boards it's very efficient so we hope it will allow us to cut prices significantly in the future. system is just one of the many destinations for me. as technology has improved the price of these devices has come down dramatically leading to increased demand for the longer lasting data transmitters. and the applications keep right on expanding. our customers include oil and gas drilling companies and those that require wireless transmission mobile phone operators in particular. last year we completed an order for. they needed a large network. based on our p.d. h. telecom relay

a lot of technology we are planning to include gallium arsenide. technology. when that comes online later this year mcclellan will have made yet another contribution to the vital infrastructure they keep 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 do you probably won't 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. it is one of many companies to emerge from the ideas and talented minds of tomsk university in this. pace for me institute of string physics

a material science. filtration research is produced defective membrane methods but they're often costly in limited in throughput volume the founders of discovered that instead of straining water for harmful microbes and pollutants especially treated electrostatically charge material might be used to soak up these elements like a magnet. filters have found a happy customers in rural schools. 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 their magic material appears to have even broader applications. initially this material was meant to filter water purify it from microorganisms viruses and bacteria which is an important issue. the material was developed quite
6:38 pm
successfully only after that an idea emerged that could 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. so how can this substance help reworked in bandages known as it can remove infections caused by harmful bacteria without requiring the 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 of the region at the base of the skull with a significant lesion when we see cultures from the wound we discovered an infection of purer than bacillus one of the most virulent pathogens susceptible to and to big serial treatment like antibiotics. using this material we sold of 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 layers 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 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 attract negatively charged microbes to the absorbent layer of the dressings locking them down in never letting go. there are currently no in terms of
6:40 pm
functionality as a rule the septic material is toxic to the infection placed on it. simply extracts microorganisms viruses and bacteria from the infected areas whether the wound is or can't or some sort of look and it does not matter whether the microorganisms resistant to antibiotics or not. while the food is pain a vivid picture of the video stressing in action that actual lifting 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. stopped being healed from the bottom up eliminating the need for
6:41 pm
skin grafts and no cool scrawny lation tissue is formed the epithelium is restored almost completely pain is either considerably reduced or entirely eliminated elice points to good prospects for 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 electricity tick activity responsible for the pain relief effect does the dressings serve 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 properties were first theorized increasingly tested and released as products only in accordance with distributed regulations that relate to help impacting arenas like water filtration and medical treatment having passed through this long road from principle to practice bandages are set for sale beyond. already

outset of this project proposed a very original solution for reduction manufacturing with a fundamentally new principle of making. which considerably reduces. the gearing in the end. this is extremely important because weight and eventually the final cost are crucial when we're talking about the energy supply for the car. so technology. made its innovative addition to the. project but we still got quite a while to finish factory 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. colleagues have been. business on being ahead of digital video curved in its most

transmit all to receive such huge amounts of data applying an 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 the existing equipment and channels for data transmission that we're working mainly on problems of preparing three d.v.d.'s material of broadcasting receiving and decoding. we have developed special software that not only solve these problems for use in studio conditions for enhancing previously prepared video material 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 access.
