place. to. live. hello and welcome to technology update this month we're in cuz it's the capital of the russian republic of the going to stun and the city of contrasts where religions and cultures from east and west collide but it's also the site where a thousand years of history are giving way to an upstart innovation based economy newcomers to cosign are sure to take a tour of the city's kremlin see you missed a world heritage site with a brick. taking a ray of minarets to get people domes within a few hundred feet of each other increasingly though it's visitors may just be

stopping off to see the sights for pursuing more serious business there was certainly the mood last fall when a delegation of silicon valley entrepreneurs met with touchstones top officials to discuss investment opportunities in the russian republic after a long trip from their familiar california confines their hosts were eager to point out that the necessary infrastructure was in place or shim a deal if yes we're doing now is special we have to grab it that will develop the petrochemical industry has on its way that will specialize in information technology research and development why should we have a facility in the town of comes only where palomas will be reprocessed going and we have specially designated zones for major high taken vestment projects are looking like much of russia touchstones economy is heavily dependent on industrial production accounting for nearly half of the regional g.d.p. within that segment traditional strong suits like mining metal works and oral refining remain the driving force behind the statistics there's

a growing interest in modernization across all industries high tech is long played a role in because oncet khana me but it id part innovative industry has a shiny new home. to california venture capitalists also came here to get down to brass tacks on why to their son was worthy of investor attention. russian and international companies that have already enjoyed success in the republic may be a case in painstaking detail to clear message that their stance economic tide is turning towards a new emphasis on top technology. one of the most economic until some regions of the russian federation it's about sixty percent of. industrial structure comes from the oil and petrochemical related industries and one of the main ideas one main objectives of. so diversifying the. we're looking for investments but first of all we need so-called smart investments. in high tech. and and.

as the name should imply some smart investment in the information technology sector has already found fertile ground within id park since our visit last october it's come alive with new tenants in for monaco's one new resident that already directly impacts the lives of touchstone citizens most notably in a project they've realized for the republic's government interested in the buzz around ministration but still largely bogged down in traditional bureaucracy a step towards the solution in for much for unified online state services. because timothy leary's of strict requirements for the infamous of ministre wants a number of specific functions it's just this includes a fool for printing a variety of payment services documents scanning and a video link up with the cool sensor. from the looks of it being in for much has a lot in common with the automated tellers that compound our cash or the

electronics she asks where thousands of russians pay their mobile phone or home internet bills and on the whole that's a good thing users are quicker to adapt to familiar looking hardware but the key element that said that in from out apart from its look alikes in previous generations are wired in its inner workings the government asked him for monica to incorporate become passive he did pay for signing up for apply for and receive confirmation of a wide range of services provided by an equally broad spectrum of state agencies each of these functions needs it's a new software and hardware design. regime i mean. we don't know of any competitors that produce this kind of equipment with the same characteristics some of them have princes with tiny trays for example holding only two hundred fifty sheets. this haven't included a video link with the cool censored. using a single lens reflex camera as a scanner. pates inside solution over. the camera allows for dr

ian scanning without the own we'll be cover other features right at your fingertips you can read your bank cards bar codes and passports full size documents or cashiers receipts and take payment for everything from property tax to parking tickets myself. for the first award for a new motor was developed here with tilt angles and ergonomic currents there is six or four and she went this way to a full scale called model how to recreate it you wish it's a focus groups a group of the participants based on individual preferences said whether it was convenient or inconvenient and whether they like to just like to so that if we switch a bit timid to start making the real thing. the negative was given informatica went to local design fabricators to help with much of the new hardware. tiniest detail protective plates and siting panels have to be perceived

in cars and welded from sheets of the desired metals and local workshops have valuable experience in the arena of mass production metalworking. it's an interesting example of how a new high technology solutions can support the continued growth of more traditional economic sectors. these in turn benefit from the call to compete for contracts to help with products in a buyer's market expecting higher standards some. new has a significant number of components involved in monitoring its own state including he never consumption rates the tools the alarm system and other parameters for which chip but i. can tell nobody to implement terminals in proper shape in terms of stunning red white and green in for money he gets down to the nuts and bolts of packing the kiosks full of the electronic communications equipment they need to do . there are many jobs each of the inputs needs to be seen to have to the central computer which then need the connections speaking

