MicroTransponder Summary

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

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 RD

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.

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)

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.

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
