don carty dr tom. wolfe. bringing you the latest in science and technology from. the future coverage. this hour five thirty pm here in the russian capital with r.t. now our top story. classified documents reveal the u.k. was happy to hand over terrorist suspects to the u.s. with little regard to what would be waiting for them in secret prisons and washington's jurisdiction hundreds and are being tortured and abused without a trial. of mourning in europe the fate of a common currency is in serious doubt as europe agrees on another bailout to debt

laden greece but i'd use the country to get behind its spending cuts however some experts argue it's too late as the euro already has both feet in the ground. on the former prime minister of ukraine goes on trial for abuse of power that's alleged to have cost the country millions of dollars yulia timoshenko faces up to ten years behind bars if convicted. talent while others of the headlines are not even coming your way now brings you all the latest high tech gadgets and state of the art developments in russian science technology is now. history. welcome to technology update and welcome to tomes a city carver four centuries ago out of the endless forests and swamps of siberia

already an established center for some of russia's wizkid students and their smart ideas and a toast is transforming itself into an interview for an expanding cluster of innovative businesses since our last episode tomes close to the two thousand and eleven forum it's fourteenth annual gathering of business research and administration innovators this year drawing some three thousand participants from nineteen countries and forty seven russian regions followed on line by thousands more the event featured brainstorming sessions with top specialists and market makers unconsciously forward looking hot topics like revamping nuclear technology revitalizing cities and russia's regional economies and educating new generations to keep up in the knowledge base global environment of course the top tech firms were on hand to show off their skills that could potentially investors and partners well the forum functions a good attention grabber for gas from other parts of russia and beyond that brand new comiskey special economic zone is

a place where the push for new high tech sector development is underway year round this is two hundred seven hectares are divided into two campuses one in jason's the well established university center i couldn't get over the other by the massive petrochemical plant complex in its turn or the zone has a specific mandate to attract innovative residents with this selection process intended to ensure applicants have ideas and products to contribute to an expanding knowledge based economy the main site in the city southeast will eventually be a fully equipped with congress an administrative centers office space solutions for large and small businesses alike and top quality infrastructure accommodations and amenities for all their workers and guests. a company looking to set up its r. and d. center and constructed building here. is starting a similar project outside this. national economic zone can do these at least eighteen months and thirty percent cheaper thanks to the incentives and breaks we

can offer here because. those benefits are enough to attract me coronal already an established player in the russian microelectronics market with twenty years of experience and more than a thousand highly skilled staffers on their payrolls sitting up inside the zone where firms pay social taxes in a bargain fourteen percent on salaries instead of the russian standard thirty four should keep their clean room card rates compensation highly competitive while allowing the crown to branch out on a new products in partnerships their microchip production is largely directed towards hardware for telecommunications systems radio locator devices and microwave electronics all fields with fierce international competition for new ideas and markets but they've already shown their ability to corner important mishits mccrone is applying top quality microelectronics systems to the specialized needs of siberia's economy river transplant was long a lifeline for isolated cities like homes and it remains a vital link at the lies on the latest equipment to stay competitive and safe.

that's where mcclellan's new pinpoint leadership team river comes in and dancers over previous generations provide the location of potential hazards the day boat buoys or the inevitable siberian ice flows at an accuracy of just a metre and a half in the novelty of the radar itself as in the fact that it's fully based on solid state technology there's no high both internet and peak power it uses twelve votes this means high reliability of all its components we expect the mean time before failure to be thirty thousand hours which means years and years of uninterrupted operation as for operating range the key difference from existing systems is that this one has no blind spots. the manufacturing of the radars polities similar to the production of printed circuit board. it's very efficient so we hope it will allow us to cut prices significantly in the future. the river radar

system is just one of the many destinations for guns solid state semiconductors as technology has improved defray civvies devices has come down dramatically leading to increased demand for the faster longer lasting data transmitters add to that the world wide wave towards wireless and the applications keep right on expanding. our customers include oil and gas drilling companies and those that require wireless transmission mobile phone operators and particular. last year we completed in order for. they needed a large network and. based on our p d h equipment. high functioning telecom relay stations for the far flung residence and resources of so many russian regions strategic necessity and it's. one of the crime client

oversees six thousand kilometers of pipelines in some of the world's most isolated regions so the transmitters that monitor their condition have to hold up largely on their own. most electronics are fairly temperature sensitive but your mic on is testing their receiver transmitters from a balmy fifty above all the way down to a frosty fifty below. it's precisely that degree of expertise and experience that telecom big shots nokia siemens cited when selecting a partner for its russian joint venture aimed at producing the backbone for the country's first nationwide four g. network siemens will send some of their forces to the special economic zone in a project said to pump out ten thousand l.t.e. base stations a year. brings its own scientific base and original solutions to the project particularly in the field of not. we are planning to include arsenide.

