNs that I found dates from 2021:

US2023019874A1 SYSTEMS AND METHODS OF NEURAL NETWORK TRAINING 20210712

... and it's still software.
So software which can run off traditional hardware albeit lower performance, and higher power use than AKIDA.
Still a chance???? I am not sure.

I look on the positive that Dio didn't bring out the Ogre 😄 and ive had a post it note on my desk for about 4 years now on Nintendo switch 2 tba so no ogre and 🙏 and bravo's neural network diagram but especially no ogre from Dio I remain in good vibes , bring on April 2

I am hoping. Megachip would no doubt put a good word in for us given they spent a heap on their licence and development timeframes look thereabout.
The irony or upside of the huge engagement to revenue cycle is that it is a barrier to competition.
So, if you can hang on long enough, the rewards will come in spades.
That is one of the reasons Sean can say that when you get a client, you have them for 20 years.
Tata, for example, has been playing with AKIDA1000 since 2019. 2025, hopefully, a big deal, then revenue to follow.
We are getting some momentum with clients now, and this should continue.
The other issue was raised by Tony V at the last AGM .
This industry likes to dig its own moat/barrier.
As Tony V said, no one will lose their job choosing IBM.
It's extremely hard to pry multi-million $ contracts from NVIDIA.
BRN value is its growing patent portfolio, its growing eco system, and the validation it's receiving from clients, some of which are huge and a privilege to be associated with.
IMO, we are closing in on some good deals from which revenue will follow.

The Arquimea deal for detecting distressed swimmers via drones could easily be the start of something huge.
They also produce defence products.
There could be a huge market for affordable cost guard offshore management tracking who is in waters they should not be in.
Pretty much anything that needs monitoring.

Well @Bravo only needs another 20 ogres to win the steak knives, so they are being strictly rationed.

PS: Most of the other contenders are now on ignore.

Hi Fellow brners looks like the Arquimea info will be back on the Brainchip website shortly as I received a response back after making the enquiry as to why it was removed - here is response

“We removed the banner pointing to the page temporarily for Prophesee to provide approval on their branding (logo) use. “

So that's good news! Happy Friday and may you all have a super Weekend!

Boomity boom boom!
Not a single search result for Akida or Brainchip on Arquimea website ☹️

Another week nearer to our next quarterly release and soon to be AGM and yet no decent news apart from something disclosed maybe sooner than the board anticipated about Prophesee which has now been removed from our website. Let’s just hope this wasn’t something the board wanted to release as a price sensitive announcement before the next AGM as I will and expect everyone will be extremely pissed off about this and management will deserve to lose there jobs.
You don’t sound better recently 😂😂

(Full disclosure: Achtung, Achtung! Entirely HI-generated content!)

Here we go: The humongous MAGAchips reveal we’ve all been waiting for!!!
😍🚀💥🥂🍾🎉🤑

INCREDIBLE!!!
Whoever the genius is that designed this innocently looking bag of chips (!!! 🤫) as a sumptuous smorgasbord of allusions for the 1000 eyes to feast on, he/she/they even took the trouble to hide the letters of Hasselhoff’s first name in MADE WITH AVOCADO OIL!!! Our founder PVDM and The Hoff literally side by side! Wow, what an awesome white swan flying in from left field!

And that’s not all!!! Believe it or not, there are two more names cleverly hidden in that phrase marked in green (the colour of hope, hint hint!), and only genuine shareholders can spot them, as they are SO SO masterfully hidden, signifying their bearers’ deep involvement in that NDealA. So deep, in alternative fact, that if you drilled a hole, you’d come right out on the other side of the globe - if you didn’t get stuck and roasted in the red centre’s hot sauce, that is, which I believe is technically called MAGA.

By successfully rearranging those glorious letters, you will also lift the wrinkled veil of secrecy* (💯% paying homage to our famous tablecloth!!!) around why our BRN management is considering redomiciling to the US!
*By at least half a mile, presumably even half an inch!!!

One of those two names happens to be the bestest and most majestic of names (etymologically derived from the Proto-Celtic *Dumno-ualos meaning “world-ruler”, which aligns just perfectly with Akida’s projected ubiquitousness, woohoo 🥳 !!!) and belongs to a man of conviction, who must have orchestrated this magnificent coup, the most beautiful deal ever done in the history of mankind (and I reckon even the Universe; well, maybe except for that sabacc card game in Star Wars, which won Han Solo the Millennium Falcon).

