Abstract: An artificial intelligence digital assistant that retrieves and consolidates data from diverse sources is described. After a system initiates a response to an information request received from a user, a language model generates a high-dimensional vector that represents the information request from the user. The language model identities data access tools that access corresponding data types identified for the information request. The system executes the identified data access tools that retrieve, from corresponding data sources, data values from corresponding data records represented by corresponding unique high-dimensional vectors that have similarities, which exceed a confidence level, to the high-dimensional vector that represents the information request. The system sends a consolidation of the data values in the response to the user.

Abstract: Embodiments of a solar table mobile transport with collapsible manipulators are described. The collapsible manipulators may be scissor lifts, direct lifts, or pivot lifts, that couple to a torque tube of the solar table and provide at least vertical movement of the solar table. Once the mobile transport approaches an installation spot between installation piles, the mobile transport lifts the solar table by unfolding the collapsible manipulators such that that solar table may cross the pile line and the mobile transport can maneuver between the installation piles. The compactness of the mobile transport, especially when the collapsible manipulators are vertically installed, greatly enhances the maneuverability of the mobile transport within the limited space between the piles. Such a capability of mobile transport maneuverability in combination of solar table alignment facilitates an installation efficiency of the solar table.
