life threatening. but. hello and welcome to technology updates this month we left the hustle and bustle of moscow and went to top stun which is one of the country's innovation hot spots on today's show we meet some of cousins young scientists. we find out that making plane parts is a bit like baking a cake. and we can face to face with a modern day viking. but first cousin has been pegged to become mrs i-t. capsule so it was the perfect place to kick off our trip. because sun is the
6:31 pm
capital of the republic of tatarstan the city's historic site spawning back centuries of very modern metropolis and this innovation friendly environment makes it the ideal place to start soaps. on our first evening in the city we were met by a pair of young intrapreneur as keen to give us a demonstration of their bodog. as well as providing all the features of a traditional dash cam stop also uses computer vision technology to identify road signs and display them on screen it's also remembers the speed limits of the road you on and politely remind you if you get a bit heavy on the accelerator the following day we went to i.t.v. parked right in the hearts of cars on this business district builds in two thousand and nine with the sole purpose of boosting bushes i can see industry the parks business incubator is a hive of activity it provides all the infrastructure and support necessary to help . putting businessmen and women in the idea it's
6:32 pm
a fully fledged company so it was the perfect venue for the russian starts approach shows stopping because the event organized in parts by skolkovo will pass through twenty seven cities by april this year giving a total of around three thousand stocks hopes the chance to pitch their ideas to about five hundred investors and we arrived just in time to see the guys from bodog say to the stage. of stalls already pretty crowded with not endorsements and reality software offering functions ranging from turn by turn navigation voice and text charts say overlays and geo targeted advertising the only problem is none of them awful all of these features are wants and this is where road is going to dominate them all not only will the op combine all these functions but future updates will introduce a on obligation audio advertising and instantly all dated knobs for the first time . currently our competitors are updating their maps manually
6:33 pm
therefore delays are inevitable they can take from a couple of months to half a year we expect our maps to be updated every day or two with the initial stage while our user base is relatively small but once we have the same number of users as our competitors will start updating the maps within one or two hours of the change offering the drivers latest information the road on to bell appears on conveniently based it's high tea party in their office upstairs they monies to write the complex recognition algorithms capable of running on smartphones in just three and a half months but it's not just a labor of love the op will be available for free in around a month bush the developer spun to commercialize the data they collect as well as with insurance companies to lower drivers premiums with such potential it's no surprise they were voted one of the three witnesses at the end of the day downstairs the event was still in full swing with startups taken it in turns to try and impress the jury. it was pretty tense so we took a breather of the ip with
6:34 pm
a very personal interest in the event. and i have told everybody to be more credible with the university last year. in russia and all of those so i think. real speaker has already received no small amount of investment it allows writers bloggers on the don't write bone idle to enter text into a computer by simply dictate the application currently supports thirteen languages ranging from english and spanish to check in chinese so i wondered how it would fare of mine nor. the. full stop i didn't see. each. say. so hopefully it will make it easier for me.
6:35 pm
real speaker uses a microphone webcam and internet connection it's much is the audio input from the microphone with the speakers lip movements from the webcam all this information is sent over the internet to the server is then processed in real time and sent to the user as text. is relatively well known in russia the total funds we've raised around four hundred thousand us dollars we have investments both from the foundations and private investors the company is a resident of the. innovation center the company is also registered in the united states and we've already applied for u.s. patent and right now looking for a strategic investor to help us turn a promising technology into a commercially successful product. unique jewel. speech recognition as well as helping a bit right is the technology may be used to control domestic appliances in the
6:36 pm
home of the future. because one is already one of the country's innovation leaders but if it's going to stay there it's going to need a constant supply of young talent so in the next stop of our trip we went to one cousins of many universities to meet some of the city's future innovators. constructing a life. on national research technological university can trace its roots back to eighteen nineteen since then it's risen to become one of the top technical universities in the country with over twenty six thousand students studying here it's also the largest technical university in russia one of its strengths is bio chemistry. inspired by a switch up a made from carrot extracts must his students yvonne's akara has developed a unique starch based formula for making biodegradable carrier bags in containers the end product is thirty percent stronger than polythene but only sacrifices five
6:37 pm
