Abstract: A computer implemented method includes receiving anonymous entity information from a client device via a network. The anonymous entity information is used to register a user associated with the client device. User supplied anonymous information about the user is received from the network. Sensor signals from the client device are collected from the network. The user supplied anonymous information is combined with the sensor signals to produce an anonymized data package for the user. The anonymized data package is made accessible to vendor machines via the network. Transaction offers from the vendor machines are collected from the network. The transaction offers are supplied to the user device via the network. A selected transaction offer is received from the user device via the network. Network communication between the user device and a vendor machine associated with the selected transaction offer is coordinated.

Abstract: A device (10) for germinating seeds (S) is described. The device includes tubes (30) inside the container mounted on a base (31). The seeds are soaked in a solution (A) and then the spent solution (A1) is removed and the seeds are aerated through fluid outlet (22) with cover (23) and cover (12) open, such that air flows through the tubes (30) to the seeds through perforations (30a) in the tubes. The tubes are then removed and the device is carried to the place where the seeds are to be planted.

Abstract: An apparatus (10) and method for broadcasting pregerminated seed plantlets onto the ground over a wide area is described. The apparatus uses a peristaltic pump (30), which is preferably driven by a hydraulic motor (28), so that the plantlets are not damaged by the broadcasting. The plantlets are provided in a preferred dispersion for broadcasting.
