a day top stories this hour one of russia's richest men says if not me then who says he sets his sights on the prime minister's position. at all events as big politics instead of a liberal pro-business party aiming to become the second largest after 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 one third of u.s. troops from the country. and london is accused of harboring foreign fugitive thought it was revealed the expwy gyptian finance minister is living openly in britain despite a thirty year jail sentence back home use of that has gone he was convicted of corruption and power and used for personal profit but fled. to my colleague he'll be here and listen thirty minutes as the news continues in the meantime r.t. brings you all the latest high tech gadgets and state of the art developments in russian science technology update is next.
5:33 pm
welcome to technology update and welcome to tomes a city carved over 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 incubator for an expanding cluster of innovative businesses since our last episode. two thousand and eleven forum its fourteen to any will 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 consciously forward looking hot topics like revamping nuclear technology revitalizing cities

fields with fierce international competition for new ideas and markets but they've already shown their ability to corner important mishits is applying top quality microelectronics systems to the specialized needs of siberia's economy river transplant was long lifeline for isolated cities like homes and it remains a vital link on the latest equipment to stay competitive and safe. new pinpoint leadership river comes in and dances over previous generations provide the location of potential hazards the day boat buoys or the inevitable siberian ice flows at an accuracy of just a metre and a half the novelty of the raid 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 volt this means high reliability of all its components we expect the mean time before.
5:37 pm
to be thirty thousand which means years and years of uninterrupted operation as for operating range the key difference from existing systems is that this one has no blindspot. the manufacturing of the right body is similar to the production of printed circuit boards it's very efficient so we hope it will allow us to cut prices significantly in the future. the river system is just one of the many destinations for. states. as technology has improved the price of these devices has come down dramatically leading to increased demand for the longer lasting data transmitters and to. keep right on expanding. our customers include oil and gas drilling companies and those that require. a mobile phone operators in particular. last year we completed in

