it will fit not only the equipment for 3 g that it will also fit equipment for four-g. we are expecting this next year. that is one of the justifications for having the large boxes. they could be smaller. if we made its smaller, we would have to put another site in the exact proximity across the street, for example. witt ask you to modify the permit to impose a condition that would have been imposed if they had seen this last summer. think you very much. the engineers and the implementations director will take your questions. >> touching on what you just said. should you reapply for a permit to replace what you currently have should this board invalidate the permit at issue? you could get two boxes slightly smaller that would comply with the new legislation. >> this technically complies with the new legislation but this is considered to three. >> they would go through a different process. >> you could comply. and. >> this would be a tear two. even under those circumstances, the board has allowed the insulation to remain in place while the process is going through. >> a

it seems that we're further burdened with equipment. this is not about a question of a lack of neighborliness. they said that they should not be penalized for the city's mistakes. it seems that they have benefited from the lack of regulation and oversight. human beings make a mistake, especially given how quickly things go through the city. this should be considered part of doing business. >> thank you. >> i am speaking in support of the appellant. we have the jurisdiction request on this matter. what came up was that they were accelerating the installation of these devices because it was before the avalos legislation that had gone into effect. i was working with john avalos on this and was aware of this. i asked them about the devices that were being put up and i asked for information and i got it. it was accelerated here at the end right before the legislation. you can see in this chart here up until 2010 and this month is september for the legislation. >> next speaker, please. >> i own a property where there is a similar antenna put

this type of equipment has no output. these go up under a standard in christmas but don't have any type of to involve the notice like under the new legislation. nextg is a telecommunications company. the department of public works will not sign off on a single permit until everything is in full compliance. we would like to have the right to fully comply. our rights are vested under the law. because it was probably granted and was not able to be fully completed but this was substantially completed, we relied upon the permit in good faith. to the extent that there are any errors in the process is, we asked that the board respectfully uphold the granted a permit. >> good evening, commissioners. the application for 36 ashbury is substantially different from the previous appeal. the department did identified this facility located adjacent to the building. we gave this information for review. they did provide conditional approval with the modifications to the facility. this facility was also reviewed. the equipment was reviewed

the equipment you see painted green, that is all the original equipment from 1972. we are just now in the middle of modernizing this equipment. >> why modernize? doesn't the equipment works fine? >> it does, it is of analog and intensive, and there are some additional controls. let me introduce the foreman to you. this is vince. he can do a better job explaining the project details. >> what is happening here, what are you doing? >> we are doing a major modernization. we are tearing out the old system, logic controls, and generator controls, and we will be going over to solid state. this is not your standard selector. it does not have a tape that runs it. because these are outside elevators -- these are unique to the city. >> and this is going away with the upgrade. >> that is right. none of these will be here. we have retrofitted three elevators so far and now we're doing the outside cars. >> so this is what will be replacing -- >> this will be replacing the generator controller and control system. we are down to about 15 or 20 relays, down from about 100, which mea

equipment so the equipment that they're using said today it has been after the after terrorist attack in the moscow airport after the president visited the railway station and the like the state of security there they decided to introduce those metal detectors in all public transport or all the railway stations around the country i think forty thousand railway stations each will cost about five million can you imagine the sum of money they can spend in that is there i would ask you is there equipment that can detect all explosives probably no. ninety nine percent yes i really including plastic it could be plastic but the investment is huge so you have through prayer of priorities. you have to approve of those probably stations or tilted towards the pile more sensitive and so the less to do it is the whole it's a budgetary the then i don't think it's efficient enough a terrorist expert is an expert in prioritizing sense it's sensitive places one place has to get this kind of equipment the other one less and maybe the other with a third one shouldn't be just guards because nobody would

. >>> inside techshop is all kinds of manufacturing equipment, welding equipment, laser cutting tools, and a whole lot more. in fact, just about everything you'd need to make just about anything you could imagine, and i do mean anything. that's because tech shopsh techshop is open to anyone who wants to use it. it's like joining a health club. you pay the fee and get access to the tools in the building. >> you join techshop and get access to the toils to make anything you want want. >> welding and machines. >> all classes, mandatory classes, so all classes are about two to three hours long, maybe 4 to 6 people per class, and all hands on. don't know how to run a machine? no problem. techshop will teach you how to run and operate everything, and the classes are very reasonable. it's the brain child of jim newton. he created an inexpensive sanctuary for artists and inventors of all types, just off highway 101 of san jose, california. that's the site of the original techshop location. i say original, because his one-time local idea has matured into a nationwide need. >> our goal for tech

the equipment is for that purpose. commissioner dooley: just a little more definition is what i am looking for. >> that might be better, speaking to the purpose. i would not want to say that you can have a toaster in the microwave, and because they want a sandwich press or blender. we can't name all of the equipment they will have 20 years from now, but we can give it a little more clarity. >> i can't have a reluctance, notwithstanding the suggestion you are making. decode is beyond comprehension already. -- the code is beyond comprehension already. i am leery of that. if you attach something without a permit and it is illegal, and somebody calls it, you have to take it out. you will be told to remove the kitchen or the bathroom. there are cases of that. i am surprised that there are situations were we have examples of people turning what is conceived. i would like to keep it simple. i like the way that you have it. i would rather see an emphasis placed on the enforcement. for my input on this, i'd go wholeheartedly al