a government payment network some of the solution seems almost too good to be true with hard drives printers and given the digital camera hardly different from the ones we have around our office but here simplicity is savings we're talking about the ease of supplying servicing and replacing components when staring government buildings all over the republic. since a wide range of different services are provided by these in from out machines the principle was to provide appropriate access to the service terminal for various state structures for example is cash based operations are carried out of the right door then only cash handling and security organizations should have access to it or in this case banks or some other organization. over on this side the only people who change receipt roles in the receipt printer or service these machines will be given access to them and this could be tax collection agencies or some other organizations that have access to the register this isn't a full print and consequently only organizations that service the channel should

have access to it even if this is also for opening servicing or taking out the camera in the scanner here organizations that service the printer in this case change the contracts load the paper and generally ensure that the printer operates normally we showed up at the state property registry to see the informatics in action we found them being used by a broad segment of citizens they may have come here for something specific but services related to other administrative divisions were also excessive. use they getting shorter because of the popularity of these machines and more people are starting to submit application is through the info so they don't have to come here two or three times but instead submit their applications where it's convenient for them they come to us only took pains to finalize documents. into official figures for the first three months of two thousand and eleven for my visits and more than tripled their handling nearly twice. the volume of the increase and more than four times the info about locations as people realized they could preserve other

appointments at a kiosk that figure skyrocketed as did the number of payments made via in from out of that i t. park another company has attracted a crowd of potential foreign clients and investors to present their unique integration of the russian glue not sat nav system with the software and communications complex they coordinates in commands to their sons emergency services but i think. russian companies need to be creating in earning money on a regional intellectual property and with that in mind information technologies a sector where in selection of probity you can turn into products pretty quickly becoming a good source of income that's part of the object with the glowing us one one two pilot project based hearing because on with this satellite network in place they're developing and marketing a system to integrate and simplify emergency dispatcher services one one two is the unified emergency phone number for the e.u. and now russia much like nine one one in north america or ninety nine in the u.k.

these operators take those calls and direct the urgent information to emergency workers in the field whose locations they can track on maps generated by the glow not siphon i'm system. emergency situations can strike almost anywhere at any time and the response has to be ready time is precious and this is to me aims to cut out steps by getting info straight to the service needed increasing our first response capacity and. this central design firestation agreed to show us how the new glow nice one one two system is impacting their work and the effectiveness of the my c.v. services they provide. the control room is all computerized with the integration of locally developed sat nav and software producing interactive digital. after the emergency sites and units in the field we didn't light any buildings on fire to test them with the calls came

in over the way. just the asli if we received a message that the fire rescue line zero one about a road accident where people needed some kind of help we had to dial the police at zero two or the state road traffic and special we had to dial a third number to call an ambulance so we had to carry out all three of these operations in turn now with the new unified one one two system the difference is that dispatchers fill out a single online form of they write the address and what kind of help is needed and simultaneously dispatch this information to all services. russia's federal emergency situations ministry plans the future of such systems to look something like this traumatization transmitters in private cars will signal the call center that an accident has occurred if calls to the glowing us emergency phone in the automobile aren't successful rescue teams are on the ready driving to the scene of the emergency by the same set of network rescuers cut down on time that's crucial to saving endangered lives it may seem

a bit far fetched today but not for long transmitters like those being tested by cars on emergency vehicles may be required on russian cars by twenty thirty one she was very interesting and important that separate regions have already launched projects both on their own initiative and in cooperation with the arab league in a system where creating. already started and the goals of basically decided it. will combine our developments and experience to create the final product of the republic of stan has accumulated considerable experience in this field it's just an open with the public good not one one to inform us both came from because on site t. park but there's two more innovation centers in that city neighborhood and seven across the capital with focuses in different case sectors but the stone spreads out beyond consigned to include several high tech investment zones and cities like mission accomplished now additionally show me. and lynn of course it's in the sense of the most densely populated area and every second of the russian federation lives within

one thousand cologne today since and today it's very important for the multinational companies that's the case is in the sense of the. car because their main months in russia stay concentrated in minutes it's. one of the different countries in terms of quality quantity and. there were several of us on this about forty five percent of or even less. which case invest the flexibility as you face in motivating people sixteen hundred new workplaces were created with the two thousand and ten opening of the massive to eco refinery in these makowski its first teach anyone else would have seven million tonnes of crude continues to advance to the stones keep petroleum position petrochemical products like polyethylene and rubber pig and tougher standards which tops forty percent of russia's productivity and both as well as roughly

