  15. MicroTransponder Summary MicroTransponder Inc. is a medical device company with intellectual property that enables a unique neurostimulation system for the treatment of neurological disease Confidential

  16. Artificial Intelligence Program trading AI • In 2006 at the London Stock Exchange, over 40% of all orders were entered by algo traders, with 60% predicted for 2007 • Half of all financial transactions in the world and 80% in the USA. • $30 billion per year in R&D Confidential

  17. Google Ambitions • Google sees search as essentially a basic form of artificial intelligence. • A year ago, Google executives said the company had achieved just 5% of its complete vision of search. • Google's search engine will eventually have to know what people are thinking, how to interpret language, even the way users' brains operate. Confidential

  18. Simulating the Brain Blue Brain • Currently they have simulated one column of a neocortex (of a rat) with 10,000 neurons and 30 million synapses using a 22.8 teraflop supercomputer. • (A human neocortex column has 60,000 neurons) Confidential

  19. Quantum Computing Dwave • DWAVE adiabatic quantum computers could reach 512 to 1000 qubits and performance superior to classical computers in 2008 • Successful development of quantum computers would accelerate the development of molecular nanotechnology with superior molecular simulation and modeling. Confidential

  20. Smartphones Next 10 years…. • Teraflop+ class smartphones that are constantly charged with gigabit+ connections seems likely. • Network to quantum computers and supercomputers of all types for remote processing. • Nvidia Tesla multi-teraflop GPGPU's and AMDs GPGPU Confidential
