a quick. evil doers. sniffer dogs. are great at explosives. but they have one major disadvantage a dog is really only able to work a maximum of thirty minutes before needing a rest.
11:31 pm
it can only signal that something is there. to the explosive. very often putting their own lives at risk. every dog is different. in the.
11:32 pm
field spectrometers can identify what. compounds the ones in the system so far have been selected for their usefulness in the field both here and. can add. one significant. active substance.
11:33 pm
any kind of substance actually we didn't invent it we just made it 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 if they get the all 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. mind we've come. to take a closer look at the make up. here at the institute state physics scientists have a compact. technology update hoped would help us get to the bottom of some of the longest running popular so. that i had delusions of unlocking secrets
11:34 pm
and discovering. untrained mind. was the best way to get the answers that we were looking for. now in theory there's a wide array of potential. benefits and short comings for example. and expensive then there's mass spectrometry which also carries a pretty hefty price tag. spectroscope expensive complex sample prep work excludes samples. traditional. applications of which are more limited and require extensive training in many cases spectroscopy is the best just not for investigating. a coloring agent.
11:35 pm
just too intense for us to observe any individual molecule 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 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 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 set your acid thank you. well the voice can be used for nonscientific purposes but he's 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
11:36 pm
when a correctly tuned a laser beam hits the 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 gyms 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 ion spectrum every square my current of the surface. this enables us to present as
11:37 pm
a major player on the serious scientific research device market. one of our latest achievements is measuring graphing. only devices such as our can identify a layer of graphing which is this thin as one atom grows on the substrate material . like. 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 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 background radiation is pretty close. but it will gradually go up. the ideal for that extremely compact. by the nuclear disaster in fukushima japan 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
11:39 pm
device can help people better understand the risks that simply aren't visible for example the paint used in. the right equipment. 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
11:40 pm
models have become more portable is simply taking that tradition into the future. the next version. which we're calling dr version. we're also working on a totally new generation of the device which will employ. at the moment though. 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 according to certain estimations there could be a major. we can see fairly high demand across the
11:41 pm
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 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 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
11:42 pm
a unified map 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. admission free credit taishan free in-store charges free. range means free risk free studio time free. old free broadcast quality video for your media projects

11:45 pm
welcome back to technology update 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 lines they can often only narrow in on our ailments by process of elimination on the back of many giant leaps forward in the past century m.d.'s now have a greater arsenal at their disposal. for
11:46 pm
example they can bombard our bodies with harmless ultrasonic waves 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 our bones and lungs for more than one hundred years. the technique discovered merely by accident has highlighted how gaining new insight into what was previously out of reach these major dividends the technique revolutionized many diagnoses processes with oversize film images becoming a standard sight in hospitals everywhere but that's all in the past digital is the name of the game now armed with nearly instantaneous results doctors can see right away if they successfully snap the needed pic properly. more flexible apparatus
11:47 pm
make modern day technicians work almost as effortless as clicking a mouse. if we 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 digitally. additionally it's increased the quantity as well as the quality of diagnoses we perform. and in russia the first word x. ray technology. 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. by a 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
11:48 pm
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. ray machinery for doctors that need to get a peek on the inside accuracy and image clarity most important which requires electrons to take certain precautions. so obviously. these are a whole number of test 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. rate in the human body is there are also these objects that have varying densities
11:49 pm
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. ray technology it allows easier scanning of nobility 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 two more graphic images or slices of specific areas of the body then these individuals 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.
11:50 pm
computer. image isn't so easy circular only captures an area about 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 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
11:51 pm
components with. the country. which takes us. to the days of peter the great moment. is work on a revolutionary kind of.
11:52 pm
structures. and. what we do here is considered a priority for the limited physical. and is currently the biggest medical project being developed by the russian academy of sciences. supported by the ministry of industry and trade. provided a grant to stimulate and implement this project.
11:53 pm
makes the whole in. such a construction. these much cheaper to operate. around twenty five dollars per. one hundred thousand dollars. making.
11:54 pm
this kind of m.r.i. machine very small. space to install it's all a big m.r.i. can take up to. the hospitals and clinics this is important to totally reconfigure our mob geria. currently about half of the cutting edge. they've already finished. the team's effort has been focused on getting a full body. scanner ready for production. they should have completed in about two to three years' time. so hopefully the whole team is open
11:55 pm
world of possibilities once you start looking. but that's all for this revealing edition of technology update. enjoy the ride. the imperial presidency barack obama ran for president in two thousand and eight as an alternative has expanded to some of the more appalling aspects of the. state that he inherited in the name of security. the rule of law and other constitutional rights. the trip through the country. the. clear evidence from north to south. the roots of iraqi tragedy.