network siemens will send some of their 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 a lot of technology we are planning to include. when that comes online later this year mcclellan will have made yet another contribution to the vital infrastructure 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 enough for leisure activities like a lazy day out fishing or the occasional summer swim so you probably won't catch anybody drinking it straight from the source and local beverage producers have even higher purity standards to meet fortunately
5:40 pm
a filtration method pioneered by 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 universities in this case from the institute of string physics and material science. filtration research is produced effective membrane methods but they are often costly and limited in throughput volume the founders of discovered that instead of straining water. pollutants especially treated electrostatically material might be used to suck 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 state regulations with perfect and near perfect results often stumping testers the best news the magic material appears to have even broader application.
5:41 pm
initially this material was meant to filter. purify it from microorganisms viruses and bacteria which is an important issue. the material was developed quite 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 rework in bandages known as it can remove infections caused by harmful bacteria without requiring any 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. at the base of the skull with
5:42 pm
a significant lesion. cultures from the wound we discovered an infection of pure and bacillus one of the most virulent pathogens hardly susceptible to and to big serial treatment like antibiotics using this material we saw the wound cleared up rather quickly and 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. composed of. fabric layers. lies in the absorbent microfiber layer between these micro tiny. particles of an aluminum based. on the layer. the key to the materials effectiveness is the positive charge these
5:43 pm
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. but there are currently no analogs in terms of functionality as a rule material is toxic to the infection placed on its surface in our case simply extracts microorganisms viruses and bacteria from the infected areas whether the wound is a cut 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 view of alice dressing in action that actually 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
5:44 pm
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. start being healed from the bottom up eliminating the need for 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 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 electra static activity responsible for the pain relief effect does the addressing serve similar purposes for both long term and more urgent treatment as with the concept for filtering one. they came before this is
5:45 pm
the material properties were first theorized increasingly tested and released only in accordance with regulations that relate to help impacting arenas. in medical treatment having passed through this long. practice. in the meantime the lead in the institute behind it are busy pushing their own success story to see what other exciting results might lie ahead. town success stories are also coming from the special economic zones north campus many. offense away from the plant that's long been one of the mainstays the main research and development center for the massive russian petrochemical 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
5:46 pm
of petrochemical products the firm puts out annually this means everything from. polymers to rubbers some fertilizers. but these beakers are the basis of so many materials we take for granted in our comfortable lives a great deal of 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 are increasingly taking that work upon themselves by generating cutting edge products above and beyond international standards. a key product in the broad spectrum of 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 focus on going green to turn green tires doesn't mean you should be expecting a ship to share. anytime soon. simply headed for
5:47 pm
a more eco friendly future easily understandable slogan producing the green future turns out to be a bit more complicated. with giving. basis on which will be made and some of it samples have already been taken to test. europe hopes to label. 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 for those who are inside also for the environment. any of its tire producers to switch over.
5:48 pm
to make the mix just right green means getting rid of waste in the production process and chemicals that. fills it. even wearing tires that are minimal resistance to the motion generated by the saving on atmosphere soiling emissions. testing it's clear the blade cuts both ways and the trick is balancing complex tradeoffs. has completed this small stage development and needs bigger specimen to supply its international partners in order to get a feel for how. it's necessary to proceed to the so called pilot stage we have an insulation letting us model. specific types of quantities which gives us something to work with. companies and outlining the main condition. you know we can adjust the. be full moving to the full scale
5:49 pm
industrial production stage with practically finished. filling innovative compounds to international leaders like. there's an even better chance that tomorrow. come with a touch of. where the rubber meets the road is. each and every one of their many moving parts as a potential impact and another company reinventing car design. based out of the first building of the new special economic zone technology market is at the heart of. and soon to be at the heart of the automobile power train. along invalid gearing most commonly a breakdown of the flank of the gear teeth. in the gear to the missing tooth and
5:50 pm
slips and holds the whole system. it's cheaper to repair them for the repair is lower than for boeing 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 involute gears power is transmitted along a single line of action tangent to both gears based shifting pressure on 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 points shift restricts your speed and size technology market has impressed the makers of all kinds of machinery by promising a solution that simultaneously. limited speed transmission company president and engineer victor reasons that power demands for heavy machinery will remain consistently high but this size weight and cost of providing the necessary power could be cut several times. they've named eccentrics.
5:51 pm
there are three stages in the development eccentrics technology which essentially continues the work. we made a transmission with power. at this first stage the device had the upside of low manufacturing costs. like noise and intermittent discontinuities in the transmission ratio we managed to eliminate the noise but the energy conversion coefficient. as in the previous version followed already had increased efficiency with almost equal energy input. allowed to transfer this force with a ratio several times greater than equivalent involute gear teeth the grandfather concept was the. german engineering. technology market kept model but with parallel shafts so that each eccentric had its own. smoothing the opinion and. the long the eccentric rotation axis.
5:52 pm
noise problematic in the first. traditional. contact is present along the entire line instead of a single point finally developed. which have increased the energy conversion coefficient. this is the most environmentally friendly innovation in the last one hundred years of machine building. consumption of the planet's resources reducing metal imports 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. the economy said to be russia's first homegrown hybrid june two thousand and eleven cutting of their future factory outside of st petersburg it's a pet. project of russian billionaire holding company own next some group who
5:53 pm
hosted the fanfare for friends journalists as well as st pete's gov. technology market may have been three time zones away but they provided a very important cog wheels. our colleagues. from the 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 product. serving other technical specifications 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 of the up and coming your project but we've still got quite a while to wait for a finished factory put it in mass production in the meantime let's head back out to
5:54 pm
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. for his colleagues have built their business on being a head of digital video curved in its most technically nuanced mishits forming back in one thousand nine hundred from a university laboratory where digital television light years in the future. video codecs constantly updated to process material according to the latest compression standards for professional or mass use it's the kind of programming mostly behind the scenes but provides the building blocks for some of the world's giants. who are. you know. every.
5:55 pm
in simple. so. we have more than companies who are. from. moscow state universities 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 eloquence word for it we take for granted our curse quietly about when we press play on our digital. specialist spend hours qualifying in clarifying. the from tone skews interesting because they're a group that's given the world several different products. and they've produced products for television and movie continent. it's a team that works hard to keep their quality. the industry leaders tend to change

5:57 pm
channels or cameras from five to eight or even up to twenty eight as a result will have better image quality but there are a bunch of drawbacks such systems are rather complex to operates and require a tremendous amount of data storage space also it's not easy to compress to transmeta all to receive such huge amounts of data applying an approach when just one more top of dates or information about image depth is added to the existing picture is more efficient because it makes use of the existing equipment and channels of data transmission. where working mainly on problems of preparing through a serial of broadcasting receiving into coding. 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 do stereoscopic cameras used to film
