that his rights and i'm sure some websites would make him into a hero or demand a boycott or closing of the forever very few people actually believe in freedom of speech for all they just believe in freedom of speech for people who agree with them but that's just my opinion. well in. the. face of you know.

pleasure to have you with us here on our t.v. today. alone welcomes technology updates on today's show christmas comes early from. a novel animation up brings films to the big screen. a moscow state university gives a whole new meaning to wearable technology but first media may still be a couple of days off but they've already been plenty of festivities this month. on top of the line. take no spark nano technology sensor was officially opened in the

town of troy just south of moscow. aims to become a launch pad for high tech startups by bringing together all the facilities and know how to develop and produce innovative goods all under one roof while the top. strong research base made it the natural choice of location the pog received large investments from russ nano and the company's chairman was there to make sure the money had been put to good use. about twenty five startups should already be created this year there are twenty five startups alone in the year the center was set up and i expect tens or even hundreds of startups to emerge out of here in the near future and today you see in the creation of these innovation powerhouses with your own naish. lasers are a key direction for techno spark so we went to a best of projects which is also part of the regional innovation cluster to see what's cooking the family run business has been producing ultra short pulls lasers for fifteen years it's emerged out of the birthplace of the laser believe it to

physical institute and they continue to work closely together. so second leases are already frequently used for increasing and cutting too often glass but the full spectrum of after cations for this type of laser is only just being realized however it's hard to imagine exactly how short a pencil second day is. then so second is one for trillions one millionth of a billionth of a second there a way more than two seconds in a second is the universe has existed so so puts it into context it's takes around three hundred million pencil seconds for us to blink. if you are travelling at the speed of light you would only move north point three michael b c one tenth the second which is about the size of a virus for such a miniscule amount of time the potential for this technology is immense. the main benefit of femtosecond lasers is the low level of heat transfer almost no heat is transferred to the surrounding areas the material is removed through

a process known as cold ablation in other laser systems remove material by melting it evaporation or micro explosions this is a completely new process because the intensity so far at the focal point. the material. instantly from the desired location. in such a short amount of time so that he does not have time to diffuse into the surrounding areas secularize that follows on from the first this method can be used with any material transparent no matter how hard or what its composition. so what about diamonds one of the hardest natural materials known to man beauty an exceptional solidness is what makes them prized by jewellers these properties that make them hard to keep secure. the crystal production corporation has been producing fine diamonds from the rough stones for fifty years. james have been to any of the dozens of sizes to choose from each polished to

a sparkling shine the company uses a second laser a unique id on each stone to prevent it from being counterfeited. but this form of marking has its limitations because one. can be removed so the company. institutes for a more permanent solution. traditional strength in a fundamental science and. construction device second laser is capable of creating a unique mob go deep within the diamond. the edging is so fine that it can't be seen with the naked eye. tensely to avoid damaging the surface so the laser beam penetrates the exterior unfocussed but is then intensified hundreds of thousands of times inside the diamond because this provides the

concentration of energy required to turn the diamond into graphite although still a form of carbon graphite block providing the contrast required for the id and the only we have. removing it would be to split the diamond into smaller stones which would trust the overall volume but the applications of femtosecond lasers extend far beyond jewelry which. many uses we have researched corrective i surgery with this laser in cooperation with a central clinical hospital we're also running a series of projects to examine high energy physics with this laser and others in our labs here. pinpoint precision offense so second lasers makes them ideal for nano surgery and grafting prosthetics directly to bone they use is also a range from engraving consumer electronics so high tech kitchen appliances while their potential for fixing silicon chips makes them indispensable in the computer

industry books whatever they're used for blink and you'll miss it these fish will opening of techno spark wasn't the only cause for celebration in december because christmas came early for some of the country's longest and most talented innovators and of course we went along to the main award ceremonies held this month. point by convention two thousand and thirteen got thoughts of buying in moscow's bellman university on the fifth of december the all singing all dancing and you'll event recognizes bush's most talented young scientists and at the end of the day the joy of experts picked the best projects in green and biotechnologies materials i.t. and engineering but despite the exterior design he can project has very commercial goals. there are no specialized events for young engineers or inventors in our country of the moment. we don't want people involved in high tech development just three million dollars for a fifty percent stake in the company. to make billions just like tony stark and.