a third of the whole country's tires many of those tires go on to test on me trucks to total thirty percent of russia's output these are either durable come ons were courses from the british new chimney or fiar trucks from the whole lot of good special economic zone. because on helicopter factory pumps out choppers used around the world and that's just one part of the important aviation sector that's long been top flight in time stock increasingly modern aviation engineers are building specifically purpose machines propelled by programs or remote guidance systems essentially planes that need no pilot to control their flight path. drawing on over a half century of aviation no help is on socal experimental design hero is making strides in this expanding everynight this turn the tables from its first piloted engine with spiders in the sixty's unpiloted aircraft today. it's through the idea of using drones as flying targets is really quite obviously. has

embraced so-called design bureau has accumulated a unique experience in this arena so since it was founded this enterprise is designed several generations of unpiloted flying target systems mission and each of these targets was used by russian armed services and it's time for the. most recent generation of so-called targets it's called done and it's designed to take off from a light mobile launcher for use almost anywhere in military testing in training they can flying groups of a can for stay aloft for over an hour and range from fifty meters to roughly nine thousand meters in elevation weapons systems are complicated and costly so they're fine tuning the functionality are worth the cost of flying targets but designing a whole arsenal of drone targets for different simulations is overkill so the dynamic is meant to perform is the objective of many different in-flight exercises and the trends are in great demand not only for the air force but also in the anti

aircraft defense full service they need droids which have the capacity to serve as multiple weapons are effectively imitating old kinds of man. is only three hundred fifty kilograms the done m. is pretty light for any aircraft and that's an advantage in a field that values flexibility and ease of transport it just means so goes workers have had to develop lightweight electronics and control systems to maximize their flying targets on the move are delivered with a minimum of added mass to imitate various targets the dunham's engines can generate speeds from three hundred to seven hundred fifty kilometers per hour blasting it out of the sky is the only possible goal so it's equipped with a dual parachute recovery system which allows a single target drone to use up to ten times a commute guided via programmed autopilot or from the remote control center all of these features undergo constant updates. and. cheaper and more reliable line of control systems has been developed it has pulse and gays operating successfully and

edition and you said climate system has been introduced which has significantly improved quality if life was. flying targets are so tricky that only about one in every ten gets shot down. three feet is an exhibition for development and testing of navigation and control systems basically the brains of the drones we designed the ground based test complex consists of computers that control the flight dynamics of a model as well as performance monitoring equipment. and control system installed here is exactly like the real thing now we're going to switch on this equipment. of control actuators shows how the pilot system reacts to disturbances which we can create with the help of a rotary axis type changing the pitch angle of the sensor units and the banking angle this is how we imitate in

a cross angle in vertical electoral plane we can judge whether the flight control system is ready for operation by changes in the test parameters of the sensor the substitution of miniature components in control systems has decreased the system's weight increase the speed of the aircraft increase the maximum fuel payload and the flight range accordingly this a craft can withstand acceleration force of up to nine g. can nose dive and pitch up and sustain lateral acceleration forces. it's a flying robots. with all the smart stuff packed into the fuselage it's time to hold everything down. and see if the drone. can put top weapon systems to the test it done him has to undergo some pretty stringent testing of its own the list of modern russian designed military hardware dynamics helped develop is nothing to mess with. any clues fighter jets like to me twenty nine which is being delivered in a massive contract with india's navy this suit thirty variation developed for the chinese

air force and the s four hundred triumph any aircraft system stew more on pilot excitement lies ahead for so-called. when you would come on piloted aircraft we tend to reach an entirely new technological level bush will on the one hand and i was to significantly raise the aircraft the tail end could. be providing a new generation of equipment that allows new hardware and programming solution. the so-called zine bureau is planning to carve out a nice in the already crowded russian drone market they'll build an unpiloted multi-purpose aircraft weighing in at about one hundred kilograms so far it's all blueprints behind closed doors given their past excess the picture looks good going forward in the soviet union kodak moments were brought to you by castle rock who made their film for petrochemicals right here at this because on factory to date

