equipment. evil doers. sniffer dogs have been used for this purpose for. their great explosive detection but they have one major disadvantage a dog is really only able to work a maximum of thirty minutes before needing a rest. only after six to eight hours. a dog isn't able to tell you. it's found it can only signal that something is there by raising a poor or giving some other sign up to the explosive. very often putting their own

here was the best way to get the answers that we were looking for. now in theory there's a wide array of potential methods of analysis each possessing its own finish its in short comings for example. are exceptionally precise. and expensive then there's mass spectrometry which also carries a pretty hefty price tag infrared spectrum scopes can be less expensive complex sample prep work and excludes gas samples then there are traditional chemical analyses applications of which are more limited and require extensive training in many cases though spectroscopy is the best just not for investigating dark colored sodas. contains a coloring agent whose luminescence spectrum is too intense for us to observe any individual molecules vibrations that we would usually need to register in order to identify the composition of the substance in question in short the spectrum of the
10:36 am
coloring agent makes it impossible to observe any spectra of the combinational scattering which would be otherwise visible. but just because our idea was less than successful doesn't mean that the inspector are five thirty to market can't perform a litany of other tests to help. show that a soda free from colorings yields the results we were looking for the three main peaks correspond to water sugar and acid thank you. well this device can be used for nonscientific purposes that is for practical tasks as for example in the analysis of gemstones it's always interesting to know what impurities the gemstone has because they help us to find out more about the stone itself to identify its origin. it sheaves this by creating and investigating what's called the scattering when it correctly to laser beam hits the molecules they become excited and begin to vibrate that scatters or refracts the laser light had
10:37 am
a slightly altered wavelength the devices internal c.c.d. sensor measures the shift of the wavelength those alterations are then compared against the system's database of rom and shifts in terms of jim it allows anyone operating the inspector five thirty two to tell if they're looking at a fake or something much more precious. one of the achievements that we take pride in is the high spatial resolution of devices. this becomes especially apparent when the device is attached to a microscope. with a resolution of around one. you can obtain an individual ion spectrum every square my current of the surface. this enables us to present as a major player on the serious scientific research device market. one of our latest achievements is measuring graphing. but only devices such as ours can
10:38 am
identify a layer of graphing which is this thin as one atom grows on the substrate material . that. the inspector team manages all this by employing a thirty made laser that emits a five hundred thirty two metre wavelength the c.c.d. sensor is designed to work at room temperature and has been specially designed to suppress other physical processes like scatter. that can interfere. that means the resulting analysis is just as accurate as anything else out there on the market and does it in a matter of seconds and it's automatic recognition software alerts us to what's right in front of our noses but a knowable without specialized equipment even it places the. patriarchs pawn their hidden dangers all around and the first protecting yourself. to the plane. particles everywhere they come from the. naturally occurring

objects to drive the point home. showed elevated radioactivity. we can measure the radiation background radiation is pretty ciro point zero eight but it will gradually go up. extremely compact. by the nuclear disaster in fukushima japan while the immediate threats to those in the vicinity were clear right away the experience has left many people concerned about extraordinary and every day radiation. looking for a way to get people. to work designing. the device can help people better understand the risks that simply aren't visible. particles that are easily measurable but the right equipment.
10:40 am
right now we already have a whole line of software products devices for various smartphones. cell phones laptops books all with varying levels of complexity. from simpler and less expensive models to more sophisticated versions. but of course the idea of checking radiation levels is far from a new one ever since people understood the risk of radioactivity there's been the trusty but often cumbersome a geiger counter to measure it the device is characteristic clicking sound has long let the user know if the plate of food in front of him or her is safe to eat each audible click is an incoming radioactive particle being. since its introduction models have become more portable simply taking that tradition into the future. the next version. which we're calling conductor
10:41 am
version. we're also working on a totally new generation of the device which will employ. at the moment. that plans on paper to make the technological leap the company needs new investments which could be coming in the very near future. the company expects to hear back from. a sizable grant that could give them the resources they need to move those next generation radiation detectors from paper to the production line. the company is anxious to get that going because according to certain estimations there could be a major so. we can see fairly high demand across the world. especially in southeast asia and japan recently we ordered a marketing research report from a japanese company basically based on very calculations they believe that if these
10:42 am
devices were launched on the japanese market today in the first month we would sell around forty to fifty thousand of them and over the course of a year sales would total some five hundred thousand. from that point the market would stabilize and show its true capacity. overall the japanese market is. ready to accept some say three to six million devices per year. well annual global demand here and again this is according to the marketing research report would likely be around ten to fifteen million devices. and as a wise man once said knowing is half the battle. enables users to note on a unified map where they found increased levels of radiation that could in theory be used to inform government agencies or interested citizens with

a handful of accidents ingrained in our collective memories that information is of concern to people all over the globe presently there are some one hundred seventy five million living within seventy five kilometers of major nuclear reactors of course everyone's hoping for fully safe operations but now your own dosimeter is never more than an arm's length away.

