easier. but often simply catching the particles isn't enough to significantly reduce the risk of infection in hospitals life threatening micro organisms have to be destroyed and for that employs a multi-stage system against those harmful particles this is the crude filter which removes the big particles this is the ionization and ozone generation this is the find purification filter capable of capturing particles that are already ionized and finally this is the absorption and catalytic filter which kind of. pollutants. in other words. we have the ventilator the blues are at the clean air but to better understand this let's break it down a little more after the particle filled air passes the simple pre-filter there electrodes are bombarded with a tin kilowatt charge this charge comes in handy later when the particles stick to polypropylene fibers becomes

a static electricity but the charge also splits oxygen molecules creating ozone using something called the corona discharge method the resulting rich oxygen environment is toxic to all the little bacteria viruses and fun guy which means this filter does more than simply get rid of simple dust and dirt given that it can be a matter of life and death at hospitals just to make sure that all the particles and harmful microbes that go in don't come out here in their testing lab you can see that the air blowing out of the filter is free from all those that were there as it entered so whether it be in coffee shops or operating rooms technology make sure that the air we breathe is as clean as possible. in north of years academic cluster you're never much more than a short walk away from the siberian forest along the way you can run into all kinds of people engineers and even fitted with the latest military hardware.

but don't worry these aren't real gunmen they're just dress the part to show off the latest thermal weapon site developed at the institute of sydney conductor physics here in novosibirsk. may now we'll try to locate the three fighters with sniper rifles who have hidden themselves in there somewhere here in this forest some wearing white vans or some ordinary come a flash as you can see we can spot any of them with just the naked eye. i'm trying to find the hidden goldman well you. can monitor the process at the same time on the screen. there's one. he's hiding behind a tree will encounter flies with a forest in the background before it would be hard to spot him even if the visibility were normal.

down on the other side of a small man and. i can just see the edge of his face and hood. the third one a little his in an abandoned construction site in the corner of a dark room with a metal grating. with him so we found all three fighters it's hard to hide from a thermal site. in terms of image processing i believe we're the leaders. we use a powerful processor that we've developed. it's based on very promising technology called high performance reconfigurable computing. because it gives us a very large optical bond with them and is nearly two times more energy efficient. it can run for four hours with only four double a batteries consuming three watts of energy. now spotting those potential bad guys with such ease. work

because of the powerful image processor within the site despite its low energy demands it still produces image quality that's second to no other non cool thermal site all the computing power is packed onto a series of circuit boards assembled by the skilled team of engineers know it may look like a never ending maze of copper silicone and plastic to you or me but to those that built it it's a thing of computing elegance. trying to obtain as much functionality as we could while keeping it all as small as possible we have a microprocessor capable of running at a frequency of five hundred meg. the programmable logic is comparable to a chip from a pentium it has several dozen megabytes of memory. in such a small package so this isn't the limit of what we can do and we're already looking into how it can be made smaller and better. traditionally the best thermal sites

had to employ cryogenic cooling but that made them both bulkier and far more expensive but thanks to recent advances those from the institute of silly conductor physics can offer us the best of both worlds. we figured out. how to distribute power in terms of the range. averaging it out along the whole spectrum. in such a way that the signal coming from long distances is the same as from a short distance. prize for these cool thermal sites with micro ball in metric matrices is pulling drastically. we expect to be able to put such cameras in mobile phones in fifteen years in affordable mobile phones of course. in terms of image quality. they're close to expensive system. so despite its small size and light weight these newest sites allow us to see things previously

impossible on such devices whether we're looking straight into the sun or trying to spot something on the waterfront that's no problem for soldiers equipped with these sights designed and manufactured right here in siberia but if time is the only thing you need to kill there's one company that makes waiting for you less than punctual for a little more enjoyable. entertainment russian game designers and artists are hard at work to distract you from yours the games may seem simple compared to blockbusters like quake and modern warfare the amount of work required for these casual games is often overlooked a dedicated team has to collaborate together to take it from the initial idea to finished product and that's precisely what has assembled out here in novosibirsk as a result of their hard work there are by far the largest and most successful gaming company in eastern europe and based on what they've done lately they can clearly compete with the best that the west has to offer but they found that with accolades