just such a rousing words i was he gets to meet the future fine men and women of the belmont university in the exhibition area. the stones not only gave finalists the opportunity to show off the fruits of their labors but also network and meet potential investors the highlights included universities formula students car and principal solar panels that can be attached to pretty much anything meanwhile lurking in the depths the uni's entry for the student robel so competition boasts a three d. camera and is floating its way up the leaderboard and of course no technology show would be complete without augments of reality play display here brings two d. images from books to kids a much to life and then lets users interact with the b three d. to reveal the information embedded inside. elsewhere in moscow that in a start two thousand and thirteen final was held at the center of modern design innovations later that evening over three hundred students submitted their projects

for consideration so one of the top three prizes and those who made it to the final five to present their ideas lie and was subjected to a grilling from the jury those who didn't quite make it to the final was still on hand to show off their entries which included a unique hydro massage shower and this facial tracking technology which only requires a standard low resolution webcam to track movement making the technology less of a strain on the pocket back in the main hall the jury had come to a decision the winners of this year's in a star included a radical rethink of moscow a super green roofing material and a device to make sure you never get stung on your electricity bill is one thing receive an award for your innovation but once you spend your prize money you should go to tech crunch to try and find an investor or not. to eat. tech crunch moscow two thousand and thirteen was held at the digital october center guests of the event by the tech news websites of the same name range from startups

to industry leaders as always tech crunch is stossel ali was jump packed with people demo their wares vying for attention and hoping to get a spot on the hallowed disrupt stage. three minutes to present the idea of charts investors and move on to the next round however one name that cropped up in a presentation about the messaging up stood out from the rest. is the founder of the film production company and if that doesn't ring any bells he's also the director of the hollywood film and many of the star studded flicks the path from concept to big screen is no walk in the park and pre-visualization plays an important role in getting the movie off the ground but action parts modern pitches require more than the traditional to teach chuckles sketches three d. animation give a frame by frame idea of how the finished product should look pre-visualization is also help direct to tweak camera angles stage direction and lighting and in an

industry where time costs lots of money they help everyone know who's doing what where and when on sets despite saving money even the previews are very costly and time consuming a fact. when i read all sorts of images and pictures appear in my head and i thought it would be great if you could write a text and then have a computer to automatically turn it into an animated cartoon. it would understand and use the same language used by all filmmakers when they're telling a story just from images on a screen. so the guys at the studio got cracking to make the most fun to see a reality the company developed a universal text animation script this compatible with pre-prepared to d. and three d. characters and animals you simply put in your text complete with stage directions

and the application source of the dialogue movement gestures and camera angles it was easy to see how it was coming useful in the film industry so while director such as he was busy with his next screenplay i wanted to find out how such a specific piece of software made its way to the mass market. we took the professional version which supports lots of features and gradually began automating them or cutting them out altogether introducing defaults at such a sort of this product could be used by a wider audience in the future. we even had a trial where we made a t.v. series for a cable channel the three d. backgrounds and characters that were left and created an online version of the program which could be accessed through a browser. so anyone could visit and see the interface it has a stage these two robotic characters and a text input box. the

text is then uploaded to a server to be animated the whole process only takes around fifteen second but leads to some rather peculiar videos online i'm twenty eight and it's an awfully people in their thirty's and forty's complaining and they should because their lives are almost over twenty sucks because it's the end of fun or at least society thinking it's ok to have fun when you turn twenty eight you and your fun friends start partying and start having addictions that's what they call it you can get hammered on monday night without raising some eyebrows although it may seem like a lot of nonsense to get it is a lot of uses online a chance to express themselves and it caught on surprisingly quickly. when you're still there with having created these robots and the spy the fact that use had created videos which had been viewed over one hundred thousand times. early on but only five six while less than ten percent of our audience could create their own

