  • Publication number: 20170258225
    Abstract: A table assembly includes a first table having a first edge, and a ganging member. The ganging member includes a connecting member and a first affixing member. The first affixing member affixes the connecting member to the first table in a first ganging position, in which the connecting member extends a first distance beyond the first edge and connects the first table to a first furniture unit to gang the first furniture unit to the first table, and a second ganging position, in which the connecting member extends a second distance beyond the first edge, and gangs the first table to the first furniture unit and to a second furniture unit in series. The second distance is greater than the first distance.

  • Patent number: 4042907
    Abstract: Apparatus for correcting measurement errors due to cycle skipping in acoustic-wave transit time measurements.The measurement made during sequence N-1 is stored in an auxiliary memory and compared with the next measurement (sequence N). If the difference between the two successive measurements is smaller than a given fraction of the average period of the acoustic waves used, the measurement of sequence N is transmitted to a measurement memory and recorded. Otherwise, it is the last measurement considered good which is recorded. Moreover, in case of erroneous measurement, the transfer of the control signal for the gain applied to the reception signal is stopped and the gain remains at its former value.Significant improvement in the quality of acoustic well-logging recordings is achieved.