a famous site is home to a brand new innovation chemical cluster called him that the so-called tech novelist's has resurrected over one hundred thirty here cares of mostly had been in brownfield in the place of one giant organization decide is establishing a base of innovative small and medium sized petrochemical projects they could help jumpstart economic development across the republic thus the new supposed would have been here are several major petrochemical plants in cars or sandwiches which exported considerable part of their products most as we just one of those of us why we have seven objective to process at least thirty percent of polymers in the republicans who want it so the jobs taxes and the added value remain in the republican economy we could exist here at the hume ground high tech closer we're creating the necessary conditions for a quick start up for companies the aim to do that kind of work if the pledge approaches. polymers. the necessary infrastructure has been created a company can count on preferential terms for moving into premises in

a module building like this one which fully meets all safety standards and is fitted out with all modern technological infrastructure of the war if a company is already somewhat larger it can obtain a land allotment with requires utilities where is will be able to record auction facilities or install equipment suitable for its technology quickly and without any hold ups in the bush it was launched in two thousand and seven today we have a hundred eleven residents and more than four thousand new jobs we sent in a vicious goal to increase the number of companies operating him to at least two hundred when these companies we hope to create a total of ten thousand new jobs will suppose that will fulfill these each of which is as of today a deflection factory within the humans complex is the production facility of the russian flexible packaging company gonna fix if you've been in russia long enough to shop for your favorite condiments there's a good chance they're back in a plastic film produced hearing to sign to put all those products on supermarket shelves these lines pump out kilometers of labeled plastic wrapping each day the

item of the hour here is minis massive rolls of translucent polyethylene film are loaded through these machines with coats of clued safety being layered on progressively as the plastic passes the rollers the machinery is all about perception so that the red writing is exactly the right grid the egg yolks are exactly the right yellow and the vegetables they're natural great with the reels find the finish samples are tested electronically to assure the true colors where does the plastic film come from in the first place. before storing the plastics extrusion process everything starts with granules these granules get trucked into special you matic lines through the hole and interest and exchanges the granules get mail to down then this melted material gets pulled into the special rotating die and then the film bubble goes up to. and he meets his cooling slowly. after that it's pressed by a special collapsing frame and turned into what's called

a lay flat then this lay flat film comes back down there it gets cut to the sides and wound into ropes. gringos that start the whole process are made of polyethylene the world's most common plastics both clear and white wrinkles produce the corresponding color packaging materials in a clear great holes that supplied on a fixed army right down the road cousin or seem to use his biggest polyethylene producer the equipment design is about cooling a plastic film of the desired thickness not just because a twenty meter plastic tornado looks amazing plastics extrusion can be performed by many different methods this is called blown film extrusion the volume and pressure of air blown into the massive tube stretches it determining the dimensions of the film that will descend on the rolls it's the most efficient way of producing this kind of film but done a flex as new packaging materials in its sights. to recently we produce

mostly known barrier packaging based on the polyethylene and polyethylene terra follicle like these for a standard mayonnaise package so we produce beriah packaging based on the leaving them for oil but foil is rather difficult to process and convert just by bringing it to you can see our green who did a lot when it's processing it by machinery is even harder even worse this material is practically known recyclable as a result of projects was started to produce thin film membrane instead of aluminum foil in the project was established together with. through that project we produced the first membrane that has the same barrier says aluminum foil body of but with a number of additional advantages it's transparent which allows you to see the product inside it because the most small this film is recyclable. so the new membrane will replace traditional foil in highbury or packaging all the same price . parties in a tiny fraction of the thickness new composite films are also on the menu for the donna flex most national partnership for this products ministration composite

materials will go into the mixture from extrusion creating stronger packaging at a lower cost. representatives made clear during the california delegations visit last october this project is just the tip of the type of innovative investment nice we should buy if we believe the agreement we've signed with works very well very reliably which in the doing we have projects transit the so-called clean tech sphere including alternative energy solar batteries fuel cells and a number of projects related to biotechnologies and optical components for telecommunications. behind the facade of traditional beauty because on the surrounding region is focusing on twenty first century functionality if you go to visit you just might change your lives we've only just begun to scratch the surface of the sounds high tech potential but we're out of time for this month in moscow stalling fortunately we can go home to the russian capital knowing it's not the

only topic all russian innovation join us for more on the next technology update until then enjoy the ride. culture is that so much and it is a huge because it is on the mark when we're told it means get off you must go with the royal family of the rainbow state is this a double standard is freedom allowed for some well. paid summer here broadcasting live from washington d.c. coming up today on the big picture of.

morning news today violence is once again flared up. and these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of canada. trying to corporations to rule the day.
