The vacuum-assisted toilet system also includes at least one water actuator coupled to the water source. The water actuator is configured to control the amount of water that is supplied by the water source to the toilet bowl. The vacuum-assisted toilet system also includes a controller that is configured to at least partially control the operation of one or more components of the vacuum-assisted toilet system, such as at least one of the flush valve or the water actuator.

Enhanced abandoned call recovery for a contact center

An enhanced abandoned call recovery (“E-ACR”) process allows certain abandoned calls to be eligible for a callback call. An E-ACR assignment point defines which abandoned calls in an inbound campaign or interactive voice response (“IVR”) menu are eligible to be processed to determine whether the E-ACR callback should occur. The determination of whether a callback occurs involves various compliance tests, such as ensuring calling window, call attempts, and other regulatory concerns are addressed. Once a callback is determined to occur, it is associated with a specific campaign to ensure the called party is provided with agents having the skill set as defined for that assignment point. In this manner, only eligible callers receive an E-ACR callback, and further receive the callback in a compliant manner and handled by the same skill set of agents as would have been allocated to the caller had they not abandoned their call.

DUAL CHANNEL RINSE RING SYSTEM FOR TOILET

A rinse ring system for use on a toilet. The rinse ring is a dual channel rinse ring, which allows the toilet to be flushed with either potable water from a fresh water system or with grey water from a grey water source. Other flush fluids are possible for use. The dual channel rinse ring provides separation between entry points for potable water rinse and the grey water rinse, preventing the possibility of contamination of the potable water source with grey water.
