An apparatus for the manufacture of corrugated plastic pipes comprises half shells. Each half shell has a base body which consists of a metal of a higher thermal conductivity and a lower specific gravity than steel and which holds a core. Provided in the core is a mold recess in which to form the corrugated pipes.

The present invention relates to cushions, pillows, mattresses, pads or the like, made of plant seeds. The plant seeds of the present invention in use in a cushion or in garment absorb magnetic or microwave radiation from a microwave or magnetic radiating sources or apparatus.

The invention is concerned with optimization of data transfer within cellular telecommunication systems, namely between base stations and base station controllers or corresponding network elements. According to the invention, the Abis link channels are divided into at least two different types of categories: a first category comprises permanent point to point type connections between the BSC and t...
