opposition. and u.s. pastor to torrijos for publicly burning the koran is divided the rights of protests of a muslim dominated town has its staff all for designated free speech so as to avoid inciting violence. next to our cats our russian republic aware all palms give way to innovation and response to acknowledge the update. hello and welcome to technology update this month we're in because it's the capital of the russian republic of that that a stone and a 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 it to work to cities kremlin it's a unesco world heritage site with a breathtaking array of minarets to get detail domes within a few hundred feet of each other increasingly though it's visitors may just be stopping off to see the sights while pursuing more serious business that was certainly the mood last fall when a delegation of silicon valley entrepreneur met with the town's 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 it's just we're doing now is specializing we have been grad that will develop the petrochemical industry has a high tea pot it will specialize in information technology research and development flush we have a facility in the town of comes with columnist will be reprocessed on and we have specially designated zones for major high taken vestment projects are looking like

much of russia took the stance 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 in 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 cousins economy but it i see a part innovative industry has a shiny new home. to california venture capitalists also came here to get down to brass tacks on why to understand was worthy of investor attention. question international companies that have already enjoyed success in the republic made the case in painstaking detail the clear message to finished. tons economic tide is turning towards a new emphasis on top technology. we. can only come to regions of the russian federation it's about sixty percent of. structure comes from

the. industries and one of the main main objectives of. the economy we are looking for investments but first. investments so the investment in high tech. and. business 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 to rest in bed already directly impacts the lives of to understand citizens notably in a project they realize for the republic's government interested in the buzz around the administration but still largely bogged down in traditional bureaucracy a step towards the solution in for much for unified online state services. a series of strict requirements for the infamous of ministre once a number of specific functions this includes a fool for money printing

a variety of payment services documents gunning and a video link up with the cool sense. from the looks of it making for much has a lot in common with the automated tellers that pump out our cash or the electronic 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 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 because he didn't pay for signing up for apply for and receive confirmation of a wide range of services provided by an equally broad spectrum of state aid. each of these functions needs its own software and hardware design. which. at this point 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. the others haven't included a video link with the cool sensor using a single lens reflex camera as the scanner is our own pace and his solution. camera allows for document scanning without the own we'll be cover other features right at your fingertips they 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. but the first award for a new motor was developed where tildes angles an ergonomic current series six or four and she displayed a full scale called model heights we created year we showed it to focus groups and group of the participants based on individual preferences said whether it was convenience or inconvenience and whether they liked to disliked it only after that did we switch over to missile or start making the real thing upon the. next

go ahead was given informatica went to local design fabricators to help with much of the new hardware. the chinese veto protective plates and siding 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 the products in a buyer's market expecting higher standards. as a significant numb. components involved in monitoring its own state including he never consumption rates the tools. and other parameters is always here. to tell nobody to do for my terminals in proper shape in terms of stan red white

and green and for money keep gets down to the nuts and bolts of packing the kiosks full of the electronic communications equipment they need to do their many jobs each of the inputs needs to be seen kept in the central computer which then need the connection to the government payment network some of the solutions seem almost too good to be true with hard drives printers and given the digital camera hardly differing from the ones we have around the 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. there is a wide range of different services are provided by these in from out machines in principle thomas was to provide appropriate access to the service to various sites 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 right in this case banks or some other specialized organization. over on this side only

people who change receipt roles in the receipt printer or service these machines will be given access to them this could be tax collection agencies or some other organizations that have access to the register billowed isn't a full person and consequently only organizations that service the tunnel 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 infamous 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. cusick getting. sure because of the popularity of these machines. talking to submit the application is through the info so they don't have to come here two of three times but instead submit their applications where it's convenient for them they come to us only took pains to finalize documents. before going to official figures for the

first three months of two thousand and eleven in for my visits of more than tripled their handling nearly twice the volume of inquiries and more than four times the inflow of applications as people realize they could reserve other appointments if she asked that figure skyrocketed as did the number of payments made via informatic . that i t. park another company has attracted a crowd of potential foreign clients and investors to present their unique integration of the russian global not sat nav system with the software and communications complex they coordinates in commands to the stance emergency services crisis. russian companies need to be creating in earning money on original intellectual property and with that in mind information technologies a sector where intellectual property can turn into products pretty quickly becoming a good source of income that's part of the objective with a glowing us one one two pilot project based hearing because on with this satellite

network emplaced going to 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 their version information to emergency workers in the field whose locations they can track on the maps generated by the glowing us sat nav system. conversions the situations can strike almost anywhere at any time and the response has to be ready time is precious and this is to mange to cut out steps by getting info straight to the service needed increasing our first response capacity. the central cars on fire station agreed to show us how the new glow in this one one two system is impacting their work and effectiveness of the lifesaving services they provide.

