this is all t would be twenty four hours a day top stories this hour one of russia's richest men says if not me then who is he sets his sights on the prime minister's position because it put all of his big politics ahead of the liberal pro-business party aiming to become the second largest off of putin's united russia in the upcoming parliamentary election. and dozens die in terrible means in afghanistan as barack obama promises to follow through with the decision to withdraw a month of u.s. troops from the country. and london is accused of harboring foreign fugitive

daughter was revealed the next egyptian finance minister is living openly in britain just part of thirty year jail sentence back on researchers gone he was convicted of corruption and used for personal profit but fled. i'm not trusting my colleague he'll be here and listen thirty minutes as the news continues in the meantime he brings you all the latest high tech gadgets and state of the art developments in russian science technology update is next. train. welcome to technology update and welcome to tomes a city car driver 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 told his transforming itself into an integrator for an expanding cluster of innovative businesses since their 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 on line 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 well the forum functions a good attention grabber for gas from other parts of russia and beyond the brand new pumps 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 get him going to the other by the massive tomes petrochemical plant complex in its turn of the zone has a specific mandate to attract innovative residents with this selection 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 and guests. on a couple of have built a company looking to set up its are in the center and constructed building here asking beds is starting a similar project outside this. national economic zone ends of these at least eighteen months and thirty percent cheaper thanks to the incentives and breaks we can offer here because. those benefits are enough to attract me coronal already an

established player on 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 their clean room congress compensation highly competitive while allowing the crown to break out on 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 siberia's economy river transplant was long the lifeline for isolated cities like homes and it remains a vital link that belies on the latest equipment to stay competitive and safe.

that's where mcclellan's new pinpoint leader system river comes in and dances over previous generations provide the location of potential hazards the day boat schoolies or the inevitable siberian ice floes at an accuracy of just a metre and a half in the novelty of the radar itself is in the fact that it's fully based on solid state technology there's no high both as unit of 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 at school the manufacturing of the radios poti is similar to the production of printed circuit board. it's very efficient so we hope it will allow us to cut prices significantly in the future. the river radar system is just one of the many destinations for me to run solid

state semiconductors as technology has improved defray some of these devices has come down dramatically leading to increased demand for the faster longer lasting data transmitters and to that the world wide 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 residence and resources of so many russian regions strategic necessity and it. client oversees six thousand kilometers of pipelines in some of the world's most

isolated regions so the transmitters to monitor their condition have to hold up largely on their own. most electronics are fairly temperature sensitive but your microphone is testing their receiver transmitters from a balmy fifty above all the way down to a frosty fifty below. it's precisely that degree of expertise and experience that telecom big shots nokia siemens cited. as a partner for its russian joint venture aimed at producing the backbone for the country's first nationwide four g. network. forces to the special economic zone in a project 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 include our snide middle class . values and. when that comes online later this year mcclellan will have made yet another contribution to the vital

infrastructure big keeps russia connected and just as they were 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 and the occasional summer swim so you probably will catch anybody drinking it straight from the source a local beverage producers have even higher purity standards to meet fortunately a filtration method pioneered by top scientists is helping us quench our thirst for crystal clear each to. believe is one of many companies to emerge from the ideas intelligent minds of tomsk university in this case for me institute of st physics a material science. filtration research is produced effective membrane methods but they're often costly and limited in throughput volume defenders are 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. surefire 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 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

microorganisms to answer. so how can this substance help me work in bandages known as it can remove infections caused by harmful bacteria without requiring any by a medication applied widely this could 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 the region of 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 hardly 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. and. like 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 tiny crumpled balls particles of an aluminum based nano powder gusted on to 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 attract negatively charged microbes to the absorbent layer of the dressing locking them down in never letting go. well you know there are currently no analogs in terms of functionality as a rule antiseptic material is toxic to the infection placed on its surface.

