Abstract: The invention provides for the integration of a CO-consuming process, such as a gas fermentation process, with a CO2 electrolysis process. The invention is capable of utilizing a CO2-comprising gaseous substrate generated by an industrial process and provides for one or more removal modules to remove at least one constituent from a CO2-comprising gaseous substrate prior to passage of the gaseous substrate to a CO2 electrolysis module. The invention may further comprise one or more pressure modules, one or more CO2 concentration modules, one or more O2 separation modules, and/or an H2 electrolysis module. Carbon conversion efficiency is increased by recycling CO2 produced by a CO-consuming process to the CO2 electrolysis process.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to single cell protein (SCP) products obtained from Cupriavidus necator that has been engineered to produce a favorable fatty acid profile. The biomass produced by the C. necator and the SCP products that include it contain unsaturated fatty acids that are not naturally produced by C. necator.

Abstract: A sheet dispenser for a dryer appliance includes a housing that defines a storage volume and an outlet. The storage volume is configured for receipt of a plurality of dryer sheets for dispensing. A roller is mounted to the housing within the storage volume. A motor is coupled to the roller such that the motor is operable to rotate the roller. The roller is configured to urge the plurality of dryer sheets in the storage volume through the outlet of the housing when the motor rotates the roller.

Abstract: A method of operating a laundry appliance includes displaying a searchable and sortable list of available cycles for the laundry appliance on a user interface associated with the laundry appliance. The method also includes receiving a user input. The user input includes a selected cycle from the list of cycles. The method further includes downloading the selected cycle to the laundry appliance and activating the laundry appliance according to the downloaded cycle.

Abstract: Methods and non-naturally occurring strains for the continuous production of single-cell protein (SCP) from gaseous substrates. Further, the gaseous substrate comprises CO2 and an energy source. The non-naturally occurring strains are capable of continuously growing autotrophically at up to about 40° C. SCP can be used as an ingredient in food or feed.

Abstract: Methods and a recombinant C1-fixing microorganism for the continuous production of products from gaseous substrates. Further, the gaseous substrate comprises CO2 and an energy source. The recombinant C1-fixing microorganism has a disruptive mutation in a membrane bound hydrogenase gene. The C1-fixing microorganism having the disruptive mutation minimizes the H2:CO2 uptake ratio.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to single cell protein (SCP) products obtained from Cupriavidus necator that has been engineered to produce digestive enzymes or otherwise enhanced. The biomass produced by the C. necator and the SCP products that include it contain digestive enzymes that are not naturally produced by C. necator.

Abstract: An oven appliance may include a cabinet, a heat source, a temperature sensor, a user interface, and a controller. The cabinet may define a cooking chamber. The heat source may be disposed within the cooking chamber. The controller may be configured to direct a monitoring operation. The monitoring operation may include measuring a first temperature of a food item within the cooking chamber of the oven appliance, determining elapse of a detection interval instance, measuring a second temperature of the food item, calculating a temperature delta between the second temperature and the first temperature, determining the temperature delta is within a predetermined functional range, determining a time delta of time, estimating a remaining time of the food item based on the time delta in response to determining the temperature delta is within the predetermined functional range, and presenting the estimated remaining time at the user interface of the oven appliance.

Abstract: Methods of operating a washing machine at a remote user interface device in wireless communication with the washing machine appliance may include obtaining an image of the wash basket, generating an overlay representing one or more operating parameters of the washing machine appliance, and displaying the image and the overlay simultaneously on a display of the remote user interface device. The method also includes receiving a control input at the remote user interface device and directing the washing machine appliance based on the control input received at the remote user interface device.

Abstract: A dryer appliance includes a drum defining a chamber and being rotatably mounted within a cabinet, an air handler for selectively urging a flow of air through the chamber, and a heating assembly for selectively heating the flow of air. A controller is operably coupled to the air handler and the heating assembly and is configured to determine that a self-clean condition is satisfied, determine that the chamber is empty, lock the door, and operate the air handler and the heating assembly to perform a self-clean cycle.

Abstract: A dryer appliance may include a cabinet, a drum, an additive dispensing assembly, and a controller. The drum may be rotatably mounted within the cabinet. The drum may define a drying chamber for the receipt of clothes for drying. The additive dispensing assembly may be positioned within the cabinet and configured to selectively provide an additive to the drying chamber. The controller may be in operable communication with the additive dispensing assembly. The controller may be configured to initiate a drying operation. The drying operation may include initiating a dry cycle, detecting a static event during the dry cycle, and directing a supplemental dispensing action of a dryer additive in response to the detected static event.
