Seismic Network

The Brinco - a small, round, flat, metallic cylinder - is a networked seismic warning and monitoring system with an accompanying mobile app.

Nepal's record of earthquakes dates to at least the 13th century, with significant temblors striking every 75 years or so. And through all that time, in Nepal as in most seismically active areas, there has been one constant: people in the path of destruction have had no idea when the shaking would start.

A 7.3-magnitude earthquake which struck northwest China's remote and sparsely-populated Xinjiang region yesterday has affected over 7,800 people as seismologists warned that the powerful tremble signals a seismically active period for the Earth.
