so there's almost an infew gnat number of places where you could put a sensor. >> reporter: the idea is to make it simple for bridge operators to understand exactly where the problem is. >> if the maintenance problem says green light or yellow light, that is all they wan to know. if there is a yellow light, they go look over there. >> reporter: caltran says there are already motion sensors on the bay bridge that measure movement created by an earthquake. officials say the next generation of sensors may offer a better understanding of bridge stress before and during an incident. >> when you have good hard data on what any bridge is going through during an earthquake or during high winds, you know, that knowledge is golden. >> reporter: engineers developing the new sensors say they will be invisible to motorists. >> as far as traveling public, they can be a lot more confident on the bridges that things are being monitor as they move along. as they drive on it. >> reporter: andrea nelson says she welcomes the new technology. last year's incident leaves her cautious about trusting this s

average for every sensor. in case you want to go into time density. so, we end up getting these really, really great visualizations of the busiest times and the least busiest times of people moving around san francisco. you want to go down into union square? you can see the data changes dramatically when we change the neighborhood. and just illustrates how different every neighborhood in san francisco really is. we're announcing today that we're providing some of this data to the city as a kind of public service to help the citizens here figure out how many people walk around their neighborhood. but mostly it's to help public service, like the fire department, the police department, the mta know more about how people move around. so, we're providing crowd data. so, if a thousand people pass one of our sensors in an hour, that data will be available publicly. every month. so, chris, do you want to go a little deeper? >> you can see we have a lot of blocks around union square covered. when you show this data to

the sensor in his brain can pick up these signals and send them to the robot. he's operating the arm in three dimensions-- up, down, forward and back? >> andy schwartz: as well as the gripper. >> pelley: what you're telling me is that the monkey is operating this arm with nothing but his thoughts? >> schwartz: absolutely. >> pelley: what are the chances that a human being would be able to do this same thing? >> schwartz: oh, we think a human being could do much better. >> pelley: that conversation was in 2008. and since then, the $150 million revolutionizing prosthetics program has reached farther than most thought possible. >> geoffrey ling: awesome. >> pelley: dr. geoffrey ling, a retired army colonel and neurologist, is in charge. after seeing the wounded on several tours in iraq and afghanistan, he told his team that he wanted a breakthrough within five years. did any of them say, "look, colonel, we're not sure we can do this." >> ling: oh, absolutely. they... they thought we were crazy. but that's quite all right, because i think it's in our insanity that

. >> there are various motors and sensors and there is even a camera that can detect the goal. >> what these kids are doing is not different from those who are raising livestock and this is what the fair has always been about. >> we have kids that grow agriculture and kids that grow robots. >> what is important is the kids grow. whether by building things or taking them apart. >> what are you finding in there? >> springs, screws, a lot of weird parts. >> springs and scruze -- and screws are nothing new. >> there are tractors back in the day and there are printers and. >> and the winner gets a ribbon. >> three, two, one, fire. it may need a little fine-tuning.

you see some of those yellow sensors from the center anchorage towards the metering lights. westbound 80 has various lanes blocked all of this should be picked up by about 6 a.m. check the south bay now we had a stall reported southbound 101 at tully. may still be there with some flashing lights in lanes but for the most part live traffic sensors are picking up top speeds through downtown exits, 280 and the guadalupe parkway. and showing you a live look outside, here's a live look at the golden gate bridge. got some flashing lights here, as well. they are beginning to do their lane changes in probably the next half hour or so they should have four southbound lanes open in the commute direction between marin county and san francisco. that's the latest "timesaver traffic." >>> overseas markets are mixed this morning after the big sell- off on wall street this morning. ashley morrison of cbsmoneywatch.com explains why investors are so skittish. >>> reporter: wall street investors got their bells running on thursday. blue chip stocks falling more than 350 points on disappointing

however, they are all equipped with various signals, sensors, and things like that. they are talking to each other and talking to the environment around them. the purpose of the study is to figure out how soon this can be it is funded by the federal government. we are talking about saving lives. this stuff really does work. i think that the government will gradually require more and more of this kind of technology, just as they required anti-lock brakes and air bags and electronic stability control. all of these things, once proven to work, the government rolls now very quickly. the other role the government might play, keep in mind, has to do with the rent -- the environment.clean air and so forth. it is interesting to see this around the world. i believe that new york is even thinking about trying to ban vehicles in certain parts of the center city. the congestion is not only causing gridlock, obviously, but it is terrible for the air. the auto makers have something to worry about here. there is so much growth around the world, yet they may be putting themselves ou

