Abstract: A device for corrugating a metal pipe having a corrugation extending transversely of its longitudinal direction. The device has a ring-shaped corrugating head drivable by a first electric motor and is rotatable about its axis in the operating position and a ring-shaped corrugation disc, coupled to the ring-shaped corrugating head, projects radially inwardly from the corrugation head. The corrugation disc is mounted in the corrugation head so as to be adjustable in the radial direction. A support, coupled to the corrugation head, is arranged so as to also be rotatable about the axis of the corrugation head. An adjusting mechanism acting on the corrugation disc is mounted on the corrugation head. The adjusting mechanism serves for radially adjusting the corrugation disc and is adjustable by the support. The support is connected to a second electric motor serving for rotating the support about the axis (A) of the corrugation head.

Abstract: A corrugating unit is used which presses a first corrugation into the pipe which is moved in its longitudinal direction through the corrugating device. The spacing between the wave peaks is subsequently reduced, for obtaining a second corrugation, by a clamping unit composed of two separately arranged clamping devices resting against the pipe. The pipe provided with a first corrugation is pressed continuously by the first clamping device against a fixed point realized by the second clamping device, which, in the position of operation, is arranged, in relation to the clamping device, in axial direction behind the first clamping device. Both clamping devices are removed cyclically from the pipe and are moved back into a new position in the opposite direction of the direction of movement of the pipe and, in this new position, again rest in the two different areas against the pipe.

Abstract: A method is provided for producing a pipe from a band which has a layer of a first metal and a layer of a second metal, the layers being metallurgically bonded to one another over the entire length of the band. Along the two longitudinal edges of the band, the first metal is removed from the second metal in strips which run over the entire length of the band. The band is formed into the open-seam pipe with the first metal located on the outside, and the abutting edges of the layer of the second metal are welded to one another forming a pipe which is closed all the way round. In the region of the weld seam, a layer of the first metal is then deposited on the second metal to produce a pipe with a layer of the first metal which is closed all the way round.

Abstract: A method for producing a tube (10) from metal, which consists of an inner tube (5) and at least one outer tube (7) surrounding the same, is provided. To create the outer tube (7), a metal strip (2) running in longitudinally is formed around the inner tube (5) moved in its axial direction so as to form a slit tube in such a way that its edges running in the longitudinal direction lie against one another at a slit extending in the longitudinal direction.

Abstract: A method and a subscriber station for allocating rights of access to a telecommunications channel of the telecommunications network to at least one subscriber station (5, 10, 15, 20) are proposed in which information signals are transmitted to the at least one subscriber station (5, 10, 15, 20). With the information signals, access authorization data (45, 50, 55) are transmitted to the at least one subscriber station (5, 10, 15, 20). Upon reception of the access authorization data (45, 50, 55) in an evaluation unit (6) of the at least one subscriber station (5, 10, 15, 20), the question is asked whether the access authorization data (45, 50, 55) include an access threshold value (S), and the access threshold value (S) is compared with a random number or a pseudo-random number (R), and the right of access to a telecommunications channel of the at least one subscriber station (5, 10, 15, 20) is granted as a function of the outcome of comparison.
