when that comes online later this year mcclellan will have made yet another contribution to the vital infrastructure they keep 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 and local beverage producers have even higher purity standards to meet fortunately a filtration method pioneered by tom's scientists is helping us quench our thirst for crystal clear. is one of many companies to emerge from the ideas and talented minds of tomsk university in this case from the institute of string physics and material science and world wide filtration research is produced

effective membrane methods but they're often costly and 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 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. a material was developed quite successful . only after that an idea emerged that could address
1:40 pm
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. so how can this substance help we work in bandages known as a can remove infections caused by harmful bacteria without requiring a prescription 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 observe the 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 pure and bacillus one of the most virulent pathogens susceptible to and to big serial treatments like antibiotics using this material we saw that 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 with something this serious recovered in just eighty days. with. most modern bandaging a new view develops into a separate 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 vaults 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 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 in

terms of functionality as a rule and he said sic 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 will not contribute. while the food is pain a vivid picture of the video vella stressing an action that actually 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 cool the way you describe really does take off the microbes he contacts. the healing process here happens in an entirely new way. start being healed from the bottom up eliminating the need for
1:43 pm
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 his products only in accordance with the stringent regulations that relates to health impact in arenas like water filtration in 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 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 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 petro chemical 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 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 specialists and us are increasingly taking that work upon themselves by generating cutting edge products above and beyond international standards that are . a key product in the broad spectrum of seaboard petrochemical output is synthesize rubber rubber or use the 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 you ship 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
1:46 pm
will be made and some of its samples have already been taken to test. a campaign has begun in europe to label all tires according to specific characteristics. related to their environmental impact. because of this effort or 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 test to meet 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 riding even wearing tires that offer minimal resistance to the motion generated by the motor saving on atmosphere soiling emissions as the samples
1:47 pm
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 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 an installation letting us model the laboratory process in a sane specific types of a large quantities which gives us something to work with testing with time companies and outlining the main conditions of all cooperation we can adjust the process and the robbers properties the full moving to the full scale and just real production stage with a practically finished product. were 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 can be improved each and every one of their many moving parts as a potential impact and another company from 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 trade and soon to be at the heart of automobile power train fifty thousand a long invalid gearing damages most commonly a breakdown of the flank of the gear teeth before after that happens and the gear will take to the missing tooth is growing and slips and holds the whole system with you sooner it's cheaper to repair them our price 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 involuted gears power is transmitted along
1:49 pm
a single line of action tangent composed 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 gear at 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 wearing 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 in cost of providing the necessary power output could be cut several times by what they've named eccentric cycloid hearing. though there are three stages in the development of our eccentrics six global technology which essentially continues the work of lawrence. out of a coaxial gear we made a transmission with power. and. first stage the device had the upside of low
1:50 pm
manufacturing costs. 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 of gear produced in the late twenties by german engineers. compact and costly technology market kept the model but with parallel shaft so that 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 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
1:51 pm
the energy conversion coefficient a mere one hundred percent. of contact along the teeth of the through thing 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. 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 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 in tom's from the
1:52 pm
outset of this project proposed a very original solution a reduction gear manufacturing's with a fundamentally new principle of making cog wheels. 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 of weight 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've still got quite a while to wait before i finish factory and 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 ellicott a. new call for his colleagues and build their business on being ahead of digital video curve and its most technically nuanced mishits forming back in one thousand

nine hundred from a university laboratory where digital television sees light years in the future their bread and butter are video codecs constantly updated to process material according to the latest compression standards we need for professional or mass use it's the kind of programming fees mostly behind the scenes but ella card provides the building blocks for some of the world's i.t. giants. licensing the basic pickle which are. local companies who are. you know all this stuff everywhere. so where we are leading. or. we have more the closer the companies who are seeing something from.
1:54 pm
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 ella cards 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 to come on. the sea from tones is interesting because they're a group that's given the world several different products. and they produce context for television and movie contant. 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 tomsk natives interested in emerging three d.