percent of the us to city and the materials antistatic properties mean that you want to try to dust during the manufacturing process as well as solving the scourge of plastic bags worldwide the technology might also pave the way for edible wrappers and containers the formula can also be adjusted to prolong will shorten the decomposition time from a matter of seconds to a couple of months. down the car door he came across another eco friendly technology. phosphates nitrate and other unsavory substances are commonly found in detergents and fertilizers they destroy the natural balance of across ecosystems also make their way into water so finding a way of removing them effectively and cheaply is of utmost importance here in the industrial technology department they're testing a new product to remove phosphates and other pollutants from waste water the products is called nano flog and is produced by an austrian company based on russian technology. like all the products on the market because impurities to precipitate and sink to the bottom for removal however unlike the rest no fog works
6:38 pm
in time and can be used in conjunction with the microorganisms known as active sludge the technology has huge potential for such a small bottle. of the certain race this is the active sludge separates from nutritious waste water. which naturally speeds up the entire wastewater treatment process increasing the production rate of the wastewater treatment. which is one of the advantages of this project. based on nano flog customized for the russian markets it's improved sedimentation rate of biosolids reduces the energy required during bio purification by twenty percent but it still has to pass through many other stages before being returned to the environment waste water first flows through a metal grate through me of any debris is then filtered to remove sun solidified the chemical agent is added to the water in the first storage tank is then treated
6:39 pm
with microorganisms creating sludge which also needs to be removed by a cat can be added directly to the active sludge reducing the number treatment stages. of the well known professor and member of the academy of natural sciences professor gruber conducted the research it was he who invented nano magnetite. in two thousand and seven professor sue during or designed a technology for producing it on an industrial scale. and then in two thousand and nine two thousand and ten mr krueger who's the head of our company in austria came up with a way to work nano magnetite into polymer elements. there are magnetic nano particles in bio are attracted to the surface of the phosphates in the water causing them to stick together in a process known as flocculation you need. ratio of ingredients and now technology means that two to three times faster than anything else in the market. of course we
6:40 pm
intend to set up a production facility in russia this will be much more efficient because currently we have to take the magnetite outside russia incorporated into poly was abroad and then bring it back here which is naturally quite costly. as the world's population grows so does the money for freshwater and flocculation plays an important part in meeting. the next time you have a glass of water it might be best not to think about where it came from. which is everything when building and composite materials often be simple strength to weight ratio was using them requires a completely new manufacturing process and the similarities with baking unc conny. check with tight restrictions on emissions and more people flying than ever before aircraft manufacturers are being forced to lose some weight never want to get left behind bushes and missed twenty one you'll be the fourth plane in the world with almost entirely carbon fiber blood wings when it takes to the edge in two thousand
6:41 pm
and fifteen. couple compazine increase sun was only open six months ago i'm tired as you may have guessed from the name it's money fighters composites components for the aviation industry it's already produces compas it's been passed to the sukhoi superjet and is getting ready to launch production of parts for the m s twenty one. passenger plane wings are complex pieces of kids their main parts include leading edge flaps brakes spoilers ailerons and trailing edge flaps originally made from a mini i'm the number of components made from compass it's vary from model to model but he's always on the if we're talking about the twenty one all these parts will be made from composites serials but in addition the wing skins and wing folks will also be made up of qantas is to create a black wing. well if we're talking about the situation today. the
6:42 pm
proportion of compass at materials is something in the order of twelve percent for all planes what's. next for planes like this super jet before but for the m s twenty one which will have a compass it weighing the ratio will be a lot higher of course. they teach composite wing plane components starts off life on a roll of president impregnated cloth pre-press like many greedy as the prepaid must be stored in a cool dry place to prevent it from going off when the time comes each layer of the components is cooked told by the automated call to raise a shop knife a bit like cutting shapes also. some parts contain up to thirty lay is it prepared so that each stumps with a unique id to make sure they don't get mixed up. the protective film is removed to reveal the black carbon fiber below once every two or three layers have been put down there put in a vacuum bag to remove any stray pockets of air and as with any kitchen hygiene is
6:43 pm
king. many small bit of fluff which may seem insignificant in our daily lives becomes very significant in al line of work because. everybody know that you know the price is the only industry specifically mention in the constitution and. that's because a free and open press is critical to our democracy right allmers. in fact the single biggest threat facing our nation today is the corporate takeover of our government and our press cynical we've been hijacked by handful of trans national corporations that will profit by destroying what our founding fathers once i'm tom are in on this show we reveal the big picture of what's actually going on and we go beyond identifying. try rational debate and a real discussion of critical issues facing america if i ever feel ready to join