and success ever growing considerations. kind of financial resources that you work with at the beginning and what kind now. thousands one could spend something like ten thousand dollars or even less to make a game that's completely competitive. today to make a game that would be a hit in its own zone. talking about casual games we don't speaking about major blockbusters in the hard cold gaming genre hardcourt only one has to spend in excess of hundreds of thousands of dollars. and that's true for one of the biggest titles the treasures of montezuma has proved so comfy among casual gamers that it's already on its third iteration it's ranked as high as number two on the u.s. i pad app store list of most games with each new version in the montezuma series the developers have to give players a reason to pony up the cash for the latest one and that's what seems to drive the

increasing costs as you can see it takes far more than a few clicks of the mouse to make an idea for a new game come to life and that's something that makes our success even more satisfying for these developers. actually just this last december we released our first game of the windows phone seven platform scold from frenzy to watching it was a pleasure to see that the game immediately shot to the top of the us marketplace it was the fifth most popular on that lists unfortunately i'm not ready to brag about any specific figures in terms of downloads because it's a new plant from and there's not yet enough information as to how much for example fourth plane is sealed in a day week month regardless the fact itself of being in the top list is rather nice . to know maybe it's because many of us yearn for a simpler life on the farm but whatever the reason farming games like this have proved to be a big success but nowadays it's not enough to release

a game on just one platform you have to cover them all to have a chance at a hit. where planning to develop and trade for more and more new titles and put them out and more and more new platforms not only for p.c.'s but also from max possibly sony playstation three up. so what's the answer the bespectacled ians the most ability is on the coasts not as high as they used to be. so with companies like al or round it's safe to say that sites like this are only going to become more common but it's no longer just teenagers and twenty somethings from middle age to retirees nearly everyone is getting in on the casual game bandwagon despite all the. devices now it's important to put them down every once in awhile and see the real world around us but in ways that will do with this edition of technology they will sue next time and enjoy the ride. of the.

cultures that so much different and there's a huge music to share power on the mark with libya intervention like in the specter of civil war libya's transitional way from the job he received is proving far more problematic.

it is easy to be easy if you.

politicians billionaires nobel prize winning economist they're all here at davos particular of the world economic forum i'm sure you've seen a barrage of headlines that coming out find out what's really going on. and well the world believes winand zine a few leaders are choosing to ditch davos and even capitalism for that matter and looking for an economic overhaul to a global financial fiasco will tell you about the clash of the forums it's good for the community good for the state and good for your business as well

actually there's real art to that the art of deception that is a popular appliance manufacturer is painting a perfect picture while leaving an entire community in the dark well tell you how the company whirlpool is putting one town through the spin cycle. it is thursday january twenty sixth going to washington d.c. i'm liz wall and you're watching our t.v. . well it's day two of the economic powers that be in davos at the annual world economic forum leaders from across the globe are set to engage in a series of round table discussions and at repairing the world's broken economic system the meeting comes as the crisis in the eurozone threatens to plunge the region back into a recession and bring the global economy down with it but as we see one economic

summit after another play out well this form be any different and being a real force for change our own laurin lister joining me a little earlier today from davos with the latest from today's meeting. well as you can imagine liz the eurozone as very much taken the official center stage after yesterday we heard from angela merkel which i talked about with you guys and she said be patient we're going to stick to this fiscal integration we're going to join together for more europe that's a solution just hang in there we heard david cameron come on stage today for his remarks which were drew a very large audience a very large line to see and as you would expect he talked a little trash on the euro zone and talked a lot of trash on the solutions that leaders of come up with that have been championed by angela merkel saying that in order for a single currency to survive in the case of the euro zone needs a number of things including a central bank including a way to do some kind of what sounds like he was amounting to euro bonds

a few other things to a need that it's not that the eurozone doesn't have all of these it's that they don't have any of these so pushing for more money more of a firewall more of a solution and we hear that not just from politicians we hear that from big wig investors like george soros who has been really pushing his plan for the euro zone which he's come out with in a book which leaders in the eurozone have not adopted so very much taking center stage but as you know as i've been talking about that's not the whole forum at all . speaking of solutions this year they were expected to discuss capitalism and rethinking the system is that the these are the political and business elites that of course have benefited from a capitalist system so are they really interested in talking about income inequality or is it all for the cameras. well you know that's the thing you can put whatever you want on the official agenda but what people are really going to do and what they're really going to talk about is whatever they're really going to do and

