Abstract: Compositions, foodstuff and methods are provide herein from cereal plant or a part thereof, wherein the plant or part thereof has an altered (I,3;1,4)-p-glucan content as compared to a wild-type cereal plant or part thereof, wherein said, plant or part thereof carries one or more mutations in the CslF6 gene, wherein said mutated. CslF6 gene encodes a mutant CslF6 polypeptide, wherein said mutant CslF6 comprises at least one substitution, addition or deletion of an amino acid in a switch motif of CslF6, wherein the switch motif comprises SEQ ID NO: 14.

Abstract: A fluidic distribution system for cleaning a surface of a sensor of a vehicle comprises:—a main tank defining a main volume and configured to store a cleaning fluid; —at least one intermediate tank having an intermediate volume smaller than the main volume; —main filling means configured to allow the filling of the at least one intermediate tank with cleaning fluid from the main tank; —an air pressure tank; —compression means configured to build up the air pressure of the air in the air pressure tank; —connection means fluidically connecting the bottom of the air pressure tank to the at least one intermediate tank so that, when the air pressure is built up, the air flowing from the air pressure tank into the at least one intermediate tank via the connection means pressurizes the cleaning fluid in the at least one intermediate tank.

Abstract: A fluidic delivery system for cleaning surfaces of a vehicle includes a main tank with a main volume and configured to store a cleaning fluid at a pressure called main pressure, two secondary tanks, respectively referred to as the first tank and the second tank, each with a secondary volume, smaller than the main volume, filling means configured to allow selective filling of the first tank or the second tank with cleaning fluid, compression means configured to selectively inject air into the first tank and the second tank, and dispensing means configured to selectively dispense from the first tank or the second tank cleaning fluid and air for cleaning surfaces.

Abstract: Disclosed is an arrangement of nozzle units for a wiper arm, wherein at least one nozzle unit comprises a rigid body, has a channel through which liquid can flow into the nozzle unit and/or out of the nozzle unit, and comprises a nozzle, which is connected to the channel. The nozzle units are in communication with each other in series such that a liquid can flow from a nozzle unit into a following nozzle unit in the series, wherein at least one nozzle unit has a contact surface which is formed such that the nozzle unit cannot rotate about the longitudinal axis thereof if the contact surface contacts a surface of a wiper arm. A wiper arm comprising the arrangement is also disclosed.

Abstract: A connection piece for connecting a surface-structured end of a hose extending along a longitudinal direction to a fluid outlet is disclosed, which end comprises at least one recess in its surface, with a sealing space into which the end of the hose can be introduced. A sealing material is arranged in the sealing space, which is sufficiently fluidizable in a first processing state so that a part of the sealing material present in the sealing space can flow into the recess when the end of the hose has been pushed in, and can be hardened in a second processing state.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a windscreen wiper for a vehicle, the windscreen wiper having a wiper arm, a wiper blade, and a cover attached to the wiper arm. The windscreen wiper comprises at least one nozzle for windscreen washing fluid that forms part of the cover or is fastened to the cover. The-present disclosure also provides a vehicle comprising the windscreen wiper, a method of fastening the windscreen wiper to the vehicle, and a method of cleaning a windscreen of a vehicle.

Abstract: The invention relates to a connection piece for connecting a surface-structured end of a hose extending along a longitudinal direction to a fluid outlet, which end comprises at least one recess in its surface, with a sealing space into which the end of the hose can be introduced, and with a sealing material arranged in the sealing space, which is sufficiently fluidizable in a first processing state so that a part of the sealing material present in the sealing space can flow into the recess when the end of the hose has been pushed in, and can be hardened in a second processing state in order that the part of the sealing material which flowed into the recess and the remaining part of the sealing material can positively retain the end of the hose by the engaging of the sealing material into the recess in the sealing space against traction forces acting along the longitudinal axis of the hose.

Abstract: The invention relates to a shut-off body (1) for a valve which comprises a support ring (2) and an elastic valve membrane (3) which is arranged inside the support ring and which closes the inside of the support ring, which valve membrane is essentially flat.
