the faster longer lasting data transmitters and 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 in particular. last year we completed an order from. they needed a large network. based on our p d h. high functioning telecom relay stations for the far flung residence and resources of so many russian regions. necessity and its. client overseas 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

they were to ensure the viability of every invaluable uplink they'll 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 a local beverage producers have even higher purity standards to meet fortunately a filtration method pioneered by proms scientists is helping us quench our thirst for crystal clear. it is one of many companies to emerge from the ideas and talented minds of tomsk university in this case from the institute of street physics and material science wide filtration research is produced effective membrane methods but they're all things costly in limited in throughput volume defenders are discovered instead of straining water for harmful microbes and pollutants especially treated electrostatically charge material might be used to
9:39 pm
suck up these elements like a magnet. filters have found a happy customers in rural schools around terms cretin 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 fill some. purify it from microorganisms viruses and bacteria which is an important issue. the material was developed quite successful. only after that an idea emerged 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 to fix. it so how can this substance help work

in bandages known as it can remove infections caused by harmful bacteria without requiring or scription of any biopic medication applied widely described help slow the trend of increased resistance to such struggles as well as offering a solution for patients like this tomsk men 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 when we see cultures from the wound we discovered an infection of puritan bacillus one of the most virulent pathogens susceptible to and civic 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
9:41 pm
when i 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 layers this secret to their success however lies in the absorbent microfiber layer between these micro fibers are dotted with tiny crumpled particles of an aluminum based nano powder gusted 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 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 the sense that material is toxic to the infection placed on its surface and it 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 are resistant to antibiotics or not. while the food is pain a vivid picture of the video of alice dressing in action natural 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 of. the way we discreetly 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 the epithelium is restored almost completely pain is either considerably reduced or entirely eliminated all this
9:43 pm
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 this is a material whose properties were first theorized increasingly tested and released his products only in accordance with the stranger regulations that relate to health impacting every missed white water filtration in medical treatment having passed through this long road from principle to practice. if you develop bandages are set for sale beyond tomes 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 as the main research and development center for the massive russian petrochemicals conglomerate seaboard stretching polymers to the 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 annually this means everything from liquefied gases and polymers to rubbers lubricants some fertilizers and might 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 wrong petroleum resources are exported before these value added products can be made only to be refined and processed for great profit abroad subordinate specialist said are increasingly taking that work upon themselves by
9:45 pm
generating cutting edge products above and beyond international standards are. a key product in the 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 in a 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 blood balloons are simply headed for a more eco friendly future well that's an easily understandable slogan producing the rubber on which that green future will ride turns out to be a bit more complicated and the u.s. does tasked with giving subordinates clients. all rubber basis on which the new tires will be made and some of that samples have already been taken to test. your. campaign has begun in europe the hopes to label all tires according to specific
9:46 pm
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 but also for the environment. before she would put any of its tire producers under orders to switch over production entirely new testament 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 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 bigger scale specimen to supply its international partners in order to get
9:47 pm
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 so we have an up to date politan so lation 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 in testing with thai companies and outlining the main conditions of all cooperation here we can adjust the process and the robbers properties be full moving to the full scale industrial production stage with a practically finished product of the time. we said 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 tomes 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 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 high tech trends and soon to be at the heart of automobile power train it's. a long involved 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 you're sure it's cheaper to repair them our prize for the repair is lower than for buying substitute gears in this case from germany but his 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 along the teeth in the process the key limitation is that only one point of contact along the line pushes that i'll put gear at one hundred percent efficiency and
9:49 pm
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 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 overhearing. though there are three stages in the development of our eccentrics a global technology which essentially continues the work of lawrence. dillon out of a coaxial gear we made a transmission with. us. this first stage device had the upside of low manufacturing costs 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 in the previous version that followed already have
9:50 pm
increased efficiency with almost equal energy input and. it's a 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 shapps so that each eccentric had its own. smoothing the pinion and to contour aligned along the eccentric rotation axis could cut back on the noise in 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 a mere one hundred percent while maintaining the whole line of contact along. with this gear truth is the most environmentally friendly innovation in the last one hundred years of machine building. consumption of the planet's resources reducing
9:51 pm
metal inputs by roughly thirty percent. 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 economy car said to be russia's first homegrown hybrid june two thousand and eleven so the ribbon cutting of their future factory outside of st petersburg it's a pet project of russian billionaire holding company next some group to fanfare for friends journalists as well as st pete's governor. 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 a reduction gear manufacturing with a fundamentally new principle of making cog wheels the. solution which considerably
9:52 pm
reduces the size and mass of the gearing in the end product. serving other technical specifications this is extremely important for us because weight and eventually the final cost are crucial when we're talking about the energy supply for the car. so technology market of homesickness made its innovative addition to the other thing coming you'll be a 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 is one of the best known times tech firms ella cotton i'm sure it was new coal 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 nine hundred eighty eight from a university laboratory where digital television seemed 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
9:53 pm
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. lessons in the basic pickle which are. a lot of companies who are. you know all this digital video stuff. everywhere simple player. in the video so doesn't matter where we are 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 on by the world's biggest players and they're not in the business of taking eloquence word for it we take for granted or curse quietly about when we
9:54 pm
press play on our digital puts specialist spent hours qualifying in clarifying. the ele could see from tone is interesting because they're a group that's given the world several different called ics i don't want to go look they've produced products for television and movie content. 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 codecs. in two thousand and seven l. a car decided to combine its video expertise with another group of times 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 reacts this is long been in the business of making the experience our user friendly future. presence in terms three d.
9:55 pm
is mainly associated with watching three d. material with the help of glasses that inevitably technology that requires glances will be phased down in favor of a more natural beautiful experience. where is material for glasses based systems needs just two channels for the two eyes in order to create a broader zoom for serious competition various systems require significantly greater numbers of channels all cameras from five to eight or even up to twenty eight as a result will have a better image quality there are 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 transmit all to receive such huge amounts of data applying approach when just one more type of data or information about image depth is added to the existing picture is more efficient because it makes use of the existing equipment and channels the
9:56 pm
data transmission. where working mainly on problems of preparing for a serial of broadcasting receiving into coding. but i have developed special software not so many souls these problems they use in studio conditions where in hunting previously prepared video material but also in real time broadcasts so the necessary equipment would be the same do lens 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 tree axes three d. master kits 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. is already looking to branch out and build
9:57 pm
a separate each to within the special economic zone and it seems they're expecting a flood of company there's still years of work ahead before as a full fledged hold right to the foundation 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.