the control room is all computerized with the integration of locally develops sat nav and software producing interactive digital maps of 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. 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 order 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 the statutes fill out a single online form they write the address and what kind of help is needed and simultaneously dispatched 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 as

a courtesy calls to the us emergency phone in the automobile or unsuccessful rescue teams are on the ready guide to the scene of the emergency by the same set of network rescuers cut down on time it's crucial to saving endangered lives it may seem a bit far fetched today but not for long transmitters like those being tested by design emergency vehicles may be required on russian cars by twenty thirty one and she was very interesting and important that separate regions have already launched projects both on their own that issue that and in cooperation with the iroquois in a system we're creating with the already started and the goals of basically decided to let you in future will combine our developments and experience to create the final quarter of the republic of tons of stuff. has accumulated considerable experience in this field just in local. glow not one one two and in four months both came from because on side t. park but there's two morning edition centers in that city neighborhood and seven across the capital with focuses in different sectors of the stone spreads out

beyond design to include several high tech investment zones in cities like mission accomplished navigation a show me and women who are. in the sense of the most densely populated area from. every second citizen of the russian federation lives within one thousand cologne today since and today it's very important for the multinational companies that's located in the sense of the. main to months in russia they concentrated in minnesota human or so says it's one of the. terms of quality quantity and travel to the. level in the public is about forty five percent of even less. which case invest huge flexibility as you case in motivating people sixteen hundred new workplaces were created with the two thousand and ten

opening of the massive two necco refinery in these new cars its first stage a new well put up seven million tonnes of crude continues to advance to the stones keep it rolling position petrochemical products like polyethylene and rubber begin to understand 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 temper stun me trucks to total thirty percent of russia's output these are either durable come ons workhorses from numbers need show me or feed on trucks from the lot will get 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. machines propelled by programs are remote guidance systems essentially planes that need no pilot to control their flight path. drawing on over a half century of aviation you know how cars on socal experimental design bureau is

making strides music spinning in its turn the tables from its first piloted engine with spiders in the sixty's unpiloted aircraft today. which through the idea of using drones is flying tugs is really quite obviously. he 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 is called. 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 up to four stay aloft over an hour in range from fifty meters to roughly nine thousand meters in elevation weapon systems are complicated and costly so they're fine tuning in functionality are worth the cost of flying targets but designing

a full arsenal of drone targets for different simulations is overkill so the dynamic is mention perform is the objective of many different in-flight exercises and the. great simone's not only for the air force but also in the anti agro if defined school says they need droids which have taken classes he says serve as most weapons are effectively imitating old kinds of mandate it 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 syllables workers have had to develop lightweight electronics and control systems to maximize their flying targets maneuverability 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 be used up to ten times it can be guided be

a program to auto pilot or from the remote control center all of these features undergo constant updates are going to achieve and more reliable line of control systems has been developed it has paul sold tests and is. freighting successfully in addition a new pilot system has been introduced which has significantly improved the quality of flying. so who's flying targets are so tricky they're only about one in every ten gets shot down this libertarian feature is an exhibition stand for development and testing of navigation and control systems that are basically the eyes and 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.

