The Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO) is the largest national scientific research institution in Australia. Its predecessor was the Science and Industry Advisory Committee established in 19 16.
The main research achievements of the organization include: the invention of atomic absorption spectrometry, the development of the world's first plastic banknote, the invention of aviation insect repellent and gene pasting technology, and the promotion of a series of pest control systems in Australia, for example, the use of myxomatosis and rabbit calicivirus to control excessive rabbits in Australia. CSIRO has also made a series of achievements in information and communication technology (ICT) research, such as panoramic search engine (now renamed funnel back), votApedia telephone questionnaire system and Annodex video content tagging system.
Recently, CSIRO has taken a series of actions to protect the underlying technology patent of wireless local area network (Wi-Fi) standard obtained in 1996, which is closely related to IEEE 802.1a and 802.438+0 1G wireless standards, and has been widely used.
CSIRO has taken a series of legal actions in the United States, forcing companies including Microsoft, Apple and Dell? More than 65,438+000 American companies, including China, pay royalties.