also it looks good and there is not a lot of activity on the road sensors. 6:19 let's go to steve. >>> thank you very much, we have mostly clear skies, inland warm, we are getting up there and we are way below and it has to balance itself out and everything is pointing to the weekend although there is a lot of fog. some 50s but more 60s and it is not a lot of of cloud cover and it is cooler and high pressure is building in the dessert southwest, four corners and there is going to be warmer conditions. 80s and 90s, it doesn't take long to get into this category and some of that fog has reduced visibility with the high and coming in and it has gone from a couple of 100,000 and water temperatures cooled down noticeably and that helped it and there is some fog by the coast and they are not as warm as they were 24 hours ago and unless you think it is hot, i don't blame you. it actually may be cooler in some areas than yesterday. but still away from the coast it looks like we will pencil it in and it will be warm to hot well away from the coast and it does not look like it will be getting i

so our traffic sensors so far are not picking up slowing but we are keeping our eye on it. we'll have more "timesaver traffic" coming up. >>> a bay area college student is going to the majors with a stanford degree in hand. the houston astros made stanford pitcher mark appel the number one draft pick. he turned down an offer from the pirates last year to finish out his education and his decision paid off. >> once the draft came around and, you know, last summer, you know, what happened last summer happened, i realized, you know, this is a really good opportunity to be back to my senior year and be able to graduate and do everything like that. >> smart move. appel is expected to sign for about $6 million. 2million more than he would have received had he gone pro last year. he will graduate a week from today with a degree in management science and engineering. good for him! >> smart guy. he got the degree, too. >>> well, the oakland as are in chicago for a weekend with the white sox. >> so far so good. yonas cespedes went deep for oakland but twice. he has 13 on the year. gam

about creating a smatter world, where something as cheap as a webcam can turn into an intelligent sensor reading things about you that you may not know about yourself. it starts as soon as you step outside. someone or something is watching you. >> you're always being tracked. >> reporter: and the tracking by cameras continues to grow. imagine you're behind the wheel. you get distracted. a camera in your car senses you looking away and sends a warning to a vie rating seat. how about a world where a kid can smile at his or her toy and it smiles back. or having an ad respond to you personally. we're not at minority report status yet. but with new technology, it's a software program that uses algorithms to turn any old webcam into a sensor. it is capable of getting dozens of faces up to 25 feet away and determine gender and age with about 90% accuracy. >> it's guessing that i'm an adult male. >> reporter: they have been testing the software to see what it can do in terms of marketing. >> it knows that i'm looking at it. >> reporter: the goal right now, help companies understand their custome

is getting closer to find the best way to gather research on impacts to the brain, mouth guard sensorse this or helmets with sensors. >> i think we may have the ability to put those into helmets or into mouth guards at the beginning of next season. >> it's such a weird injury. you are not sure. i think i'm okay. the brain sits in a pool of fluid. so if you move the cranium quickly the brain is going rotate and move as well. >> cheryl: the doctor says using mouth guards it could apply to a lot of sports. >> there is soccer, lacrosse and field hockey and women sports. >> cheryl: it's such a big issue. joining us is sports anchor is mike shumann. >> i have former oakland raider safety and he has been through this. let's start out how many concussions did you have while you played? >> more than i can count. that is part of the game. any kind of blind spotted or tingle is officially a concussion. >> you didn't think it was a concussion unless you got knocked out. everybody thought the same thing? >> i felt like that until two years ago. i thought -- i've been knocked out twice. that is like

with processors it's sensors.ihood you might have a stroke in the next 24 days. we can make predictions on you individually not as a broad class of population. >> that's pretty amazing. >> it is pretty amazing. >> will they need to be implanted? >> i think the early products are going to be external. let's take a watch. there's a new technology that's been out about a year but it will be as important for sensors assay 3g has been for smartphones. that's blue tooth 4.0. it's a real technology, it's not a theoretical protocol. you can have high-speed connectivity between a watch and smartphone and the cloud. that opens up all kinds of possibilities. say you had a watch. and the ability to get notifications. they are predicted based on what they know about you, massive data computation that are different than the ones i get. i hate trying to remember passwords. with biometrics you could be able to control that. those are a couple of examples. i think watches will find a role. how big, no one really knows at this poin

sensors detect breaks, cracks, and weaknesses in the pipe. man: we have roots at this cap lateral at 79. narrator: tree roots can grow into the pipe, splitting it apart. man: more light roots at 69. narrator: sometimes they may even find fully collapsed sections. after gathering the data, utilities can assess the need for rehabilitation. sinha: you have to choose the rehabilitation technique so that the life of the pipe can be extended 30 years, 40 years, 50 years. allbee: any asset has an optimal investment strategy. if you're making investments in that asset too early, or too late, you're wasting money. it costs about three times as much to fix a system once it's failed. so it's all about finding that right point where the dollars should flow toward that asset. narrator: but finding the funds to evaluate and rebuild these assets is an ongoing struggle. johnson: there is a gap between what's being spent by municipalities and water supply systems and what needs to be spent. and somehow that has to be made up. so there's a good bit of lobbying

those sensors then tell the car how to respond.lly, the car's computer won't let it go fast. i guess that's why the most important part of a computer is called the "mother" board. >> is a grammar goof getting between you and a great essay? christina has the cure for a common slip. >> i don't know what that is. >> sounds like some kind of machine. i have no clue. >> i don't know. >> something that is supposed to change something, but it changes the wrong thing, maybe? >> that's pretty close. but in grammar you can't just be close. you need to be correct. so, watch out for misplaced modifiers. they can really mess up the meaning of a sentence. >> and this occurs when you have an introduction to the main sentence, and the main sentence actually doesn't connect correctly back to the modifier that introduces it. >> here's an example -- "leaking oil, the mechanic fixed the car." >> "leaking oil, the mechanic fixed the car." >> did you catch the misplaced modifier? "leaking oil" refers to the car, not the mechanic. >> when i say "leaking

. >> we also have occupancy sensors. if nobody is in that room, lights turn off.kely to have sustainable features. it's another thing to have an integrated systems sustainability. >> when you have a building that's lead platinum, there are a couple themes important. one is daylight harvesting where you harvest the daylight and have it penetrate the building so that people have views, they see sunlight, which means that partitions and workstations are much lower so that people can see. >> so, human comfort combined with light reduction, the amount of electric light reduction, all with the aim of creating, you know, a marvelous workplace that people want to come to, feel comfortable working in, thrive at what they're doing, all kind of integrate together. and the daylighting lighting strategy is a very important part of that equation. >> one of the keys to this building is that we're maximizing the use of natural daylight to light the building. >> here in our south facade we have light shells. they help shade the floor, but as well light bounces off of the light she

a lot of traffic sensors are showing green this morning. we do have some areas of overnight roadwork still out there. northbound 880 between south and north mission various lanes blocked until about 6:00. your drive times for the east bay so far free and clear coming through the altamont pass. again, usually one of the first spots to back up. the nimitz and down the eastshore freeway, no delays yet through berkeley. mass transit also off to a great start. so we'll show you at least one more live traffic camera. this is a live look at 880. they are picking up overnight roadwork. it's bode directions of 580 between high -- both directions of 580 between high street and fruitvale, scheduled to wrap up by 5:00. so you may see slight delays as they pick up the cones at least in the northbound direction. high street is right up here just north of where our camera is but southbound gets by fine if you are heading towards oakland airport. coming up a check of bay area bridges. in the meantime, back to you guys. >>> all right, elizabeth. thank you.

city who has gone before a public body, made a statement and had that statement either deleted, sensored, misrepresented and the sunshine ordinance offers an extra layer of protection. and what you do in each of these cases you say that even though the body who is legally charged with deciding these cases has found a violation, we are going to ignore what they have to say, and never having looked at any of the evidence involved. and say that they are wrong. >> thank you, mr. hartz. >> commissioner hur you have a question or a comment? >> i was just going to say that i, concur with commissioner studley and i would be prepared to hear public comment and vote. >> i would move that we make a finding as suggested by commissioners. >> i would be happy to make that motion. and then we can have public comment on the motion, would that be helpful? >> yes. >> i believe that the motion is that the commission, find a better way to articulate this. the commission finds that the city library did not violate the sunshine ordinance as to all allegations referred to by the task force because the 150-word

but that car we hang back to get the follow shot as we get close to the tornado or launching sensors.out that salina, the mile wide tornado, we found out one of our sensors was recovered by a local there. i just put a facebook post out. right after this, we're driving up to salina and we have a pressure data, real time pressure data and all kinds of meteorological data from inside that tornado that could be inside one of those suction vortices and could help explain more. >> i don't want to hog the conversation. we're looking at great video here. we can see the recovery and people, activity going on. as he said, it's a follow vehicle. go ahead, jump in here, chad. >> reed, i just want people to understand why you do it. i'm going to throw the question out. this is not a loaded question. this is a real, i want your honest answer. why do you do what you do? >> well, i've loved science ever since i was 5 years old. i was in science olympiad. collected insects. still am a science nerd. when i see a tornado, i see beautiful science. but the dark side that these things leave behind is what

with sensors on your wrist and cameras you connect to a phone. the next step is smarter technology you can wear all day. google's first bid in that market is glass. which goes on your face. not clear whether people would wear something like that. >> i'd have to, like, try them out, though. i don't know if i'd wear them in public while talking to somebody. >> if they had sunglasses with tvs, i'd like that so i could walk around and watch tv while walking. >> you can't resist technology. that's the mainstream where society is heading. that's just the way that you go. >> reporter: at the d-11 conference outside l.a., twitter ceo dick costelo weighed in. >> do you wear them? >> no. >> why? >> i have these glasses. >> but you could wear them on top of it. >> i could wear them on top of these? i don't wear google glasses. i wear these. >> reporter: tick cook was in the same camp saying he doesn't think tech in glasses will catch on soon. most people only wear glasses if they have to. but he called the wrist intriguing. >> i think for something to work
