that's where mcclellan's new pinpoint leadership in river comes in and dances over previous generations provide the location of potential hazards the day boats buoys or the inevitable siberian ice flows and inaccuracy 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 has no high voltage in it the peak power it 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 on soul the manufacturing of the right dolls 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 radar system is just one of the many destinations for me to run 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 and come charging based on our p.d. a. high functioning telecom relay stations for the far flung residence and resources of so many russian regions strategic necessity and a tall task. one client overseas six thousand kilometers of pipelines and some of

the world's most isolated regions so the transmitters that monitor their condition have to hold up largely on their own. most electronics are fairly temperature sensitive here mckown is testing their receiver transmitters from a bomb if if you have both all the way down to a frosty fifty zero. degree of expertise and experience the telecom big shots nokia siemens cited when selecting mclellan as a partner for its russian joint venture aimed at producing the backbone for the country's first nationwide four g. network nokia siemens will send some of their forces to the special economic zone in a project said to pump ten thousand l.t.e. base stations a year. brings its own science base and original solutions to the project particularly in the field of not. we are planning to. use it. when that comes online later this year mcclellan will have
5:38 am
made yet another contribution to the vital infrastructure they keep 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 pushing 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 a filtration method pioneered by scientists is helping us quench our thirst for crystal clear h two o. . is one of many companies to emerge from the ideas and talented minds of tomsk universities in this case for me institute of stream physics and materials science . wide filtration researches produce defective membrane methods but they're often costly and limited in throughput volume the founders of discovered that instead of
5:39 am
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 and 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 parlors 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. 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 and that's the developing resistance of
5:40 am
microorganisms to. so how can this substance help rework in bandages known as beautiful as it 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 tomsk men whose condition would otherwise be very tough to treat. when he came in we observed a fourth degree burn of the exhibits will be 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 answer big serial treatments like antibiotics using this material we sold of the womb cleared up rather quickly and that the cleaning period roughly coincided with the formation of new granular tissue as
5:41 am
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 been a change in movie 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 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 dressings locking them down in never letting go. there are currently no analogs in terms of functionality as a rule and he said think material is toxic to the infection placed on its surface
5:42 am
in our case 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 or not contribute to it while the food is pain a vivid picture of the video vella stressing in action that actually lifting of the microbes is still easier seen in the institute's laboratories can 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 cooled the way the disk really does take off the microbes he contacts. the healing process here happens in an entirely new why would he start being healed from the bottom up thus eliminating the need for skin grafts and no cause granulation tissue is formed the epithelium
5:43 am
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'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 just addressing served similar purposes for both long term and more urgent treatment as with the concept for filtering water that came before it and this is the material properties were first theorized increasingly tested and released as products only in accordance with the stringent regulations that relate to health impacting arenas light water filtration in medical treatment having passed through this long road from principle to practice. develops bandages are set for seal beyond. own ready this summer in the meantime up to lead in the instance you behind it are busy pushing the test of their own success story further to see what other
5:44 am
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 in 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 role petroleum resources are exported before these value added products can be made only to be refined and processed for great profit abroad
5:45 am
suborning the specialist said newest are increasingly taking that work upon themselves by generating 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 your 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 and the u.s. does tasked with giving subordinates clients the row. basis on which the new tires will be made and some of its samples have already been taken to test.
5:46 am
or words a campaign has begun in europe this hopes 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 seaboard puts any of its tire producers under orders to switch over production entirely and us test to make the mix just right green means getting rid of waste in the production process and chemicals that dirty road runoff or landfills it requires smooth ride even wearing tires that are 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
5:47 am
still seaboard has completed this small stage development and needs a bigger scale 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 so we have an installation letting us model and scale of the laboratory process in order to same specific types of rubble in large quantities which gives us something to work we've been testing with time companies and outlining the main conditions of all cooperation here we can adjust the process on the robbers properties the full moving to the full scale industrial production stage with a practically finished time. 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 tomsk where the rubber meets the road isn't the only place the efficiency

of modern automobiles to be in each and every one of their many moving parts has a potential impact and another company from tomsk is reinventing car design down to its 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 the automobile power train its fifty thousand a long invalid gearing damage is 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 used to 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 involuted gears 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
5:49 am
along the line pushes that health care 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 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 in cost of providing the necessary power output could be cut several times by what they've named eccentric cycloid old hearing. though there are three stages in the development of our eccentric cyclical technology which essentially continues the work of lawrence. dillard out of a coaxial gear we made a transmission with power level shafts and. this first stage the device had the upside of low manufacturing costs but it had some drawbacks like noise and intermittent discontinuities in the transmission ratio we managed to eliminate the
5:50 am
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 output of 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 engineer . a compact and costly technology marky kept the sequoia model but with parallel shapps so that each eccentric had its own. smoothing the pinion and two 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 the energy conversion coefficient to near one hundred percent while maintaining the whole line of contact along the teeth of this gear through thing is the most
5:51 am
environmentally friendly innovation in the last one hundred years of machine building a little coast back on consumption of the planet's resources reducing metal inputs by roughly thirty percent also 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 own next. to the fanfare for friends journalists as well as st pete's governor valentino mighty 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 outset of this project proposed a very original solution a reduction gear when you factor with
5:52 am
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 of weight and eventually the final cost are crucial when we're talking about the energy supply for the car. if you know my puter so technology tomes has made its innovative addition of the of incoming you'll be a 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 l.-a caught under a personal call from his colleagues and build 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 like years in the future
5:53 am
their bread and butter are video codecs constantly updated to process material according to the latest compression standards we did 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. people which are. local companies who are. you know all this digital video stuff could be used everywhere. so present where we are leading. or. we have more than companies who are something. moscow state university's graphics and media lab sets the standard in testing video
5:54 am
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 or curse quietly about when we press play on our dish while puts specialist spent hours qualifying in clarifying. the elica from tones is interesting because they're a group that's given the world several different called ics. they produce contacts for television and movie continent. it's a team that works hard to keep up their quality. about 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. technology giving birth to tree access it may have been avatars two thousand and nine release that made three d.
