  • Publication number: 20160255764
    Abstract: A seed growing device, method, and system are described. The seed growing device may comprise a solid-shape and a seed-enclosure located within the solid-shape. The solid-shape may comprise a mixture. The mixture may comprise a dry acid and a dry base. The seed-enclosure may comprise a seed and/or spore. The seed-enclosure may comprise an outer-layer that may be dissolvable upon contact with liquid water.

  • Publication number: 20160255765
    Abstract: A manually operated seed transferring device that is portable, self-contained and simple to operate. The device consists of a barrel, a nib holder, and a nib. The barrel is hollow and acts as a reservoir for a liquid. The outside of the barrel is designed to be held comfortably in the fingers. The nib holder is attached to the barrel and is designed to hold the nib securely. The nib is of a material which absorbs liquids such as water which is conveyed from inside the barrel to the nib through capillary action and gravity.

  • Publication number: 20160255774
    Abstract: An agricultural machine with a mechanism involving rotating fingers for gathering crops towards an entry port, such as a rotating auger tube, has fingers mounted to be rotatable about a shaft that is itself movable inside the rotating tube, as the ends of the shaft are supported by a pair of cams. The ends of the shaft are movable along cam tracks which impose movement of the shaft along a pre-defined trajectory. Through a suitable coupling mechanism, the rotation of the tube drives the movement of the shaft ends in the cam tracks and hence the movement of the shaft itself, while the shaft remains parallel to the tube's rotation axis.

    Abstract: Systems and methods to supply water to plants in a direct and efficient manner by employing aboveground plumbing to individual plants, but not allowing the water to be dispersed aboveground. The water is directed to an underground container or cartridge assembly that dispenses the water through a dissipater (e.g., wick) into the surrounding soil. The cartridge assembly of the underground irrigation system may be installed in-line with supply water lines and deep enough that the dispersed water does not return near the surface which allows for working the soil over the underground irrigation system. Each of the cartridge assemblies of the underground irrigation system may be installed in line between two plants in a narrow trench at a depth of approximately 6 to 12 inches (e.g., 8 inches), so that each end of each cartridge assembly supplies water to one side of one of the two plants.