some of these traditional chili lines they've been bred and developed and passed down from generation to. this is a told destruction of the culture of mexico by telling them i mean this this is not going to impact a swelling in mexico whatever happens here about the whole world now we're eating at about six in the in the local in the a in all boarding and so forth for. genetic engineering carbs why do you think this country is full of obese and sick people because we have a crappy food system. we

10:46 am
just click. welcome back to technology updates. identifying external threats is one thing but no profession is more to gain by piri beneath the surface than medicine with each new advance scientists are leveling the playing field against seemingly unseeable. since we can really only observe the consequences or symptoms of most illnesses doctors have always had to rely on reading between the can often only ailments by process of elimination on the back of many. in the past century now have a greater arsenal at their disposal. for example they can bombard our bodies with harmless. showing the image in real time of their high frequency poses are good for monitoring pregnancies as well as blood

flow in their radioactive isotopes which allow doctors to target specific organs often to check for cancer magnetic fields have also been mastered to keep an eye on soft tissues like the brain injured tendons but the granddaddy of them all is the x. ray which has been giving doctors a glimpse into. for more than one hundred years. the technique discovered by accident has highlighted how gaining new insight into what was previously out of reach and major david the technique revolutionized many diagnosis. with oversize film images becoming a standard in hospitals everywhere. in the past is the name of the game now armed with nearly instantaneous results. right away if. the need to properly. make modern day technicians work almost as. if we
10:48 am
compare the latest x. ray equipment with previous models but of course the first big difference is the ability to refine and archive the images. additionally it's increased the quantity as well as the quality of diagnoses. and in russia the first word of x. ray technology is a. health expo in moscow recently they showed off their latest wares they produced a range of high tech equipment all of it focused on getting past the barriers that nature's created. based in st petersburg the company is certainly no newcomer to the russian medical tech scene it was started in the late one nine hundred eighty s. team of engineers responsible for the first camera developed in the soviet union over the years and decades electron has slowly but surely improved and expanded the products it offers to the medical profession by the company's calculations it currently accounts for about twenty five percent of the markets in which it
10:49 am
operates. at this point one of its main offerings is an entire set of x. ray machinery for doctors that need to get a peek on the inside accuracy in which clarity most important which requires electrons to take certain precautions. so obviously. these are a whole number of tests objects that allow us to evaluate farias image parameters like this one which shows us the resolution that is the smallest objects you can see in a human body for example this test object is a specially made lead plate and has pairs of lines a different intervals within the space of one millimeter judging by how many line pairs we see we can figure out what the smallest element we can x. ray in the human body is there are also these objects that have varying densities which we used to conduct contrast sensitivity checks and there exists a great variety of such tests. in addition to offering traditional simple
10:50 am
static snapshots these are equipped with a linear x. ray technology that allows easier. patients and also enables technicians to focus in on one spot in particular by moving the detector along with the x. rays. x. rays minimize background image interference the next generation of technology that's been adopted the world over including a lot of russian hospitals that use it as well is computed tomography it involves scanning the patient's body to produce some graphic images or slices of specific areas of the body then these individuals are put together and can be looked at from any number of angles and certain parameters can be measured these cross-sectional images are used for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes so that the doctor can get a full picture of the patient's condition but getting that three d. computer. image isn't so easy circular only captures an area about
10:51 am
twenty five millimeters wide so if the doc needs to check on a large section of the body it can take dozens of spins around. the world over there are really only a handful of companies that are capable of producing equipment like this given the complexity and cost to develop it it should be no great surprise that here electro has teamed up with philips. this is the first full cycle innovative partnership of its kind in russia initially the russian side provided some fifteen percent of the components for the most part this included things like service aleutians and associated software. but. thirty percent were in the process of increasing it to as much as fifty percent. in other words.
