Load Test of Alum-a-Lift Serial No. 33053261

An Alum-A-Lift A800CSPD-60 (Lift) was procured to support mechanical testing of programmatic equipment. This testing will take place within the Bldg. 131 Hi Bay. The design of the Lift procured for the purposes at LLNL was a modification of a machine that had previously been engineered and sold by Alum-a-Lift, see Fig. 1. The modification was to shorten the boom from a 56 in. length to a 28 in. length. The modified design is illustrated in Fig. 2. The Lift was fabricated and shipped to LLNL, received ~ June 2022. Upon arrival, it was successfully evaluated for “no-load” performance capability. Upon inspection of the documentation provided by Alum-a-Lift, it was noted that the load test was performed to qualify the machine for a lifting capacity of 200 lb. The LLNL requirement was that the capacity of the machine be 400 lb. Conversations with the vendor, Alum-A-Lift, followed this discovery. Rather than send the machine back to the vendor for load testing, discussions concurred that LLNL would load test the machine and Alum-A-Lift would provide the relevant load test placard to be placed on the machine subsequent to the successful load test. This MESN provides documentation of the load test to qualify the Alum-a-Lift to its’ rated capacity of 400 lb.

Redox-controlled reorganization and flavin strain within the ribonucleotide reductase R2b–NrdI complex monitored by serial femtosecond crystallography

Redox reactions are central to biochemistry and are both controlled by and induce protein structural changes. Here, we describe structural rearrangements and crosstalk within the Bacillus cereus ribonucleotide reductase R2b–NrdI complex, a di-metal carboxylate-flavoprotein system, as part of the mechanism generating the essential catalytic free radical of the enzyme. Femtosecond crystallography at an X-ray free electron laser was utilized to obtain structures at room temperature in defined redox states without suffering photoreduction. Together with density functional theory calculations, we show that the flavin is under steric strain in the R2b–NrdI protein complex, likely tuning its redox properties to promote superoxide generation. Moreover, a binding site in close vicinity to the expected flavin O 2 interaction site is observed to be controlled by the redox state of the flavin and linked to the channel proposed to funnel the produced superoxide species from NrdI to the di-manganese site in protein R2b. These specific features are coupled to further structural changes around the R2b–NrdI interaction surface. The mechanistic implications for the control of reactive oxygen species and radical generation in protein R2b are discussed

Concept for simplified serial digital decoder

Modular decoder, which lends itself best to special purpose digital equipment using sequential access memories, decodes the first order Reed-Muller codes. It functions as a maximum-likelihood exhaustive-search decoder and is a modular implementation to accommodate codes of any length.

High resolution Fouier transform spectrometer Serial No. 091002: Instruction manual

A description of the spectrometer and procedures for its operation, maintenance, alignments, adjustments, and control functions are presented. The interferometer spectrometer is a modified Model 296 capable of 0.5/cm resolution over the spectral region of 5 to 15 microns configured for operation with the optical head at a temperature of approximately 80 K. Details are given on the optical system and the electronic circuits. The detector used with the optical head is mercury doped germanium kept at a temperature of about 4 K by means of liquid helium. Electronic schematics, and instruction manuals for handling the liquid helium dewars, tape recorder for analog outputs, and playback console are included.