6:44 pm
the movement then well go to. my marinate join me. in debt impartial and financial reporting commentary in for news and much much. only on the bus and only on the. chaos on the streets of kiev after a short truce rioters are again wrecking convicts the so-called opposition appears to have no interest in a legally elected government force is being met with force where ukraine goes from here is anyone's guess. there's
6:45 pm
a media leave us so we leave the media by the same motions surely you know your party has a vote. for shoes that no one is asking with the guests that you deserve answers from it's all on politicking only on our t.v. . i'm. a side. i'm big corporation mind. you i'm the banker i think it's all been all about money and i'm a family pick for a politician write the laws and regulations that bankers coming up. here just to plug pratt today by. that. sublunary

welcome back to our top tossed on special. economic zone is located right in the hearts of western russia it was only set up eighteen years ago but it's already become the biggest and most successful in the country is wide range of incentives an ideal location when that many of the world's industrial heavyweights have concerts own and set up shop. local point. stretching into the distance as far as the eye can see the scale of a law book is hard to grasp its container terminal handles around forty thousand containers a year the whole site's code is a massive twenty square kilometers and there are plans to double this by two thousand and sixteen thirty seven companies are states that claims with a total of three billion dollars on the signs and nine already up and running the
6:48 pm
automobile industry is one of the lobbies key directions and we made a house call on one of the residents and ted said and misspent designs and produces exhaust systems for russian and c.i.s. tom manufacturers the company only became a resident of the special economic zone fairly recently investing one hundred sixty three million dollars in this facility. one of the company's main products is this sizable exhaust system for the diesel on petrol camas lorry engines and the company has come a long way from its money speed dating is almost twenty years ago. it stopped off in ninety five when two engineers developed an improved exhaust for the zil fyfield once it was officially founded three years later becoming the official supplier for the cottage you said it opened his first touch in two thousand and two in two thousand and five he became the main scribe of assistive a dedicated production facility for commas in. two thousand and ten the company became president of the law in two thousand and twelve. we designed this system
6:49 pm
together with the engine manufacturers the engine and the exhaust gasses to warn units if this unit works well you will be able to meet your zero four and zero five standards. the factory currently occupies an area five thousand meter square all the machinery and said set and this has facility has been custom designed and made to meet a specific requirements once the catalytic converter has been installed the external casing is welded encrypts to make it at its height the company makes extensive use of robots to ensure consistently high quality it's also means they can produce a car exhaust in this little is four minutes. noise is a key fight so that needs to be taken into consideration when meeting puro for fire standards on the exhaust systems that shoots and set set and this has head office in moscow. computer simulations show the path of the airflow inside the
6:50 pm
exhaust and the frequencies of the sound produced engineers then use these informations as just the size and the shape of the device accordingly and one of the main challenges is to optimize the speed and pressure of the day getting the counselor to. the main trick in designing the sound of a car exhaust is to find shoe in the boat so that the high frequencies are muffled as much as possible within the output spectrum that will give you a relatively simple and efficient set up. and fix it and that can produce around three hundred thousand exhausts and one hundred forty thousand catalytic converters a yeah there are grand plans for expanding the company's science into law because three fold and opening a high tech r. and d. sensor puts in the meantime one lucky drive will have this exhaust system for the technology obeyed seal of approval not only is located just forty kilometers down the road from a lava. the city's based around commerce which is best known for its record number
6:51 pm
of wins in the dakar rally with a truck manufacturer producing well over fifty thousand h.g.v. easy good it's easy to overlook some of the small if i choose which are also specialists in their own rights. frames over broad. based in the calmest ponds on impulse is testament to navigation your chellie speculation as an ultimate how a house named after the explores of old there's no way the company's biking all terrain vehicle tonto. on the road because one hundred forty six horses pellets to twenty months to respectfully ninety kilometers an hour that's what it likes in speed on the road it's more than makes old fall off road. biking is jumbo wheels provide performance on the kawi trucks which without churning up the terrain below. the big alist been over ten days in the making during which time the developers money to plan for every possible the bench while it's. done with although we live in
6:52 pm