talk about and that's the status quo that they've benefited from then that's what you can expect yes we have seen people like klaus schwab who is the founder of the world economic forum talk about the problems with capitalism and how it's outdated in its current form but that's a same quote i've seen appear over and over again and all of the stories i've i've seen about the rethinking of capitalism it's the same quotes over and again coming from one debate yesterday morning on capitalism and a handful of billionaires talking about income inequality so while yes we have seen some focus on stage and in some of the content on the agenda you have to remember that a handful of billionaires and a couple of people that are concerned about capitalism and these issues are i hand full of the twenty six hundred people who are here many of which to talk business today at work and to continue on in the status quo many big corporations and big banks that have very much benefited from the current form of western capitalism and

when you hear really the establishment figures asked about western capitalism in its current form they're very much in favor of it they're not questioning it at all yesterday we heard that from brian moynihan c.e.o. of bank of america today i heard that from david cameron the u.k. prime minister when he was asked directly that question and as the political and economic leaders there the big wigs are all there in this one place some argue that this of that is just a bunch of pomp and circumstance rather than generating real solutions to world problems what is the feeling that you're getting over there. well the building i'm getting because you have to remember lives yes all of the sessions are going on but really what i'm seeing is the sidelines and the people that i'm talking to joseph stiglitz and brian moynihan and then a some of these guys most down to me the guys i'm talking to are the business leaders i spoke to a governor today i spoke to a couple of people that are our diplomats from from britain and for all of them the benefit today is the business deals are the meeting is the networking some of them

you know day two of davos and they hadn't been to a single session so for a lot of these people it is business and that's really the agenda also everyone kind of has an agenda even from the big wigs that are speaking whether it's investors or c.e.o.'s they have a reason for you know bill gates there's a press conference but it's to announce the money he's giving to aides george soros talks to the press has a prince lunch he has a new book out he's very much pushing that with the same kind of rhetoric that he's writing in the financial times and saying to everybody at the forum so every guy has an agenda live or a lord of the we also here you people are on twitter are saying about davos let's see if it matches up with what you are observing over there all over a willis he says a leaps hobnobbing with elise about elitist things pretty much what's wrong with the world and answer cain says that's a two bankers at the bar of

a fancy davos hotel they are talking about the crisis and smiling not quite sure what's so funny. so what do you think laura. yeah liz you do get that sense you don't hear a questioning of this system a rethinking of things really you hear solutions and concerns from the people who have been operating and benefiting from the system that we're currently in so and yes they are elites and many of them are the global one percent seventy billionaires politicians. all of these people they are very much the global elite so you can imagine that. this allusions they find in the problems they're talking about are very much the ones that pertain to them and there is kind of that that separation you definitely see that being pressed you feel like a little bit of a second class citizen i have to say sorry to hear that. maybe the occupy movement won't make you feel that way and i know that they are there they set up some igloos

outside of the do would you say that their message and their presence is affecting the dialogue there at all. you know i wouldn't say that it's affecting the dialogue because although we've seen discussion of occupy and the movements from again klaus schwab who's the founder of the world economic forum i've also heard snickering on the sidelines from businessmen and snickering at the occupy igloos that are here saying oh they really lack the numbers what i will say is if you're going to have a protest igloos are a really good way to go because i think that our key by has been mentioned in a lot more of the news stories that i've seen and then pretty much any of the other occupy protests that i've seen since this movement started in new york in wall street so i think they're getting some bang for their buck with the igloos as far as public awareness not sure if it really matters when it comes to the agenda of what's really going on and being discussed at the world i guess that's more

interesting to talk about igloos than ted lauren thanks for keeping us updated that was our t. is lauren lyster host of the capital account. and as the one percent thinks about how to tweak the capitalist system another group wants to radically change it and they are holding a forum of their own it's called the world social forum and it's taking place now in porto alegre brazil result president dilma rousseff decided to ditch the elites and instead attend an event which has brought together a medley of social movement groups from around the globe the event rivals the exclusive forum happening now in davos so can the world social forum shake things. enough to change the system but answer this question and more i spoke to mike norman chief economist of john thomas financial to start things off i asked mike what exactly do all these countries participating in this forum have in common take a listen. well i think what they have in common is an expression of

outrage of what we've seen policies which have resulted in massive income inequality around the world any quality that has risen to a level where it's even being noted in the elite is gathering in davos not that anything is going to be about it and there's the point i have to make is that while this is a great alternate davos if you will i'm not very optimistic that anything is going to come out of that simply because we see throughout the world policy is being dictated and dominated by these elites look we're not even talking about the failure of capitalism or the problems with capitalism as it exists right now it's not capitalism we're really talking about socialism for an elite group of people corporate socialism where policy by design around the world in the wealthy nations

and elsewhere has been fashioned to a degree where most of the public wealth of nations now flowing up to that top one percent and the result of this has created unstable economies it has created unstable social environments i don't see that changing any time soon which means that less for the ninety nine percent more for the one percent and a highly unstable economic system so this movement as it's you know it's a job as being anti capital last they're protesting the fact that capitalism is not working what bad a is the alternative. well first of all let's understand as i said before this is not capitalism this is clearly socialism for large institutions and an elite group in the world what will work look let's understand

something right now ok we hear a lot about maybe shortages shortages of energy shortages of food shortages of capital indeed shortages of money but we have none of that the only thing we lack really in the world today is moral leadership that's what we lack and i think that's where the focus is moving towards the understanding that look you know we're having policy being driven by people by leadership which is morally bankrupt and the attention has to first start there and that's what i think these alternate movements and occupy wall street have drawn attention to from this perhaps we'll start to see political change with sword of just or rights the system but for now i think if you look at what we're seeing happening in europe if we're look if you look at what we're seeing happening here in the united states it only seems to me to be an intensification of this well flow to the top one percent

creating a highly unstable economic environment and that might add how successful do you think they are are they will be and getting their message out as a rival to the world economic forum. well look i'm rooting for them unfortunately i'm not very optimistic i just don't see where they have the political leverage right now to really affect any sort of large change ok most of occupy wall street if you look at when that was going on here in the united states. no connection with the political process it was mocked broadly so i think it still has a long way to go the thing of the positive thing that came out of it in my opinion was it did draw attention to this problem of inequality which is a big problem and i think just the fact that even if they're talking about it

almost in jest in a place like davos it least it's something that they're thinking about so that's progress and you know this past year has been a and sturrock year of protests around the globe and will that play our part in making that foreign event more relevant this year. well i think so and the other thing that's a recognize is i don't believe that the protests and the outrage is going to go away if anything i think it's going to be more established it's going to become more organized it's going to become more widespread in the coming years eventually you will start to see it have an effect on the political process we may hopefully get some change out of it some much needed change but we're still a long way. from that sort of thing happening but the first step is just a realization that the system is broken something needs to be done you know that's the step we're on right now. and i also want to turn over to specifically here in

the u.s. president obama as sate of the union speech a couple of days ago he said you know i was very optimistic. saying pointing to the fact that the economy is getting better he is playing making it seem like it's a fact that it's getting better but you know we see crisis a crisis from the eurozone to uprisings over a city that enforces rising inequality where is the proof to back up the president's claim. well the proof is in the data over the last couple of years but the problem is you know going forward now we see the united states embarking on the very policies that europe has embraced over the last several years was staring a cuts in social programs all the sorts of things which lead to a broadening of poverty a weakening in the economy look the economy here it's much better than it is in

europe but we're only grown we're growing two percent where way below trend there are millions and millions of people still out of work something like forty million people in this country on food stamps so the rebound from the very very low depths of two thousand and nine yes it was a rebound but by any comparison to historical periods of the economy coming out of a deep recession it's been very weak and that's precisely because of the policies that have been in place and coming into this year and twenty thirteen we have an intensification of this austerity of spending cuts of all the sort of safety nets that have maintained some sort of economic growth in the united states and i'm afraid that that's going to lead to much slower growth more unemployment more

poverty and though that's the real legacy that you pass along to future generations it's not the debt as we see look s. and p. downgraded the credit rating of the united states and what happened in interest rates went down to a record low they're practically had zero all across the structure the real legacy we pass along is not that debt it's the poverty that we create by not making the investments we need to make in infrastructure in schools in education in basic science research and development in health care all those things represent the real capital the real well. of the nation and we're just not doing that is why we are seeing these uprisings in these protests thank you for coming on the show that was chief economist john thomas financial like norman. well president obama is on a three day visit to five states hill need to win in november in order to keep his job his next stop tonight in michigan the state has seen rising.
