broken new technology update and welcome to tomes a city carved over 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 intra baiter for an expanding cluster of innovative businesses since our last episode tomes coasted the two thousand and eleven forum its fourteenth annual gathering of business research and ministration 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 tom 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 tomes tech firms were on hand to show off their skill set to potential investors and partners while the forum functions a good attention grabber for gas from other parts of russia and beyond it were a new home 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 to the well established university center i could him go to the other by the massive petrochemical plant complex in its turn or the zone has a specific mandate to attract innovative residents with this election process intended to ensure applicants have ideas and products to contribute to an expanding knowledge base 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 saying yes. i'm going to go but if i build

a company looking to set up its r. and d. center and construct it's building here. discussing a similar project outside this. national economics can do these at least eighteen months and thirty percent cheaper thanks to the incentives and breaks we can offer here. those benefits are enough to attract mcmullen already an established player in the russian microelectronics market with twenty years of experience in 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 the clean room congress compensation highly competitive while allowing the crowd to branch out a new products important or ships 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 siberian economy over transplant was long being a lifeline for isolated cities like homes and it remains a vital link it lies on the latest equipment to stay competitive and safe. that's when the crunch new pinpoint leadership in river comes in and dances over previous generations provide the location of potential hazards the day boat buoys or the inevitable siberian ice flows and inaccuracy of just a metre and a half the novelty of the radar itself is in the fact that it's fully based on solid state technology there's no high both in the 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 asshole and manufacturing of the radars body is similar to the production of printed circuit boards. it's very efficient so we hope it will allow us to cut prices significantly in the future. the radar system is just one of the many destinations for guns solid state semiconductors as technology has improved the price of these 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 own oil and gas drilling companies and those that require wireless transmission mobile phone operators in particular. last year we completed an order from. they needed a large network. based on our p d h.

high functioning telecom relay stations for the far flung residence and resources of so many russian regions strategic necessity and a tall task in production one client oversees six thousand kilometers of pipelines and some of the world's most isolated regions so the transmitters they monitor their condition largely on their own. most electronics are purely temperature sensitive your mic on is testing their receiver transmitters from obama fifty opposed all the way down to a frosty fifty. degree of expertise and experience that telecom big shots nokia siemens cited when selecting mcclellan as 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 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. use it. when that comes online later this year mcclellan will have made yet another contribution to the vital infrastructure they keeps russia connected and just as they work to ensure the viability of every invaluable uplink will be working to ensure the information bridge to the future starts today in. most of the water in and around homes plenty clean enough for leisure activities like a lazy day out fishing or the occasional summer swim still you probably won't catch anybody drinking it straight from the source cocoa beverage producers have even higher purity standards to meet fortunately a filtration method pioneered by tom's scientists as helping us quench our thirst for crystal clear. it is one of many companies to emerge from the ideas in

calendar had minds of tomsk university in this case for me institute of st physics and materials science wide filtration research is produced effective membrane methods but they're all things costly and limited in throughput volume the founders of our quickly 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. filters have found a happy customers in rural schools around terms cretin and other parts of siberia where naturally high iron content is a real danger to children they also help other bottlers meet state regulations with perfect and near perfect results often stumping testers the best news the magic material peers 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. it so how can this substance help rework in bandages known as they can remove infections caused by harmful bacteria without requiring or scription of any biopic medication applied widely described help slow the trend of increased resistance to such drugs as well as offering a solution for patients like this man whose condition would otherwise be very tough to treat. when he came in we observed a fourth degree burn of the exhibits at the base of the skull with a significant lesion. to kill just from the wound we discovered an infection of

puritan bacillus one of the most virulent pathogens 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. like most modern bandaging a new view develops into septic dressing is composed of two sterile non-abrasive fabric players this secret to their success however lies in the absorbent microfiber layer between these micro fibers are dotted with tiny crumpled balls particles of an aluminum based nano powder dusted on the layer of the materials effectiveness is the positive charge these microscopic particles are packing when applied to a potential source of infection or harmful bacteria electrostatic forces

a try to negatively charge microbes to the absorbent layer of the dressing locking them down in never letting go. there are currently no in terms of functionality as a rule the sense that material is toxic to the infection placed on its surface. it simply extracts microorganisms viruses and bacteria from the infected areas whether the wound is a cut with some sort of look and it does not matter whether the microorganisms resistant to antibiotics or not contribute. while the food is pain a vivid picture of the view of alice stressing in action that actual listing of the microbes is still easier seen in the institute's laboratories where 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 would start being healed from the bottom up 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 all this points to good prospects for this material and its usage for various purposes this is what we are 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 electorate 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 risk properties were first theorized increasingly tested and released his products only in accordance with the stranger regulations that relates to

