Abstract: A retention system for a slate call and a striker comprises a slate call retention sleeve for holding the slate call and a striker retention sleeve for holding the striker. The slate call retention sleeve is formed as a separate component from the striker retention sleeve. The slate call and striker retention sleeves each have an attachment mechanism for separately attaching the sleeves to an article such as clothing. The slate call and striker retention sleeves are configured to permit use of the slate call and the striker without removing the slate call and the striker from their sleeves and without detaching the sleeves from the article.

Abstract: One or more embodiments of a device for securing guitar modulators is shown. The device includes a face, a bracket, and a base. The face defines a hole that extends completely through the face with a first length in a first direction and a first width in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, wherein the first length is greater than the first width. The bracket connects under the face and extends in the first direction parallel to the hole and is configured to allow a grommet to slide along the bracket in the first direction. The base is configured to support the face.

Abstract: A tool includes a handle, and arm, a pivotable coupler, and an implement. The handle has a first end and an opposing second end. The arm has a third end and an opposing fourth end. The pivotable coupler couples the opposing second end of the handle to the third end of the arm. The handle and the arm are pivotable relative to each other about the pivotable coupler between a closed orientation and an open orientation. The handle and the arm extend in a substantially same direction when arranged in the closed orientation. The arm extends at an angle from the handle when arranged in the open orientation. The implement is coupled to the opposing fourth end of the arm.

Abstract: Techniques are described herein for routing customer support requests via a vertical stack queue. The techniques may include receiving a request for customer support from a user device and identifying a group of agents available to serve the request. The group is associated with a stack queue, and the request is routed to a first level of contact queue pool that includes the group. Upon determining whether a wait time associated the stack queue at the first level of contact queue pool exceeds a predetermined threshold, an additional group of agents to serve the request is identified in addition to the group of the plurality of groups of agents. The group and an additional group of agents are distinct from each other. Upon identifying the additional group, the request is routed to a second level of contact queue pool that includes the additional group of agents.