when that comes online later this year mcclellan will have made yet another contribution to the vital infrastructure they keep brushing connected and just as they work to ensure the viability of every invaluable uplink they'll be working to ensure the information bridge to the future starts today and. most of the water in and around homes is plenty clean enough for leisure activities like a lazy day out fishing or the occasional summer swim so you probably will catch anybody drinking it straight from the source and local beverage producers have even higher purity standards to meet fortunately a filtration method pioneered by scientists is helping us quench our thirst for crystal clear h two. is one of many companies to emerge from the ideas and talented minds of universities in this case from the institute of string physics and material science. filtration researches produce defective membrane methods but

they are often costly in limited in throughput volume defenders are discovered that instead of straining water for harmful microbes and pollutants especially treated electrostatically charge material might be used to suck up these elements like a magnet. school to have found a happy customers and rural schools are brown from screeching and other parts of siberia where naturally high iron content is a real danger to children they also help brewery and other bottlers meet state regulations with perfect and near perfect results often stumping testers the best news the magic material appears to have even broader applications. initially this material was meant to filter. purify it from microorganisms viruses and bacteria which is an important issue. the material was developed quite successful. only after that an idea of address a major problem facing clinical medicine you could even say it's

a problem facing all of humankind and that's the developing resistance of microorganisms to fix. so how can this substance help we work in bandages known as it can remove infections caused by harmful bacteria without requiring the first question of any bayati medication applied widely described helps low the trend of increased resistance to such drugs as well as offering a solution for patients like this thompson in his condition would otherwise be very tough to treat. when he came in we observed a fourth degree burn of big supercell region at the base of the skull with a significant lesion when we see cultures from the wound we discovered an infection of pure and bacillus one of the most virulent pathogens hardly susceptible to answer big serial treatments like antibiotics using this material we saw with the wound cleared up rather quickly and that the cleaning period roughly coincided with the formation of new granular tissue as

a result our patients despite the serious lesions instead of the usual one hundred fifty to one hundred eighty days of active treatment was something this serious recovered in just eighty days. and. like most modern been a change in movie develops into a septic dressing is composed of q sterile non-abrasive fabric layers this secret to their success however lies in the absorbent microfiber layer between these micro fibers or tiny crumpled balls particles of an aluminum based powder dusted on to the layer the key to the materials effectiveness is the positive charge these microscopic particles are packing when applied to a potential source of infection or harmful bacteria electrostatic force is attracting negatively charged microbes to the absorbent layer of the dressing locking them down in never letting go. well you know there are currently no analogs in terms of functionality as a rule i think material is toxic to the infection placed on its surface in our case

it simply extracts microorganisms biases and bacteria from the infected areas whether the wound is a cut or some sort of look and it does not matter whether the microorganisms are resistant to antibiotics or not. while the food is pain a vivid picture of the video vella stressing in action that actual lifting of the microbes is still easier seen in the institute's laboratories here we witnessed a layer of the negatively charged bad guys lining a typical petri dish a small disk of the material layered on top when pulled away the disk really does take off the microbes it contacts. the healing process here happens in an entirely new way. start being healed from the bottom up the eliminating the need for skin grafts and no course granulation tissue is formed with the epithelium is

restored almost completely pain is either considerably reduced or entirely eliminated this points to good prospects of this material and its usage for various purposes this is what we're working on along with medical specialists studies are ongoing to find out exactly what he develops does to extract infectious bacteria and why is the electra static activity responsible for the pain relief effect just addressing serves similar purposes for both long term and more urgent treatment as with the concept for filtering water that came before it this is a material whose properties were first theorized increasingly tested and released products only in accordance with destruction regulations that relate to health impacting arenas like water filtration in medical treatment having passed through this long road from principle to practice. bandages are set for sale beyond homes cars windows only ready this summer in the meantime up the lead in the institute

