In addition to questions asked about radioactive material, other hazardous materials or chemicals, work onsite or required incoming inspections, one will have to answer if "Welding or Brazing is Required." When answering this question, the user will have to consider if the material or service is part of a fabrication requiring class A or B welding or brazing by the vendor. If you submit purchase requisitions that require welding or brazing, see the Briefs for the full announcement regarding fulfillment of this new requirement.</font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial"><br></font></div><div><b><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial">Major Systems Outage on Saturday, Sept. 18</font></b></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial">The CNI group is currently planning a major computer systems outage for Saturday, Sept. 18, 6 a.m. - 5 p.m. During this time, all major systems will be unavailable, including e-mail and access to central file services, such as the J:, K:, L:, and M: drives, home directories, group areas, etc. All services will return to full operation by 5 p.m. For additional information, contact the IT Division Helpdesk at </font><a href="mailto:helpdesk@jlab.org"><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial">helpdesk@jlab.org</font></a><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial"> or x7155.</font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial"><br></font></div><div><b><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial">Patent Your Bright Ideas at JLab</font></b></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial">Is something you have made or is something you are doing in your work at JLab patentable? If so, the process is simple: write it down and enter it into the online database. The Technology Review Committee will take it from there. Your patentable ideas greatly benefit both the lab and the inventor(s), starting with a $500 cash award granted by JSA to the inventor(s) for each patent issued by the Patent Office. Once a patent is licensed, JSA and the inventor(s) evenly split the resulting royalties after administrative costs have been recovered. Still not sure?
