DEVELOpmENT
After the formal launch in July 2009, ASTI
together with the Technology Resource
Center began the full operation of the
DOST-PEZA Open Technology Business
Incubator with 11 start up companies
being assisted. Continual development of
Digital Wood Moisture Meter for Bamboo
and Other Non-Timber Forest Products was
also accomplished.
Protection of intellectual property (IP)
generated from its R&D undertakings is an
utmost concern of ASTI. Hence in 2009, IP
protection was obtained for digital wood
moisture meter. The application filed for
utility model and copyright for the said
product was approved.
To help disseminate the R&D results
and to promote the Institute’s project
initiatives and technical competencies
to the local and international research
communities, submission of technical
papers was encouraged. A paper on
“FPGA Based Agrep for DNA Microarray
Sequence Searching” was accepted and
presented at the 2009 International
Conference on Computer Engineering and
Applications (ICCEA 2009) and another one
on “Harnessing ICT and High Performance
Computing for Environmental Monitoring
and Hazard Mitigation” was presented
during the Earth Sciences International
Conference (SIC 2009).
