  • ELECTRIC VEHICLES, SYSTEMS, AND METHODS THEREOF
    Publication number: 20220258824
    Abstract: A bicycle is for use by an operator, and the bicycle includes a frame having a front wheel and a rear wheel rotatably coupled thereto. An electric motor is coupled to the frame and configured to receive electrical energy from an energy storage device and drive at least one of the wheels to thereby assist the operator in propelling the bicycle. A wind sensor is configured to sense winds acting on the bicycle and generate a measured wind sensor input. A control system is operable to control a power output of the electric motor. The control system receives the measured wind sensor input and controls the power output of the electric motor based on the wind sensor input.

  • COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS COMPRISING A COMBINATION SILAGE INOCULANT
    Publication number: 20140186929
    Abstract: Compositions and methods for the production of biogas from forage are provided. Compositions comprise a combination microbial inoculant, silage produced from forage inoculated with the combination microbial inoculant, and biogas produced from the silage. Various methods are provided for increasing biogas production and decreasing dry matter loss by inoculating forage with a combination inoculant. In certain embodiments, inoculating forage with specific combinations of bacterial strains results in a synergistic decrease in dry matter loss and a synergistic increase in biogas production. In other embodiments, inoculating a biomass composition comprising silage and sludge with specific combinations of bacterial strains results in a synergistic increase in biogas production.
