Enthought develops software primarily using the Python programming language, which we consider the best vehicle for scientific computing currently available. Enthought's staff provides expertise in scientific and engineering fields, software development, project management, technical communication, and human-computer interfaces. Customers include Fortune 100 companies, national research labs, and the US government, with project engagements in geophysical modeling, computer-aided modeling for computational fluid dynamics, and financial modeling and analysis.
Founded in 2005, Numenta is developing a new type of computer memory system modeled after the human neocortex. The applications of this technology are broad and can be applied to solve problems in computer vision, artificial intelligence, robotics and machine learning. The Numenta technology, called Hierarchical Temporal Memory (HTM), is based on a theory of the neocortex described in Jeff Hawkins' book entitled On Intelligence (with co-author Sandra Blakeslee).