a northern country we have no idea that there are thirty seven different types of snow and now we do but there are four or five types of snow that are impossible for any vehicle to drive across people including snowmobiles and even reindeer get stuck that is why we used ultra low pressure tires on our vehicle to enable it to traverse this kind of snow. we can also increase the vehicles ground clearance from thirty to fifty five centimeters by raising the suspension you can roll back a bit and then move forward pushing your way through the snow and onto your destination you go. to. the pressure. blewitt and raised from within the county the lower the pressure the lodge the footprints the most critical house the vikings extremely low sense of gravity also makes it difficult to roll over on the even the steepest of slopes. does with

satellite getting thrown around in the but there's no way of what sets i knew of all the fall in the us can i ever go of course from chinese. policy the central driving position and i driving the bike he was like any other big cold scene i felt confident enough to open a little bit and see what she could do as we glided after. it's easy to get here on a frozen river well then you all of us will go up off the wagon we're looking into making the vehicle transportable by helicopter with an external sling so that it can be inserted or evacuated by air so instead of driving the vehicle some five thousand kilometers or so to its operational location you can just bring it over with a helicopter and get to work with what you know it's full of bikes he said been assembled by him so far that currently being used in st petersburg the fan north and by the emergency services the company plans to make twenty five vehicles this year to
6:54 pm
perfect the manufacturing process and shift to mass production by two thousand and fifteen making between one hundred and one hundred fifty a.t.v. easy get one just like his ancestors the viking is no lime jello but it's also a fully i'm phoebe a severe cold yeah. so what rescue services asked us to develop a vehicle could pass through water that's full of debris the kind that you have to deal with if you have to move around in an area devastated by a flood. so we contacted some people in the shipbuilding industry and had a four bladed propeller with a one hundred twenty percent over the top of the designed especially for us it is essentially a screw. ups on impulse is still testing and increasing the bike in its design it's also working on a six wheeled version and custom models for the various images he says he says the founders of the company cut their teeth working for commas and even including
6:55 pm
national body champion the vikings custom compass if the fella spends a full thousand r.p.m. commutes a maximum speed of fifteen kilometers an hour up on also. the funking century mounted engine and points construction make it to see with the as any longship it's also the only off road on p.b.s. vehicle in the world this completely both legal notepads for a small factory from the opposition here tell me. and we were keen to get something to remember our trip by so just before heading back to moscow we took some time out to stop some of the sites. which. we had to buy. from some of the president's. phone from me specializes in making video gifts for friends family and business especially occasion whether it be a wedding. they. used to simply send in their photos from one of the many
6:56 pm
templates on the phone from new guys to the press with a little help from adobe after effects they hope to also make the service in the near future but it's already released some pretty weird and wonderful clips. naturally i chose the real money template because the guys that was a technical spin on it and i think you'll agree it's turned out quite well but i'll leave you to want to undergo next time enjoy the ride.
6:57 pm
chaos on the streets of kiev after a short truce rioters are again wrecking how big the so-called opposition appears to have no interest in a legally elected government force is being met with force where ukraine goes from here is anyone's guess. i would rather ask questions to people in positions of power instead of speaking on their behalf and that's why you can find my show larry king now right here on r.t. question more.
6:58 pm
i know c.n.n. m s n b c fox news have taken some not slightly but the fact is i admire their commitment to cover all sides of the story just in case one of them happens to be accurate. that was funny but it's close and for the truth from i think. it's because one whole attention and the mainstream media work side by side with you is actually on here. and our teenagers we have a different brain. ok oh yeah because the news of the world just is not this funny i'm not laughing dammit i'm not how. you guys talk to the jokes well handled that i'm.
6:59 pm
i've got a quote for you. that's pretty tough. stay with substory. let's give this guy like you would smear about john stead of working for the people both issues the mainstream media are working for each other bridegrooms vision to fight . the good rather. we're wealthy british style. has no time to write. markets why not come to. find out what's really happening to the global economy
7:00 pm
with mike's cause or for a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines tune in to conjure reports on our. i think. we're going to go digital the price is the only industry specifically mention in the constitution. that's because a free and open press is critical to our democracy which help us. grow up i'm. going to go i'm tom r. and i'm this show we reveal the picture of what's actually going on we go beyond identifying to try to fix rational debate a real discussion critical issues facing america have a different go ready to join the movement than welcome the big. bill i'm tom arbonne in washington d.c. joins us by my good friend and america's lawyer might have been spelled.