it simply extracts microorganisms biases 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 are resistant to antibiotics or not contribute. while the food is pain a vivid picture of the video vella stressing in action natural 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 just of the material layered on top with the way the disk really does take off the microbes it contacts. the healing process here happens in an entirely new way the start being healed from the bottom up and also eliminating the need for skin grafts and no course granulation tissue is formed. is restored almost completely pain is either considerably reduced or entirely

eliminated 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 and this is a material whose properties were first theorized increasingly tested and released as products only in accordance with the stranger regulations that relate to health impacting arenas like water filtration and medical treatment having passed through this long road from principle to practice. if you develop bandages are set for sale beyond homes cars but those already december in the meantime on the 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 many from yost offense away from the coast 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 to developing testing and launching initial production of many of the millions of tons of petrochemical products the firm puts out a new only this means everything from liquefied gases and polymers to rubbers lubricants in fertilizers and may not sound sexy but these speakers 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 out work upon themselves by generating cutting edge products above and beyond international standards. a key product in the broad spectrum of savors 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 turning green tires doesn't mean you should be expecting a ship to shamrock shaded michelin's any time soon it typical a 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 the road. all rubber basis on which the new tires will be made and some of it samples have already been taken to test. campaign has

begun in europe those hopes to label all tires according to specific characteristics. related to their environmental impact. because of this effort or just the 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 seaboard puts any of its tire producers under orders to switch over production entirely test to meet the mix just right green means getting rid of waste in the production process and cutting the 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 ways and the trick is balancing complex tradeoffs still seaboard has completed this small stage development and

needs a bigger scale rubber 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 and scale of the laboratory procedures in order to obtain specific types of rubber a large quantities which gives us something to work with in testing with thai companies and outlining the main conditions of our 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 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 tomsk where the rubber meets the road isn't the only place the efficiency of modern automobiles stands to be improved each and every one of their

many moving parts as a potential impact and another company from problems because reinventing car design to its most crucial components 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 it's. a longer invalid gearing damages most commonly a breakdown of the flank of the gear teeth of the ford after that happens in the giro takes to the missing tooth it grinds and slips and holds the whole system when you shoot it 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 involution gears power is transmitted along 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 i'll put garrett 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 stone 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 and because several times by what they've named eccentric cycloid overhearing. it though there are three stages in the development of our eccentrics a global technology which essentially continues the work of lawrence. built out of a coaxial gear we made a transmission with power. 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 when

the energy conversion coefficient remained low as in the previous version that followed already had 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 shafts so that each eccentric had its own. smoothing opinion and truth contours aligned along the eccentric rotation axis. in the noise and discontinuity is problematic in the first model 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 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. back on consumption of the planet's resources reducing metal imports 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 ribbon cutting of their future factory outside of st petersburg it's a pet project of russian billionaire holding company own next some group to fanfare for friends journalist as well as st pete's governor valentino mikey and 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. 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. so technology. made its innovative addition to the up and coming you will deal project and 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 times. i'm sure it was new coal for his colleagues have built their business on being ahead of digital video curve and 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. licensing the basic there were. a lot both who are. you know all this digital video stuff. everywhere. and. so does the. leading. or. we have more of them. who are something. 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 l.-a cars word for it we take for granted or curse quietly about when we pressed play on our digital ports and gave specialist spent hours qualifying in clarifying. the elica see from tone scale is interesting because they're a group that's given the world several different products. they've produced colleagues for television and movie content. it's a team that works hard to keep on 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 thomson natives interested in emerging three d. technology giving birth to tree access it may have been avatars two thousand and nine release that made three d. a hot topic which reactions has long been in the business of making the experience

our user friendly future. presence the term three d.'s mainly associated with watching three d. material with the help of glasses. inevitably technology the trick was glasses will be phased down in favor of a more natural digital experience. where is material for glasses based systems needs just two channels of the two eyes in order to create a broader zone 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 a better image quality but there are a bunch of drawbacks such systems are rather complex still the rates and require a tremendous amount. data storage space also it's not easy to edit to compress to transmissible to receive such huge amounts of data applying an approach when just one more times of dacer information bad image depth is added to the existing

picture is more efficient because it makes use of the existing equipment and channels with data transmission that we're working mainly on problems of preparing three a serial of broadcasting receiving into coding. like we have developed special software. souls of these problems to use in studio conditions for enhancing previously prepared video material that were 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 triacs is three d. master kit 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 h.q. within the special economic zone and it seems they're expecting a flood of company years of work ahead before a full fledged tech if validation 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.
