BRN Discussion Ongoing

Not sure if anyone noticed, but there was a line wipe of well over 2 million shares at 20 cents, around Midday today.

That's over 400k, so not chump change.

A big, kind of "impatient" purchase, on a relatively quiet day..

Maybe these happen as regular as big dumps, I don't watch often or closely enough, but it's clear this would move hard, on Good News.

Hi Bravo,

I'm channeling the Ogre,

Certainly Akida could be used to great advantage in the STM ToF wake detector, just as our partnership with HaiLa shows that HaiLa can also benefit from Akida.

However, the purposes for which each is intended is quite distinct, as is the underlying technology.

STM comprises an IR transmitter and IR detector to measure reflected IR pulses and a ToF det4ector to measure the time of reception relative to transmission. The example given in their patent is to detect whether a person is approaching a computer so as to provide a wake signal.

HaiLa on the other hand uses a modified WiFi receiver and a specialized RFID tag which modifies and retransmits the received WiFi to detect the presence of the tag in the "ambient" WiFi signal field by measuring the difference in ToF of the direct and retransmitted modified WiFi.

So, while both technologies could be used side-by-side, there does not seem to me to be any particulay synergy in combining them. But I could be wrong - there's always a first time ...

Hi Diogenese,

I’m probably the last person who should be trusted with anything remotely technical anyway. But here’s the logic I was rolling with:

• The STM32U0 microcontroller is featured in HaiLa’s EVAL2000 dev kit.
• That said, Akida doesn’t require the STM32U0 specifically because Akida can operate within HaiLa’s architecture without being tied to that particular MCU.
• However, what I was imagining is if you embedded Akida IP directly into an STM32-series MCU, and then paired that with HaiLa’s ultra-low-power Wi-Fi backscatter chip, you might potentially be able to create a single low-power module that combines:
  • Presence detection (via ToF)
  • Location awareness (via HaiLa’s Wi-Fi)
  • Gesture or motion inference (via Akida)

A kind of integrated sensor fusion platform combining ultra-low power.

I thought the flexibility of such a combo could be a good idea. Rather than being locked into a niche area, this could potentially be scaled across various markets, giving STMicro a more versatile product and helping justify the $$$ of integrating the whole stack.

Not sure if that’s technically viable, or even commercially realistic.

Cecilia Pisano from Nurjana Technologies has repeatedly liked BrainChip posts on LinkedIn, and hence her Sardinia-based company has been mentioned by several forum members as potentially playing with Akida:
