a new. they could be the first products. just like a pharmaceutical company so we need distributors pharma additional events are good for attracting investors. many times. using our technology we have money. for the rest we still need to find. the country. as a kind of clearinghouse for tomorrow and one of those is photonics whose roots were laid in russia but it's exploded into an international player. the firm has

developed a new kind of laser scalpel for dental surgery you could find uses just about anywhere that doctors currently employ a blade. well . they did have a very good reason. on the first a total of ten russian companies were singled out at the tech success.

organizers designed the competition to acknowledge the country's fastest developing and most innovative small and medium sized businesses as well as boost their profile on the world stage coming into the ceremony the list had already been whittled down to thirty companies which represented the entire spectrum of industries and regions across russia to. create a company hardware maker enter school and a handful of medical firms on the lookout for the next device all made to keep us all on our feet another one of those in the top ten c l r four cents for electronic archive. catalog but it's also one of the. co-producers these.

are all about documentation and just files for. you can also be used for some of the more. for example the push to museum of fine art in moscow is in the process of digitizing many of its most treasured works capturing the timeless beauty of the paintings and objects that grace its walls and hollows requires more than just a simple. city around the me too thousands. proved to the point. as far as we know everyone switched to digital devices. there is
9:35 am
a wide range of devices he. presents. unmatched anywhere in the world. digitization needs the pushkin museum has turned to. company specializing in super high resolution images they claim their system is the best way to get a top notch completely objective representation of priceless pieces of art. don't have to take the paintings down from the walls they do need to set up and calibrate the light just right doing so ensures the resulting image is an entirely accurate reproduction of the painting as it is in real life but today the resolution of even the best. exceeds twenty. museums purposes simply isn't enough. to develop an entire set of technologies that allows their technicians to boost picture resolution without warping the image or losing any data through

stitching software composition this requires a bit more ingenuity than you might think. instead of just snapping the whole painting at those takes individual pictures of each section to avoid distorting the original demands what's called a shift lens at the root is a camera with the usual c.c.d. sensor which is what converts to incoming photons into a digital image however the lens itself is made to rotate around the center following light and information to the stationary c.c.d. sensor the more separate pictures the higher the resolution. a painting for twelve sections yields a two hundred forty megapixel picture such a clear image. damage. come to the conclusion that the different pieces of og need to be filmed using different color palettes typically this consists of two hundred fifty six color fields just for this movie insufficient for example when we
9:37 am
work with complex pieces of art. in such cases we use extended. to fifteen hundred color fields. to ensure that we give the best possible match. the resulting images are so precise in terms of detail and color and they can serve as the master print against which future potential fakes could be compared these kinds of super high rez unbelievably accurate reproductions are the first word when it comes to archiving masterpieces and even for the creation of high quality catalogs. or two dimensional scanning methods do the job for paintings and pictures like these they only give us one side of the story when we talk about three d. objects that means all kinds of additional information is hiding just out of sight . in places like the fair a pint of monastery technology ensures that no detail is left behind the aging interiors of this beautiful example of medieval russian art has been filmed and put

on display for all to see and treasure. here still use the same shift when set up to take additional steps to ensure light is properly evenly cast on the segment that they're filming the images they get are indispensable for stores as they study and understand what exactly needs to be done to keep things like the dionysus fresco around for future generations to enjoy. and the technology employed here has benefits if you never make it out to the fair part of monastery yourself thanks to his pictures you can explore the walls that are survive centuries and you can rest assured knowing that you're seeing the frescoes exactly as they are in real life the color palette is a difficult the lighting presents the image as it was intended. crucially the proper perspective of the arcs and curves are kept intact as a result of the shift lens. therefore you could almost feel the glare of heavenly inspiration jumping out through your screen. but there's another kind of scanning
9:39 am
out there that involves a near constant monitoring of the skies this is the moscow ground station of a company called scan x. which is recognized as one of the top thirty innovative companies tech success and we mentioned earlier it all started with rather simple computerized weather stations worked out by moscow state university researchers in one thousand nine hundred one the company developed the weather data reception stations which proved useful for schools and state agencies alike but their big breakthrough came in the mid ninety's when they decide to revolutionize the field of data reception. was. designed and built a so-called personal data reception station but it was unlike others in that it was much smaller for example as there is so three satellite reception stations measure twelve damage one like this one which is about three meters and needed wild one hundred people to maintain it what they want to have achieved is that even a person who is not very good with computers. parade the system in the course of

two days but it can also be installed on many roads and streets small size and weight. as satellites cas overhead images from space are being down to scale x. is receivers for this company the main idea is to be able to get to the pics in real time and they have to set up a network big enough to spend the entire country. in russia itself to scan this equipment the sky is full force its own centers as provide the kid for universities as well as state weather emergency resource monitoring agencies in total scallops has played over two hundred fifty stations across the globe. doesn't operate its own satellite. what it does do is allow for the images to reach those who need them faster and more conveniently than otherwise possible but they're more than just space imaging middle men there technicians have to rework the pics to highlight just what they're looking for. their images which can be

their personal computers is a fundamental change whether good or bad people are going to use it to their benefit depends on us. and how we teach people to use it but it's for the best way i mean we can't ignore the problems that the old faces in the war. that montra lies at the heart of scan x. is cause are you web sites where anyone can monitor potential environmental problems they've created a similar site especially for government agencies to keep an eye on emergency situations for space there's nowhere for forest fires to hide and scan it's going to also help both the authorities and anyone really capture things like oil spills which may not necessarily be obvious to the untrained eye on first glance. then of course some of those shots can be used to simply check up on how construction is progressing in preparation for the olympic games in sochi with two years left until the opening ceremony you can witness the lansky being changed right before your

eyes. over the years scan it has accumulated a sizeable archive of all their uploaded data all told they've got more than two hundred terabytes of space images on record all of which they hope will make the world a more transparent place. through their attention to open innovations forum given that it was spread out over some twenty thousand square meters of exhibition space and there were more than one thousand innovative works on display we probably could have done several shows just on the companies in technology present over the coming months don't be too surprised to see more about some of those innovators mentioned at the top. despite what event organizers would have liked not all big announcements were a meeting from moscow there were quite a few other important bits of news items in the world of tech recently as well more on them right after the break.
