Patent number: 8757295Abstract: The invention relates to a drill for realizing a partially tapered bore hole in a soil covering a hardpan layer. The drill comprises a rotatable drivable unit that is provided with a carrying structure and a multiple number of cutting elements carried by the carrying structure. The multiple number of cutting elements are arranged along a line extending substantially radially and outwardly from a central axis of the rotatable drivable unit. Further, lower ends of cutting elements in a radial inner section are mainly positioned in a plane transversely to the rotation axis of the rotatable drivable unit. Lower ends of cutting elements in a radial outer section are mainly positioned in a downwardly tapered surface having a symmetry axis coinciding with the rotation axis of the rotatable drivable unit. The lower ends of the cutting elements may subscribe, during rotation, a truncated cone surface.Type: GrantFiled: December 6, 2010Date of Patent: June 24, 2014Assignee: Holding P.M.M. Hoff B.V.Inventor: Petrus Mattheus Maria Hoff

Patent number: 8752330Abstract: The invention relates to a plant aid for surrounding a young plant. The plant aid comprises a tube at least partly sideways surrounding a young plant placeable in the plant aid. The plant aid further comprises a water collection sheet for collecting moisture present in the atmosphere. The water collection sheet comprises a water collection surface comprising a receiving surface, which receiving surface operatively makes a first angle with respect to the orientation of gravity. The water collection sheet further comprises a collecting surface adjoining a lower edge of the receiving surface, which collecting surface operatively makes a second angle with respect to the orientation of gravity. The first angle is smaller than the second angle.Type: GrantFiled: April 24, 2012Date of Patent: June 17, 2014Assignee: P.M.M. Hoff Holding B.V.Inventor: Petrus Mattheus Maria Hoff

Publication number: 20120284140Abstract: A method for drop auction of an entity comprises providing an electronic system for auction of an entity, and allowing a selling party to enter a definition of the entity to be auctioned and a maximum asking price into the electronic system. An asking price which drops stepwise from the maximum asking price to a minimum asking price is determined. The entity is electronically offered by informing potential buyers about the current asking price. The number, the size and/or the duration of the steps by which the asking price drops is predetermined by a manager of the electronic system.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 26, 2012Publication date: November 8, 2012Applicant: HOLDING P.M.M.
