Abstract: A control device for controlling a kite steering arrangement, including a base, a control bar support extending downward on the base, a control bar pivot point mounted displaceably about the control bar support, a pair of interconnecting members extending between opposing end regions of the control bar and the base upper the control bar support, a tensioning mechanism, a base pivot point, a base rotator for allowing rotation of the base about a vertical axis thereof, a manipulator that manipulates the base pivot point and base rotator, and a communicator, that communicates adjustment of the interconnecting members to the kite steering arrangement. The length aspect of the interconnecting members is adjusted by pivoting the control bar about the control bar pivot point and/or by displacement of the control bar pivot point relative the control bar support.

Abstract: The invention relates to a tsunami alarm system that integrates information from seismic measurement stations or tsunami warning stations by applying the data collection procedures of the warning detection and consolidation station 30. In conjunction with the warning assessment and alarm station 40 the system decides by its alarm logic, whether an alarm is raised. Alarms are distributed by the distribution list manager 50 via the mobile telephony network operators 60 to the mobile devices and mobile telephones 70 of the participating people. The pervasion application 80, which resides on the mobile telephone or mobile device, increases the likelihood that alarms are not overheard and hence get noticed. In this way the invention enables people to take preventive action many minutes before the devastating tsunami arrives. Further, the invention relates to a method for providing tsunami warning messages and a computer program for processing said method.