behind it are busy pushing the test of their own success story further to see what other exciting results might lie ahead. across town success stories are also coming from the special economic zones north campus many from yost offense away from the toast nifty team plant that's long been one of the city's industrial mainstays is the main research and development center for the massive russian petrochemicals conglomerate seaboard stretching polymers to their breaking point isn't just for the entertainment of guests like us it's an important link in the chain of proposing to developing testing and launching initial production of many of the millions of tons of petrochemical products the firm puts out annually this means everything from liquefied gases and polymers to rubbers lubricants in fertilizers and may not sound sexy but these beakers of the basis of so many materials we take for granted in our comfortable lives a great deal of russia's wrong petroleum resources are exported before these value added products can be made only to be refined and processed for great profit abroad

suborning the specialist said newest are increasingly taking that work upon themselves by generating and cutting edge products above and beyond international standards. a key product in a broad spectrum of savors petrochemical output is synthesized rubber rubber or used to burning every time we step on the gas of our automobiles but today they're not just turning out any old tires the twenty first century focuses on going green to turn green tires doesn't mean you should be expecting your ship to shamrock shaded michelin's any time soon. a loser simply headed for a more eco friendly future well that's an easily understandable slogan producing the rubber on which the green future will ride turns out to be a bit more complicated tasks with giving subordinates clients to go. all rubber basis on which the new tires will be made and some of it samples have already been taken to test. a campaign has

begun in europe the hopes to label all tires according to a survey characteristics. related to their environmental impact. because of this efforts or just the tires that are more environmentally friendly and need to be comprised of new materials. so they will not only provide better vehicle safety and better safety for those who are inside also for the environment . before she would put any of its tire producers under orders to switch over production entirely testament to mix and just right green means getting rid of waste in the production process and cutting out chemicals that dirty road runoff or landfills it requires smooth ride even wearing tires that offer minimal resistance to the motion generated by the motor saving on atmosphere soiling emissions as the samples undergo testing it's clear the blade cuts both ways and the trick is

balancing complex tradeoffs still seaboard has completed this small stage development and needs a bigger scale specimen to supply its international partners in order to get a better feel for how products will perform in real use it's necessary first and foremost to proceed to the so-called pilot stage so we have an installation letting us model and scale of the laboratory procedures in order to obtain specific types of rubber a larger quantities which gives us something to work with interesting with thai companies and outlining the main conditions of all cooperation here we can adjust the process and the robbers properties we full moving to the full scale industrial production stage with a practically finished product the time. we were selling innovative rubber compounds to international leaders. like michelin and bridgestone there's an even better chance that tomorrow's smart tires come with a touch of tomsk where the rubber meets the road isn't the only place the

efficiency of modern automobiles stance can be improved each and every one of their many moving parts as a potential impact and another company from problems because reinventing car design to its most crucial components based out of the first building of the new special economic zone technology market is at the heart of tom's high tech trend and soon to be at the heart of the automobile power train fifty a longer it would be an invalid gearing damages most commonly a breakdown of the flank of the gear teeth. after that happens in the giro takes to the missing tooth it grinds and slips and holds the whole system which usually it's cheaper to repair them our prize for the repair is lower than for buying substitute gears in this case from germany well as most important is that the lifespan of this production unit will be extended several times over. in systems of involuted gears power is transmitted along a single line of action tangent to both gears based circles shifting pressure on

long the teeth in the process the key limitation is that only one point of contact along the line pushes the output gear at one hundred percent efficiency and pulsation from the points shift restricts your speed and size technology market has impressed the makers of all kinds of machinery by promising a solution that simultaneously solves the problems of wear and tear and limited speed and toward transmission company president and engineer victor stone of schoolboy reasons the power demands for heavy machinery will remain consistently high but this size weight and cost of providing the necessary power output could be cut several times by what they've named eccentric cycloid overhearing. it though there are three stages in the development of our eccentrics sic loyal technology which essentially continues the work of lawrence. dillon out of a coaxial gear we made a transmission with. us. this first stage the device had the upside of low manufacturing costs but it's not some drawbacks like noise and intermittent

discontinuities in the transmission ratio we managed to eliminate the noise when the energy conversion coefficient remained low as in the previous version that followed already have increased efficiency with almost equal energy input and. the large teeth allowed to transfer this force with a ratio several times greater than equivalent to invalid gear teeth the grandfather of the concept was the cycle gear produced in the late twenties by german engineering. compact but costly technology market kept the same model but with parallel shafts so that each eccentric had its own. smoothing the pinion and tooth contours aligned along the eccentric rotation axis. in the noise and this continuity is problematic in the first model now unlike the traditional invalid model contact is present along an entire line instead of a single point finally a third model was developed with slightly squared off teeth which have increased the energy conversion coefficient to near one hundred percent while maintaining the

