Abstract: Holders and dispensers for guitar picks or plectra have an elongated base portion and an upper surface adapted for holding one or more of said picks or plectra, the base portion having right and left sides and having proximal and distal ends. The proximal end is configured for loading and dispensing picks. The base portion upper surface slopes upwards from the proximal to distal end; with the upper surface defining a plurality of pick positions. The side walls extend along the sides of said base portion rising above the base portion. The side walls have flanges each defining an elongated slots above the base portion. The proximal ends of the base portion and the channels are open to receive and dispense the picks and/or plectra. A key-ring slot may be present at the distal end.

Abstract: An electrical connection pin blank having at least one compliant section is affixed to a first circuit board by compressive deformation in such a way that the compliant section of the pin blank projects outwardly from the surface of the first circuit board. The end of the pin projecting from the first circuit board is then inserted into a corresponding opening in a second circuit board and the two boards brought together until the second circuit board is firmly affixed to the complaint section of the pin by compliant pin connection.