well, his equipment is on every single one.he atlas rocket developed with wernher von braun; the moon launch, his equipment was there as well; the cern--c-e-r-n--the world's largest experimental physics installation with the hadron collider under france and switzerland, his equipment is in there as well; any nuclear reactor in the us, and most in the world, thanks to his equipment, these things can function. so he has done quite a bit, and years ago, he escaped from czechoslovakia just before the iron curtain slammed shut. he'll tell us about it. and here's the best news of all: a.k. velan is 92 years young. here he is. a.k. velan, the us navy, i think it's fair to say, would grind to a halt, would steam to a halt, if they didn't have the benefit of your equipment. your equipment is essential in nuclear reactors around the world, in the famous hadron collider underneath switzerland and france. you have done great, great things, but i want to take us back first to the end of the war, in the late '40s, 1948-49, in czechoslovakia,

>> the equipment was purchased, rapid scan and millimeter wave. i'm interested in finding out the context of the former secretary with tsa either prior to, during, or at some time of the acquisition, can you check your records? >> congressman, we can do that. i can tell you who was not involved in the acquisition of the machines any time after being secretary at least and clearly as oversight of the department, there would have been involvement before that. >> allight. we had actually the back scanner is nothing new. i remember five years ago we had a stick devices that you could deploy or software that would give you stick image rather than the full body scan rchg -- is that correct? are you aware? >> no, i'm not. >> i'm not. >> you're now testing that? >> the automated target software with the generic outline of a person. >> when do you expect those tests to be finished? >> we have them on the millimeter wave, the l3 machines in the airports today. they will finish up with the specific testing on those by the end of this month. >> okay. >> with

radiologists and state of the art equipment have been brought here from all over japan. thiss a mobile shower facility which enables washing away radiation without contaminating the surroundings. and this is the latest device for measuring the amount of radiation inside the human body which is very difficult do. all resources are on standby 24/7. this medical expert says that the situation is still very worrisome. so if anyone is exposed to large doses of radiation, he wants to be able to accurately assess the level of exposure.

for the wireless equipment, it was permitted. it has been constructed. it needs to be refined. they work with a public works inspected to ensure that it is done. even if this mistake was made, we will be remedying it. which we have not. i do not know that we did fix this. i do recall that there was vandalism with the electric meter. somebody had to yank to the front off of the electric meter. .-- somebody had yanked the front off. [berl -- bell] commissioner hwang: how long has this site and operable? >> since november 18. under the old law, it is not a sign of completion. under the new law, it is basically saying it is complete. commissioner hwang: so under the old law, it has actually been functional, but prior to that time, it was not? >> prior to november 18, no, it was not functional. commissioner fung: how many of your facilities require some type of modification, in terms of the antenna and in terms of the flush mount. >> i know we have seven under the 3-g and trying to do some quick mathematics, we had some for the 4-g network, and i believe of the panel antennas, a lot

this is due to equipment problems between montgomery and west oakland. they are single tracking trains through the area so delays are in effect in both directions but i am hearing that there is limited... stick with the freeways until they clear this problem up. ace, muni, caltrain problem- free. and again if you are taking the freeways, be advised we have some slick surface out there and you're looking live at the golden gate bridge where we have limited visibility. chp has issued a fog advisory for the golden gate bridge this morning as well as the richmond/san rafael bridge. now, bay bridge i just checked in, the metering lights are still off. we are seeing a bit of a backup especially in the cash lanes. they will probably turn them on within the next few minutes and lots of wet roads. still 20 minutes from the carquinez bridge to the maze to the maze, sluggish across the upper deck into san francisco. out the door towards oakland or hayward, taking the nimitz freeway, northbound 880 still moving steady. we are seeing some extra volume on that southbo

is bigger and better in addition to the transport and return vessels as well as soil sampling equipment the complex now carries the chinese martian orbiter as well as an additional expendable fuel tank to propel the extra weight. meticulous testing is underway at the mosque l. space research institute to assure the functionality of each focus group component . the orbital trajectory of mars and its moons reaches its closest point to earth just once every twenty six months catching for with it any other time is both more complicated and more costly after missing the first launch window due to delays scientists understand time is of the essence. the unfamiliar environment of the martian moon surface means every single piece of the more than twenty scientific instruments that make up the probe has high standards to meet and exceed. what the . program unlike lunar programs here the task was undoubtedly complicated by the need to collect samples under tricky conditions gravity is virtually absent on phobos. well those aren't conditions easily recreated here on earth teams of the space resear

this means taking down the equipment and starting over. any new permits should fall under the recently affected -- effected avalos legislation, which attempts to regulate the placement of antennas to protect the city pair of beauty. it also provides language protecting private views, which is new. the antenna is large, a tier 3 facility. it is in a protected location on a quiet street with good views of the bay. it impedes not only street views, but neighborhood views of the golden gate bridge. the antenna is also installed right outside of residences. hopefully, the pictures i have provided give you a sense of how interested the installation is. nextg asserts that this is a deceptive close-up on the antenna taken with a telescopic lens without perspective. the city view is distorted or misleading. this is false. no telescopic lens was utilized in taking this photograph. unfortunately, the pictures depict exactly how the and tunnel looks. if anything, they do not reveal how intrusive this facility actually is. i respectfully ask the board