screenplay. so we decided to go one step further and simplify our application even more. to the world of s.m.s. and takes communication. in a world where people show how they're feeling with smiley's social network of contacts which also happens to be russia's second most visited sites was the perfect place to test out the technology to simplify film pre-visualization software only requires text and smileys for the characters to interact messenger's ease of use and logical progression from current communication trends mentality to must over seven hundred thousand users in the first three weeks alone was the evolution of this once nice software doesn't end here. we plan to launch a mobile application sometime in the summer of twenty fourteen. it's probably be released at the same time as a film to take advantage of. characters in images in it. that we currently don't

know what film it will probably be a big budget animation or adventure franchise but which comes to. us into the first touch after the break. the book. look it was a. very hard to take a look at look here there's a lot happening that fact would that make their lives. clear.

look look look look look look look look. look. look look look look look look look look look. look look look. look the purple. there's a medium leave out so we leave that maybe. i will see bush and see your. play your party there's a. clear shoes that no one is asking with the guests that you deserve answers from it's all on politicking only on our t.v. . county fourteen olympics was this place like the one i use is so special as the

russian resort prepares to welcome the world power the game should be the city's present and future one more sochi will bring you this is the moment they're reporting from a very cold snowy windy mountainous stop here beyond the olympics but . on our team. welcome back let's take a quick look at this month's tech news. bites. sales of the yota phone kicks off on the fourth of december as gorky park in what's proved to be a day of firsts is the company's first foray into markets it also happens to be the first design small phone and the world's first. screen mobile. display

promises. on display information even when the phone is not out of battery and under the device also has wide implications for russian innovation. we show that we can do it because three years ago a few people who believe that russian startups can bring this idea to the commercial product and get this type of success and interest we have around the globe we can create innovative products we can do something can consume electronics and we can be competitive russian environmental monitoring service that unveiled the latest addition to its fleet of flying locks on the sixth of december the heavily modified yacht forty two d. boasts over seventy instruments for monitoring pollution and radiation levels as was particles it can even in juice rainfall in dry areas. a million martian meeting was held at the cosmonaut six memorial museum in moscow

on the third of december cost of the mars one project the. permanent human colony on mars by two thousand and twenty three and so far as received over two hundred thousand applications for a one way ticket to the red planet. about this project. all the people that are already involved. and. starts getting on the. end of last month the robots to join the crew on the international space station early next year controlled remotely from the ground by. the robots human like. on the exterior of the station. the line between technology and biology is becoming increasingly blurred so let's focus on state universities

latest developments in wearable tech. brain. wearable technology has been billed as the next big thing i'm not talking about. one of the . braving the cold outside the moscow state university andre and pavol here are busy putting the xo athlete through its paces. first. meaning it requires no external. to carry loads hundred kilograms. of the cold i had inside the institute of mechanics where i found rather unusual roots. ventured into robotics way back in the same. on the self balancing unicycles and bikes made for quite a spectacle they used to gyroscopic stabilization system which kept them upright

even when they were standing on the spot having impressed audiences around the world the researchers shifted their attention from wheels to walking machines having already created one of russia's first anthropomorphic by people robots love was on a roll so why stop at just two likes. meets marcia the walking robot she was built at the time when computers filled entire rooms but despite her ripe old age of forty the old girl can still strong stuff with the best of them she's the results of the institute's work on mimicking nature in an attempt to find alternative transport means each leg has three axes of movement provided by a total of eighteen perfectly coordinated electric motors she was refined over the years to improve her awareness of the surrounding environment and before her retirement she could climb stairs and adjust her gait according to incline and the institute of mechanics had big plans to muster two point zero but it. was if there was talk of news ing. as a mars rover or the thing is though the moon rover before her

run on wheels now martha but if it came across an area on the surface of mars that was either uneven or covered in rocks it's unlikely that a wheel based machine would have coped with it. and this is where legs would come in. which were. in the one nine hundred seventy s. during the cold war q months he had set his eyes on concrete in other worlds and russia was looking towards the red planet the institute of mechanics proposed sending a beefed up version of masha to mas the giant's yellow muscle called translated literally as miles walker would help clear the path for human settlement just like mush the. it would have been able to adjust its gait depending on the surface and obstacles in its path however unlike marcia the muscle horse featured