health impacting everyone is like water filtration in medical treatment having passed through this long road from principle to practice. the video as bandages are set for sale beyond tomes hospitals already this summer in the meantime up for 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 and 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 developing testing and launching initial production of many of the millions of tons of petrochemical products a 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 are 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 subordinate specialist said new york post are increasingly taking that work upon themselves by generating cutting edge products above and beyond international standards careful. a key product in the broad spectrum of seaboard 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 in a twenty first century focuses on going green to turn green tires doesn't mean you should be expecting issue to shamrock shaded michelin's any time soon the typical black balloons are 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 than the u.s. does tasked with giving subordinates clients the go. basis on which the new tires will be made and some of its samples have already been taken to test. a campaign has begun in europe this hopes to label all tires according to specific characteristics. related to their environmental impact. because of this effort. tires that are more environmentally friendly need to be comprised of new materials. so they will not only provide better vehicle safety and better safety for those who are inside but also for the environment. before the board puts any of its tire producers under orders to switch over production entirely new testament the mix just right green means getting rid of waste in the

production process and cutting out chemicals that dirty road run off or landfills it requires smooth ride even wearing tires that offer minimal resistance to the motion generated by the motor saving on atmosphere soiling emission 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 update politan salaciously letting us model the laboratory process in the same specific types of rubble in large quantities which gives us something to work with testing with thai companies and outlining the main conditions of all cooperation here we can adjust the process and the robbers properties be full movings of a full scale industrial production stage with

a practically finished time. of rubber compounds to international leaders. like continental michelin and bridgestone there's an even better chance that tomorrow's smart tires come with a touch of tomes where the rubber meets the road isn't the only place the efficiency of modern automobiles stance could be improved each and every one of their many moving parts as a potential impact and another company from clones because reinventing car design with most crucial components based out of the first building of the new special economic zone technology market is at the heart of high tech trends and soon to be at the heart of automobile power train if it's a long involved gearing damages most commonly a breakdown of the flank of the gear teeth before after that happens in the giro takes to the missing tooth and grinds and slips and holds the whole system. if you were to repair them our prize for the repair is lower than for boeing substitute

gears in this case from germany that is most important is that the lifespan of this production unit will be extended several times over. in systems of involution 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 that i'll put the gear in one hundred percent efficiency and pulsation from the point shift restrict 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 stein 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 old hearing. though there are three stages in the development of our eccentrics

a global technology which essentially continues the work of lawrence. dillard out of a coaxial gear we made a transmission with power. up. 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 but 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 involute gear teeth the grandfather of the concept was this cycle gear produced in the late twenties by german engineers. compact but costly technology market kept the model but with parallel shaft so they each eccentric had its own. smoothing the pinion into the contours aligned along the eccentric rotation axis could cut back on the noise and discontinuity is problematic in the first model now unlike the traditional invalid

model contract is present along an entire line instead of a single point finally a model was developed with slightly squared off teeth which have increased the energy conversion coefficient a mere one hundred percent while maintaining the whole line of contact along. with this gear through thing is the most environmentally friendly innovation in the last one hundred years of machine building is a little back on consumption of the planet's resources reducing 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 who hosted the 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 and from the outset of this project proposed a very original solution a reduction gear 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 for serving other technical specifications this is extremely important for us because wait and eventually the final cost are crucial when we're talking about the energy supply for the car. so technology market tomes has made its innovative addition to the i think i mean you'll know bill project 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

because one of the best known tomes tech firms ella cotton under it was new coal for his colleagues and built their business on being the head of digital video curved in its most technically nuanced mishits forming back in one nine hundred eighty eight 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 that 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. who are. you know all this digital stuff. everywhere. in hardware in the video so where we are leading.

or. we have more than a closer look i'm going to who are waiting to see something from a looker. must kill 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 eloquence word for it we take for granted or curse quietly about when we press play on our digital puts specialist spent hours qualifying in clarifying. the sea from its own skin is interesting because they're a group that's given the world several different called ics. and they've produced products for television and movie content. it's a team that works hard to keep up 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. . in two thousand and seven l a car decided to combine its video expertise with another group of toms 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 reactors has long been in the business of making the experience our user friendly future. presence the term three d. is mainly associated with watching three d. material with the help of glasses. its ability to acknowledge either trick was glances will be phased down in favor of a more natural visual experience. where is material for glasses based systems needs just two channels for the two eyes in order to create a broader zoom 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 better image quality but there are

a bunch of drawbacks such systems are rather complex tilt the rates and require a tremendous amount. data storage space also it's not easy to edit to compress to transmit all to receive such huge amounts of data applying approach when just one more type of data or information about image depth is added to the existing picture is more efficient because it makes use of existing equipments and channels with data transmission. we are working mainly on problems of preparing for easy i'm a serial of broadcasting receiving into coding. we have developed special software but not so many souls these problems they use in studio conditions were in previously prepared video material but also in real time broadcasts so the necessary equipment will be the same dual 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 we triacs this three d. master kits software the depth of each image can be extrapolated from the original angles of 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 there's still years of work ahead before tomsk as a full fledged hold for itek 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 ride.
