1. Earthquake alert system having two or more sensors for detecting tremor
signals, and having means for electrical signal processing for processing andanalyzing the tremor signals, characterized in that the system comprises at least
two detection units each having a tremor sensor and electronic signal processingmeans, wherein the signal processing means of each detection unit are set up insuch a manner that they detect primary waves of earthquakes on the basis of thesignal of the tremor sensor, and wherein the detection units are connected with
one another by way of an electronic data bus.
2. Earthquake alert system according to claim 1, characterized in that the signal
processing means are furthermore set up in such a manner that they calculatecharacteristic variables from the detected primary waves, which variables are ameasure of the destructive effect of subsequent secondary waves, and that theycompare the calculated characteristic variables with threshold values, whereby an
alarm is activated as a function of the result of the comparison.
3. Earthquake alert system according to one of claims 1 and 2, characterized inthat the electronic data bus is configured at least partially as a wirelessconnection.

＊＊＊START＊＊＊[0001] This application claims priority from and the benefit of U.S. provisional
patent application Ser. No. 61/088,369, filed Aug. 13, 2008, entitled Wristwatchwith a Concave Lens, all of which are incorporated herein by reference.
＊＊＊END＊＊＊FIELD OF INVENTION[0002] The present invention generally relates to wristwatch technology and more
specifically to a watch that provides for an increase in the ability for the user
to see the time markings, further reduces glare, and is innately scratch
resistant.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003] It is well known that people have needed the ability to accurately telltime. As human mobility has increased so has the need to have a portable sourcethat can keep time. Originally, the pocket watch was invented that mainly
consisted of watch gears surrounded in a metal casing. The metal casingprotected the glass face of the pocket watch from accidental scratching ordamage. The pocket watch has been slowly replaced by wristwatches, which provided
an easier mobility and easy since they were not carried in the users pocket. As aconsequence of the new ease of mobility created by the wristwatch, the damage tothe class covering the watch hands and gears has become more prevalent. Therefore,
it has become advantageous to for wristwatches to be designed forscratch-resistance.
＊＊＊START＊＊＊[0004] One of the main methods to achieve scratch-resistance is by using scratch
resistant glass or crystal to cover the watch face. Scratch-resistant substances
have had many applications and their use in watches has great advantages since
the watch lens is not significantly more difficult to be damaged. However, theadditional cost of a scratch-resistant glass watch makes the use of such glassless desirable, in addition to that the glass is scratch-resistant and notscratch proof. The use of plastic as a watch cover has been used as well. Whereas,
this change in material addresses the cost factor, it is rarely as clear as glass1

or crystal and does not provide the aesthetic appeal many watch owners' desire. In
addition, plastic is usually easy to scratch, but more difficult to crack than its
glass counterpart.
[0005] Another method of scratch resistance has been by using a guard thatsurrounds the watch face. This guard prevents the user from scratching the glass
face of the watch when laying it face down. These guards, however, limit theviewing angle of the watch face and make time reading somewhat difficult.
[0006] Thus, the needs have not yet be met satisfactorily.

[0044] In accordance with the invention, a new method for the elimination ofcarbon dioxide from waste gases using an absorbent composition is disclosed.
When waste gases are contacted with the absorbent composition, the carbon dioxide
within the waste gases is absorbed or dissolved into the absorbent composition
thereby eliminating carbon dioxide from the waste gases.
[0045] As shown in FIG. 3, the present invention is a method of transferring
carbon dioxide in increased concentrations using perfluorodecalin(パーフルオロデカリン）for growth of algae（藻類）in a photobioreactor 10. Algae
is known for attracting and accumulating on its surface both carbon dioxide andoxygen as long as space is available. By way of example, a photobioreactor isused throughout this description but, by no means, is the photobioreactor theonly bioreactor suited for production of algae for use in the present invention.
By way of example only, a photobioreactor that is used in the prior art isillustrated at FIG. 2. By adding perfluorodecalin to the biological growth medium
within the photobioreactor system, the solubility of carbon dioxide will be
increased in the biological growth medium. The increased concentration of carbon
dioxide is then available for use by the algae in photosynthesis and thus theproductivity of algae will increase. Furthermore, since perfluorodecalin will
also carry oxygen away from the algae, it is believed that perfluorodecalin willfurther enhance the growth and fat content of the algae.