a scoop or claw at the front and open bet at the back for building clearing rubble and collecting samples there was even talk of creating a version that offered the speed of wheels but the off road capabilities of legs but all that remains is a solitary like. it has to be said that as well as carrying out experimental work into a two legged and six legged walking robots we also conduct a theoretical research we developed algorithms that allow the robots to walk and our experience with watching robots came in very handy when we were developing the eggs or skeleton. all these experiences meant that the xo athletes made it from turing ball to prototype in just two days it was developed jointly with the emergency situations ministry and received funding from the ministry of education in science weighing in at just twelve kilos is can help the operator carry loads of it's a one hundred kilograms while it's like a bunch and electronics means that it requires little if any maintenance in the

field naturally these advantages caught the attention of the russian defense ministry to see both ready to go the eagle eyed a monkey may remember the xo athlete from a news piece we did back in august where it was demonstrated that the russian defense ministry innovation day the russian armed forces saw his potential for assisting troops loading heavy i mean mission crates and supply use as well as carrying heavy duty military combat shields such as this one but it wouldn't be that easy to fight in on the idea was shelved. the uni's also working on hydraulic and electric versions this battery powered hydraulic suits weighs twice as much as the passive one and has an operation time of around two hours but this was a trade off the team were willing to make for the added power and mobility it gives the user senses on either side of the knee pick up the operator's intention. swing the leg into action. i have to try one on for size it was a strange feeling pinstripe suit securely to the exoskeleton and it felt like

learning to walk again as i started slowly forward but it didn't take long to get the hang of it pressure pads at the bottom of the exoskeleton takes when the foot is touching the floor unlock the leg at the knee ready for the next step. toward there is a motion detection system installed industry which uses video cameras to help us see how a person moves in the exoskeleton and work out its economic. because this is one of the methods are used to deal with the irregularities of the human body. we can gather statistics to see how people walk then use this information to customize the exoskeleton. including the speed and movement of the joints the rigidity and shock absorbing properties of the excess skeleton a much more we get to work obviously pavel wasn't quite as happy with my performance as i was i'm thought i could do with some extra assistance. entirely

out of place though with waning interest from the military the medical ali is the one they're currently looking to explore the potential of the exoskeleton helping people walk again or recover from injury not to mention the psychological benefits that come with it is immense the passive exoskeletons lack of complex electronics means that it would be perfect for people living in remote areas it can also be used to help take some of the load off those who carry heavy objects as part of their daily work as i work with. the war in creating the exoskeleton we're hoping to be one of the first players in a market that's only just forming. so we'll have a chance to find our own each and meet the expectations that people have told us about when you go to reduce. and provide them with the exoskeleton they really need . gaining popularity through hollywood blockbusters developments such as the one from moscow state university mean the skeletons are no longer confined to the

realms of fantasy and now have potential in the real world with doctors and engineers looking for ways either to restore people's mobility and strength or great it. might just be the way. they uses range from helping people get back on their feet and building strength so helping the world's. longer and making light work of heavy lifting so it looks like. a. technology this year. and finding out what two thousand and fourteen has in store for us. bring in the new year enjoy the ride.

please rest here on this idea that we live in a democratic society if you abuse the instruments of democratic power then you actually do want living in a democratic power anymore. this is extremely interesting. strategically she told china. and undercover team of journalists trying to release wiki leaks documents about zero united states it's right. there. may be a local media more pro-american they encounter fear ignorance and pressure. the country blocks the way to information freedom. media stop on our

t.v. . the beginning of the long haul take note most in the face it's full island life. in the in the temptation. the dog has lost for six months. more polar bears than people. and it's as easy to hire a rifle as a scooter. because the island is so in a special there are no indigenous people but there are all those who do choose this frozen life. this is this could be right about if you are.
