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 whiz kid students and their smart ideas today toast is transforming itself into an interviewer for an expanding cluster of innovative businesses since the last episode tomes coasted the two thousand and eleven forum its fourteenth annual gathering of business research and administration innovators this year drawing some three thousand participants from nineteen countries and forty seven russian regions. and 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 skill set to potential investors and partners while

lifeline for isolated cities like holmes and it remains a vital link at the lies on the latest equipment to stay competitive and safe. that's where mr jones who pinpoint later system river comes in and dances over previous generations provide the location of potential hazards be they both buoys or the inevitable siberian ice flows at an accuracy 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 voltage in it the peak power uses is 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 the manufacturing of the radars body is similar to the production of printed circuit board. it's very efficient so
9:36 am
we hope it will allow us to cut prices significantly in the future. the radar system is just one of the many destinations for me 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 and to that the worldwide 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 in particular. last year we completed an order for. they needed a large network. based on our p.d. h. equipment. high functioning telecom relay stations for the far flung

physics and material science. wide filtration research is produced effective membrane methods but they're often costly and limited in throughput volume defenders of 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 or brown tomsk region 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 they measured 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 that could address a major problem facing clinical medicine you could even say it's a problem facing all of humankind i'm not the developing resistance of micro-organisms to. so how can this substance help reworking bandages known as it can remove infections caused by harmful bacteria without requiring the first question 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 and region at the base of the skull with a significant lesion to kill just from the wound we discovered an infection of pure and bacillus one of the most virulent pathogens susceptible to answer because serial treatments like antibiotics using this material we sold in the womb cleared
9:41 am
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 a septic dressing is composed of two sterile non-abrasive fabric players this secret to their success however lies in the absorbent micro fire layer between these micro fibers are dotted with tiny crumpled bolts particles of an aluminum based nano powder dusted on 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 forces a track negatively charged microbes to the absorbent layer of the dressing locking them down in never letting go. there are currently no analogs in terms of

functionality as a rule and he sets it materials toxic to the infection placed on its surface in our case it simply extracts microorganisms viruses and bacteria from the infected areas whether the wound is or caught some sort of look and it does not matter whether the microorganisms all resistant to antibiotics will not contribute. 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 disc 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 eliminating the need for
9:43 am
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'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 and this is a material whose properties were first theorized increasingly tested and released as products only in accordance with the stringent 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

hospitals already this summer in the meantime up to 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 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 in cebu are 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 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 specialists at new york are increasingly taking that work upon themselves by generating and cutting edge products above and beyond international standards are. a key product in the broad spectrum of simple as 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 the typical bly 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 tasks with giving subordinates clients to go. basis on which
9:46 am
the new tires will be made and some of it samples have already been taken to test. the campaign has begun in europe 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 also for the environment. before she would put any of its tire producers under orders to switch over production entirely and the us test to make the mix 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

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 stands to be in each and every one of their many moving parts as a potential impact and another company from reinventing car design can 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 trade and soon to be at the heart of automobile power train fifty along invalid 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 it grinds and slips and holds the whole system just it's cheaper to repair them our prize for the repair is lower than for boeing substitute gears in this case from germany but his most important is that the life of this production unit will be extended several times over. in systems of involute gears
9:49 am
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 one hundred percent efficiency and pulsation from the point 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 stein of schoolboy reasons that 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. there are three stages in the development of our eccentric cyclical technology which essentially continues the work of lawrence. ability out of a coaxial gear we made a transmission with power. and. this first stage the device had the upside of low
9:50 am
manufacturing costs but it had 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 of the previous version. followed already have increased efficiency over 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 of gear produced in the late twenties by german engineers. compact and costly technology marcie kept the model but with parallel shap so that each eccentric had its own. smoothing the opinion in. the long the eccentric rotation axis. the noise in discontinuity 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
9:51 am
a model was developed with slightly squared off teeth which have increased the energy conversion coefficient to near a hundred percent. of contact along the teeth this is the most environmentally friendly innovation in the last one hundred years of machine building. block and consumption of the planet's resources reducing metal inputs by roughly thirty percent lubricants oil and oil products and most importantly electric energy. those are exactly the kinds of green gains and cost cuts on the minds of the makers of the nascent economy cars 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. 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. wheels. our colleagues in tomsk from the

outset of this project proposed a very original solution a reduction gear manufacturing with a fundamentally new principle of making cog wheels. it's a 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 weights and eventually the final cost are crucial when we're talking about the energy supply for the car business you know so much so technology market of tones has made its innovative addition to the other thing coming your mobile project we still got quite a while to wait before it finished 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 as one of the best known tomes tech firms l.-a caught under a pose new call for his colleagues to build their business on being
