leading to increased demand for the faster longer lasting data transmitters add to that the world wide 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 an order for. they needed a large network. based on our p.d. a. high functioning telecom relay stations for the far flung residence and resources of so many russian regions. and it. overseas 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 if your

e-list 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 the firm puts out annually this means everything from liquefied gases and polymers to rubbers lubricants some fertilizers it 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 role 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 me almost are increasingly taking that work upon themselves by generating cutting edge products above and beyond international
5:45 am
standards. a key product in a 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 the twenty first century focuses on going green to turn green tires doesn't mean you should be expecting a ship to shamrock shaded michelin's any time soon it typical black hole 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. the rubber basis on which the new tires will be made and some of the samples have already been taken to test. a campaign has begun in europe those hopes to label all tires according to specific characteristics. related to their environmental impact.
5:46 am
because of this efforts or just 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 also for the environment. before we see board puts any of its tire producers under orders to switch over production entirely and the test to meet the next just right green means getting rid of waste in the production process and cutting 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 weights 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 we have to say politan salaciously letting us model and scale of the laboratory process in order to obtain specific types of rubble in 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 on the robbers properties be full moving to the full scale industrial production stage with a practically finished product of the time. we're selling innovative 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 tomsk where the rubber meets the road isn't the only place the efficiency of modern automobiles stands to be in each and every one of their many moving parts as a potential impact and another company from problems because reinventing car design

down to its most crucial component 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 automobile power train fifty along with evolution gearing damages most commonly a breakdown of the flying of the gear teeth of the ford after that happens in the giro takes to the missing tooth is growing and six that holds the whole system with you sooner it's cheaper to repair them our prize for the repair is lower than for buying substitute gears in this case from germany what is most important is that the lifespan of this production unit will be extended several times over. in systems of the involute gears power is transmitted along a single line of action tangent to both gears based circles shifting pressure on along the teeth in the process limitation is that only one point of contact along the line pushes that one hundred percent efficiency and pulsation from the point shift restricts your speed and size technology market has impressed the makers of
5:49 am
all kinds of machinery by promising a solution that simultaneously solves the problems of. unlimited speed and torque 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 all gearing. there are three stages in the development of our eccentrics loyal technology which essentially continues the work of lawrence. dillard out of a coaxial gear we made a transmission with power. and. this first stage the device had the upside of low manufacturing costs but it had some drawbacks like noise and intermittent discontinuities in the transmission ratio we managed to eliminate the noise or the energy conversion coefficient from a global here as in the previous version that followed already had increased
5:50 am
efficiency with almost equal energy input and i doubt if 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 engineering. compact but costly technology market kept the model but with parallel shafts so that each eccentric had its own. smoothing the pinion in two thousand tours aligned along the eccentric rotation axis on the noise in discontinuity is problematic in the first model like a traditional invalid model contract is present along an entire line instead of a single point finally if the 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 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 was using metal inputs by