control actuators shows how the pilot system reacts to disturbances which we can create with the help of the rotary axis changing the pitch angle of the sensor units and the banking angle this is how we imitate in a cross angle in vertical and lateral plane we can judge whether the flight control system is ready for operation by changes in the test parameters of the sensor units 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 sensually it's a flying robots. with all the smart stuff packed into the fuselage it's time to fold everything down. and see if the drone is up to snuff before it can put top weapon systems to the test it done him has to undergo some pretty stringent testing

of its own list of modern russian designed military hardware did john amis help develop is nothing to mess with and includes fighter jets like the 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 sokol. when you do it. on piloted aircraft we plan to reach an entirely new technological level which will on the one hand and i was to significantly raise the aircraft tail end could. be providing a new generation of equipment to you that allows new hardware and programming solutions that. the so-called design bureau is planning to carve out a nice in the already crowded russian drone market will build an unpopulated multi-purpose aircraft weighing in at about one hundred kilograms so far it's all

blueprints behind closed doors but 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 professor chemical right here it is because on factory today to face sight it's home to a brand new innovation chemical cluster called him that the so-called tech novelist's has resurrected over one hundred thirty hectares of mostly have 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 was the new i was with here are several major petrochemical plants in tartar style which is what you support a considerable part of their products most is the weakest the money of the that's why we have seven objective to process at least thirty percent of color is a republican is going to get to the jobs taxes and the added value remain in the republican economy just to you could exist here at the hume ground high tech

cluster we're creating the necessary conditions for a quick start up for companies the aim to do that kind of work the plan to process polymers some of the this is their infrastructure has been created in the study a company can count on preferential terms for moving in. premises in a module building like this one which fully meets all safety standards and is fitted out with all modern technological infrastructure or if a company is already somewhat larger it can obtain a land allotment which requires utilities where is will be able to erect production facilities or install equipment suitable for its technology quickly and without any holdouts the project 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 go to increase the number of companies operating him to at least two hundred with these companies we hope to create a total of ten thousand new jobs wolf as was the disease each of which is as of today to flagship factory within the human complex is the production facility of

the russian flexible packaging company down to fix if you've been in russia long enough to shop for your favorite condiments there's a good chance they're grappling plastic film produced hearing because on 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 rules of translucent polyethylene film are loaded through these machines with code simpler and safety being layered on progressively as the plastic passes the rollers the machinery is all about precision so that the rest writing is exactly the right grid the egg yolks are exactly the right yellow and the vegetables they're natural great the reels find the fish samples are tested electronically to assure the true colors where does the plastic film come from in the first place. before still in the plastics extrusion process everything starts with granules these granules get trucked into special you matic lines through the hole and interaction judah's in

exchanges the granules get mail to down then this melted material gets pulled into the special rotating done and then the film bubble goes up to twenty meters cooling slowly. after that it's pressed by a special collapsing fright and turns into what's called a lay. if not then yes lay flat film comes back down there it gets cut to the sides and wound into robes on the. brain was to start the whole process are made of kali actually the world's most common plastic clear like wrinkles produced the corresponding color of packaging material in a clear great gulf that supplied on a fix for me right down the road because an org seemed to russia's biggest polyethylene producer the equipment design is about cooling a plastic film with 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 the air balloon and 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 flexed as new packaging materials in its sights. so recently we produce mostly known barrier packaging based on the polyethylene and pulling off an entire file itself like these for a standard mayonnaise package so we produce beriah packaging based on a leaving them for oil but foil is rather difficult to process and convert so this will just cried bring it to you can see our green who did a lot with it processing it by machinery is even harder even worse this material is practically known recyclable as a result a project 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 very attributes as aluminum foil body of but with a number of additional advantages it's transparent which allows you to see the product inside because the most small this film is recyclable. so the new membrane

will replace traditional foil in highbury or packaging all the same properties at a tiny fraction of the thickness. composite films are also on the menu for the donna flex ross nano partnership. produced products minister i should composite materials will go into the mixture from extrusion creating stronger packaging at a lower cost as russian in a representatives made clear during the california delegations visit last october this project is just the tip of the sun's going to be the investment nice we should play if we believe the agreements we've signed with our system works very well very reliably which in the doing we have projects plans of the so-called clean tech sphere including alternative energy solar batteries fuel cells and a number of projects related to biotechnologies and optional components for telecommunications closes 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 catch a glimpse we've only just begun to scratch the surface of the sounds high tech potential for out of time for this month in moscow scrolling fortunately we can go home to the russian capital knowing it's not the only capital of russian innovation join us for more on the next technology update and until then enjoy the ride.
