  • Patent number: 11724771
    Abstract: Method and device for dynamically controlling a range of an electrically-assisted bicycle comprising an energy storage and an electric motor, wherein the method is calculating a route from the current bicycle location to the target location, dividing the calculated route into at least two segments, calculating, for each of the at least two segments, an amount of energy to be provided to the electric motor such that an energy threshold of the energy storage is maintained for the at least two segments under consideration of an environmental value and a currently available charge of the energy storage and calculating an assistance factor therefrom according to which energy is provided to the electric motor during the first segment and wherein the amount of energy to be provided to the electric motor and the assistance factor is recalculated for the second segment if an amount of energy consumed during the first segment exceeds a predetermined deviation threshold.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9571006
    Abstract: A method for the operation of an electrical circuit taking the form of a multi-level half-bridge (MLHB), and a multi-level half-bridge designed for implementation of the method, comprising two connections to which a bridge voltage is applied and which are connected via two symmetrical branches meeting at a central connection, wherein a central voltage is applied to the central connection against the potential of one of the connections.
