Abstract: A method in a control arrangement of a vehicle and a control arrangement for a vehicle for downshifting gears in an uphill slope are presented. The method comprises, when the vehicle is travelling in an uphill slope using an initial gear of the vehicle's automated manual transmission gearbox: simulating at least one speed profile for a downshift to, and a usage of, at least one gear; determining that a minimal speed of each one of the at least one simulated speed profile has a value indicating that the actual speed of the vehicle will be less than or equal to zero in the uphill slope; opening a clutch before is reduced to a value less than zero; activating at least one vehicle brake; shifting vehicle's automated manual transmission gearbox to a start gear; closing the clutch; and deactivating the at least one vehicle brake.

Abstract: A method for determining a reference control profile for a vehicle, including determining (A1) a plurality of control profiles for the vehicle (1) based on topographic information for one and the same future route segment and selecting (A2) one of the plurality of control profiles as a reference control profile, the selection (A2) being based on a tradeoff criterion considering resource consumption and drivability of the plurality of control profiles. The disclosure also relates to a control arrangement (2) for determining a reference control profile for a vehicle (1) and a vehicle comprising the control arrangement (2).

Abstract: A combination nozzle and a device for applying a viscous material, particularly an adhesive, to a component edge includes two wide-slot nozzles lying close to one another. The first nozzle applies the viscous material and the second nozzle supplies a gas such as air for shaping the applied material bead. A nozzle mount has a guide roller placed on and movable about the edge of the component during application. A connector element via a connecting mechanism allows movement of the nozzle mount parallel to the surface normal on the component edge to press the guide roller against the edge during the application process by a spring mechanism. With the proposed combination nozzle and the proposed device, an optimal wetting of the component edge with the viscous material can be achieved, and additionally the component tolerances are compensated without the necessity of an elaborate sensor system.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for cleaning fluid media containing particulate matter, particularly from livestock husbandry, by means of ozonization in a closed ozonization container (11) and subsequent separation of the particulate matter portions. A vertically extending hollow cylindrical fixture (17) is disposed in the closed ozonization container (11). The fixture (17) is operatively connected to a rotating agitator shaft (16), wherein agitation means (18, 19) are associated with the agitator shaft (16), and the fixture (17) is equipped with supply lines (22, 23) by means of which ozone can be fed.