An electrifyingly YUGE deal, quite frankly, as it appears to also involve his (present) First Buddy who - trust my sublime sleuthing skills! - seems to have some sort of connection to Mars Inc. - yup, that chocolate bar factory! Sweet as! (In case you just guessed Charlie as the second name I asked you to decipher, you’re way off…DYOR!)

This monster of a deal that even Godzilla would be terrified of, will result in BILLIONS or even MILLIONS 💵 💵 💵 in revenue, faster than you can spell supercalifragilisticexpialidocious, unless of course some crooked carmaker loser from the future 55th state of America will phenomenally rig this selection. But let’s not jinx it and instead envision unpresidented success!!! 🚀🚀🚀 Great, so great! You’ll find out!

(P.S.: In case you are still frantically looking for that missing letter N somewhere in the avocado oil - chill, baby, chill! Rest assured that a tremendous executive order will be signed soon, dictating erm declaring that from now on, when required, an N may be replaced by an M at your convenience. By pure coincidence, it also makes Canada sound more like Kamala and Greenland like Dreamland).

I just has a quick look at their sites Frangipani, but Latent A.I. seem to be more of a development enabler, like Edge Impulse?..

Latent - (of a quality or state) existing but not yet developed or manifest; hidden or concealed.


As is Carahsoft?..

My interpretation is that this acquisition will help support Arm's ambitions to develop it's own custom chips, which might in turn provide more of an incentive for Arm to integrate BrainChip's Akida neuromorphic processor to deliver advanced AI capabilities at the edge.

“PanocularAI Shows That There’s Another Way

The start-up from Darmstadt has developed a system that runs AI models directly on edge devices—small, energy-efficient devices such as drones, autonomous vehicles, or robots. With PanocularAI’s technology, these devices can independently analyze their surroundings and respond to changes—without relying on external servers.

“Our AI doesn’t just interpret images; it understands context,” explains Dr. Arya Mazaheri. “With our technology, a robot can recognize whether the person in front of it is a construction worker wearing a helmet or someone trespassing in a restricted area.”

An AI That Runs on Edge Devices

PanocularAI is developing an efficient vision solution for the next generation of autonomous systems.

This environmental perception happens in real time with minimal computational effort—a technological breakthrough that could revolutionize many industries. Lower energy consumption, higher speed, and increased security—since no data needs to be sent to external servers—are the key advantages of this innovation.”

I'm Spartacus!
It's funny, Boeing doesn't have a real "military" feel to me, more of a passenger jet thing..

Whereas "Lockheed" Martin, has an obvious pedigree.

Makes more sense, when you know that McDonnell Douglas, merged into Boeing, in 1997..
For nearly a century, Boeing has produced many of the most advanced combat aircraft for military customers around the globe including the P-51 Mustang, F-4 Phantom, F-15 Eagle, F/A-18 Hornet and EA-18G Growler, among others.

They made their first fighter aircraft in 1924.

RAAF recently working with them to develop the ghost bat attritable UAS designed to fly autonomously or in concert with current Fighter aircraft such as our Super Hornets and Poseidon maritime patrollers.

and Trump has just given the green light for this 6th Gen. Air dominance fighter designed to work with packs of drones and with new stealth tech.

Poor research Hopalong..
I suggest you dig a little deeper..

You might find the name "McDonnell Douglas" pops up more than you'ld like in what you seem to have found Boeing claiming as "their" history..

I didn't say Boeing didn't have "any" military history, by the way..


P-51 Mustang made by NAA, bought out by Boeing 1996.

F-4 Phantom, F-15 Eagle, F/A-18 Hornet, all made by McDonnell Douglas, which as I said, was bought out by Boeing in 1997.

The EA-18G Growler; is a version of the Super Hornet (see Hornet above).

"McDonnell Aircraft later merged with the Douglas Aircraft Company to form McDonnell Douglas in 1967"

So "McDonnell Douglas" has probably done a bit of the same, of what Boeing is doing now..