whole line of contact along. with this gear to thing is the most environmentally friendly innovation in the last one hundred years of machine building is a little cost back on consumption of the planet's resources which using metal inputs by roughly thirty percent also lubricants oil and oil products and most importantly electric energy. are exactly the kinds of green gains and cost cuts on the minds of the makers of the nascent the economy car said to be russia's first homegrown hybrid june two thousand and eleven saw the ribbon cutting of their future factory outside of st petersburg it's a pet project of russian billionaire holding company own next some group to fanfare for friends journalists as well as st pete's governor valentino mikey into technology market may have been three time zones away but they provided a very important cog in your wheels. our colleagues in tomsk from the outset of this project proposed a very original solution for reduction here manufacturing with

a fundamentally new principle of making called. the solution which considerably reduces the size and mass of the gearing in the end product. serving other technical specifications this is extremely important for us because the plates and eventually the final cost are crucial when we're talking about the energy supply for the car. so technology tony scott made its innovative edition of the up and coming your project and we've still got quite a while to wait before i finish factory can put it in mass production in the meantime let's head back out to siberia to see what else they're sending our way. among the residents of this special economic zones months old second building is one of the best known tomes tech firms ella cotton under a prisoner call from his colleagues have built their business on the head of digital video curved in its most technically nuanced mishits forming back in one thousand nine hundred eighty from a university laboratory where digital television see the light years in the future

their bread and butter are video codecs constantly updated to process material according to the latest compression standards for professional or mass use it's the kind of programming stays mostly behind the scenes but ella card provides the building blocks for some of the world's i.t. giants. lessons in the basic there which are. a lot of companies who are. you know all this digital video stuff everywhere. and. in the. so where we are leading and go. or. we have more than the companies who are something. moscow state university's graphics and media lab sets the standard in testing video

codecs put out by the world's biggest players and they're not in the business of taking l.-a cars word for it we take for granted our curse quietly about when we press play on our digital puts specialists spent hours qualifying in clarifying. the scene from tone scale is interesting because they're a group that's given the world several different called ics. they've produced colleagues for television and movie continent. it seemed that works hard to keep on their quality. the industry leaders tend to change a bit early card is usually among the top one or two manufacturers of commercial called x. market. in two thousand and seven l. a car decided to combine its video expertise with another group of tomsk natives interested in emerging three d. technology giving birth to tree access it may have been avatars two thousand and

nine released that made three d. a hot topic which reactions has long been in the business of making the experience our user friendly future. presence the term three d. mainly associated with watching three d. material with the help of glasses. been of its oblique technology the trick was glances will be phased down to in favor of a more natural beautiful experience. where is material for glasses based systems needs just two channels of the two eyes in order to create a broader zone for serious competition various systems require significantly greater numbers of channels or cameras from five to eight or even up to twenty eight as a result will have a better image quality but there are a bunch of drawbacks such systems are rather complex still the rates and require a tremendous amount. data storage space also it's not easy to edit to compress to transmit also received to choose amounts of data applying an approach when just one

more type of dates are information bad image depth is added to the existing picture is more efficient because it makes use of the existing equipment and channels the data transmission of it we're working mainly on problems of preparing through the real of broadcasting receiving into coding. but i have developed special software. solve these problems to use in studio conditions for enhancing previously prepared video serial but also in real time broadcasts so the necessary equipment will be the same tool and stereoscopic cameras used to film today's glasses on blockbusters or home videos the two channels originally intended for your right and left eyes can be used to extract the additional virtual angles needed for glasses free viewing with tree axes three d. master to software the depth of each image can be extrapolated from the original angles the task going forward is to improve accuracy of automatic and live

transmission processing greatly expanding the currently limited land of glasses free material. bellecourt is already looking to branch out and build a separate each to within the special economic zone and it seems they're expecting a flood of company years of work ahead before it has a full fledged hold right tech the foundation has already been laid and there's plenty of space to grow join us for more on the next technology update and until then enjoy the right. hungry for the full story we've got it first the biggest issues get the human voice face to face with the news makers.
