before so please dear friends try to get teachers you know to actually think about it i could complain on t.v. all day long but one conversation from a friend or relative really could change many people's minds maybe but that's just my opinion. we speak your language. news programs and documentaries in spanish matters to you breaking news i want to turn to angles to the stories. you hear. the spanish. visit.

hello and welcome to technology update despite our five senses not everything is quite what meets the eye this episode looks to shed some light on devices they give us a glimpse i was hiding just out of sight. remember the earth was the center of the universe until copernicus and galileo came along man's origins were unknown before darwin changed everything and the notion that there was something smaller than an atom was nearly unthinkable until ernest rutherford. even today the quest to gaze beneath the surface just goes on and on. recently we took a peek through the glass walls of school cars hypercube many of russia's incoming innovators had gathered to attend the annual prize award ceremony the competition sifted through roughly fifteen hundred clever ideas all looking to come home with one of the five top honors winners were crowned for the top i.t.
11:31 am
project the leading innovation for helping society as well as a trio for best idea project and production ready invention but in addition to the award ceremony there was plenty of other innovation minded activity going on. competitors.

police say. a quick. evil doers. sniffer dogs have been used for this purpose for.
11:33 am
explosive detection but they have. a dog is really only able to work a maximum of thirty minutes before needing a rest. only. a dog isn't able to tell you the exact. it can only signal that something is there. to the explosive. very often putting their own lives at risk. every dog is different.
11:34 am
in the. field spectrometers can identify what. compounds the ones in the system so far have been selected for their usefulness in the field of both here and. can add. one significant. active substance. but they.
11:35 am
actually. so now it's a portable device and added new functionality to enable operators to use it effectively in the failed. so far these developers have delivered more than two hundred. at the moment they're under. cation with russia's interior ministry. clear orders from the country's biggest security agencies could. potential terrorists only think we ought to worry about but in reality the most dangerous things might be hiding in the. region to take a closer look at the make up of things. here at the institute

state physics scientists have a compact. technology update hope would help us get to the bottom of some of the longest running. got to admit that i had delusions of secret and discovering. to my apparently untrained mind it. was the best way to get the answers that we were looking for. now in theory there's a wide array of potential. for example. precise. and expensive and there's mass spectrometry which also carries a pretty hefty price tag. spectroscope expensive complex sample prep work excludes samples. limited and require extensive training in many cases spectroscopy is the best just
11:37 am
not for investigating. a coloring agent whose spectrum is too intense for us to observe any individual molecules vibrate. we would usually need to register in order to identify the composition of the substance in question in short the spectrum of the 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 their inspector are five thirty two as it's called on the market can't perform a litany of other tests to help massage my wounded pride maksim here show that a soda free from colorings heals the results we were looking for the three main peaks correspond to water sugar and acid thank you. well the voice can be used for nonscientific purposes that is for practical tasks for example in the analysis of
11:38 am
gemstones it's always interesting to know what impurities the gemstone has because they help us to find out more about the stone itself like to identify its origin. it sheaves this by creating and investigating what's called the scattering correctly to laser beam hits to molecules they become excited and begin to vibrate that scatters or refracts the laser light had a slightly altered wavelength the device is 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 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 spectrum every square
11:39 am
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. only devices such as ours can identify a layer of graphing which is this thin as one atom grows on the substrate material . in. the inspector team manages all this by employing a thirty made laser that emits a five hundred thirty two meter 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. they 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 a. patriarch's there are hidden dangers all around and the first to 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. is pretty close. but it will gradually go up. that extremely compact. by the nuclear disaster in fukushima japan well 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
11:41 am
a way to get people. to work designing. the device can help people better understand the risks that simply aren't visible example the paint used in. the right equipment. right now we already have a whole line of software products and devices for various smartphones. cell phones laptops books all with varying levels of complexity. from simpler and less expensive models to more sophisticated versions of the. 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
11:42 am
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 and simply taking that tradition into the future. the next version of. which we're calling conductor version. we're also working on a totally new generation of the device which will employ. at the moment though those plans are just 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's anxious to get that going because
11:43 am
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 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 three to six million devices per year. well and you will global demand. and again this is according to the marketing research report you
11:44 am
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 of where they found increased levels of radiation that could then 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. you can.

welcome back to technology update identifying external threats there's 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 foes since we can really only observe the consequences or symptoms of most illnesses doctors have always had to rely on reading between the lines they can often only narrow in on our ailments by process of elimination but on the back of many giant leaps forward in the past century in d.c. now have a greater arsenal at their disposal. for example they can be. showing the image of. pregnancy blood flow in their radioactive isotopes doctors to target specific
11:48 am
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. which has been giving doctors a glimpse. for more than one hundred years. discovered by accident has highlighted how gaining new insight into what was previously out of reach. the technical revolution. with images becoming. past the name of the game. properly. almost as. if we compare the latest x. ray equipment with previous models of course the first big difference is the
11:49 am
ability to refine the images. additionally the quantity as well as the quality of diagnoses. technology. recently. created. the company. started in the late eighty's. over the years and decades. 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 operates. at this point one of its main offerings is an entire set of x.
11:50 am
ray machinery for doctors that need to get a peek on the inside accuracy and image clarity her utmost importance which requires electron to take certain precautions. so obviously. these are a whole number of tests objects that allow us to evaluate various 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 the 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 static snapshots these are equipped with a linear x.
11:51 am
ray technology that allows easier scanning of mobility impaired patients and also enables technicians to focus in on one spot in particular by moving the detector along with the x. ray tube linear 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 to mo graffiti it involves scanning the patient's body to produce demographic images all slices of specific areas of the body then these individual layers of put together and could be looked at from any number of angles and certain parameters could 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. getting that three d. computer. isn't so easy. and only captures an area about twenty five millimeters wide so if the doc needs to check on
11:52 am
a large section of the body. 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 he 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 today a contribution has risen to thirty percent and we are in the process of increasing it to as much as fifty percent. in other words we're gradually replacing foreign components. to the.
