Abstract: According to an aspect of an embodiment, a method may include obtaining a blueprint associated with a retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipeline. The blueprint may define one or more objectives associated with the RAG pipeline. The method may further include performing an analysis of the RAG pipeline with respect to the one or more objectives. In some embodiments, one or more hyperparameters of the RAG pipeline may be adjusted based at least on the analysis.

Abstract: A gun safe is configured to be mounted underneath a portion of an item of furniture and to be deployable from a storage position underneath the portion of the item of furniture into a readily-accessible position adjacent the item of furniture. The gun safe includes a lockable container sized to receive a weapon therein and an articulating mount configured to secure the lockable container underneath the portion of the item of furniture in the storage position. The articulating mount includes a fixed element configured to be fixed underneath the portion of the item of furniture and an articulating element attached between the fixed element and the lockable container, the articulating element being configured to facilitate movement of the lockable container from the storage position outward and upward to a deployed position adjacent the item of furniture.

Abstract: Disclosed is an apparatus for the treatment of a wound on a patient. The apparatus is capable of administering localized negative pressure therapy to the wound using a negative pressure source and a drain line for removing exudate from the wound. The apparatus is also capable of administering localized hyperbaric fluid therapy to the wound using a fluid source and a supply line for supplying fluid to the wound.

Abstract: An optical fiber wound onto an exterior surface of a composite structure in a two-dimensional pattern and adhered thereto to detect damage to the structure caused by impacts to or handling of the composite structure.

Abstract: An optical fiber is wound onto an exterior surface of a composite structure, such as a composite overwrapped pressure vessel (“COPV”), in a two-dimensional pattern and adhered thereto, e.g., with a resin, to detect damage to the structure caused by impacts to or handling of the structure. After fabrication of the structure, a signature, or baseline, reference signal is established by detecting a light signal transmitted through the length of the fiber. Later, after the structure has been transported, handled, or placed into service, a second signal similar to the first is sent through the fiber and compared with the reference signal. Changes detected in the signal indicate that the structure may have sustained structural damage that may be invisible to external visual inspection, but that can be detected by more costly and time consuming conventional non-destructive inspection methods.

Abstract: A method of treating contaminants in soil and/or groundwater comprising adding a source of an oxidizing agent and an aqueous solution of a metal catalyst having a pH of from about 5 to 8 to the in situ environment in amounts capable of producing reactive species sufficient to oxidize at least one of the contaminants.

Abstract: An apparatus for applying a uniform load to an object includes a load application element supported to be rotatable about a first axis and movable relative to the object along a second axis to obtain an initial contact sufficient to cause any needed rotation of the load application element until an alignment is obtained between the load application element and a load receiving surface of the object. Further movement of the load application element relative to the object results in a uniformly applied load or the test object.
