An adaptable-tool hook comprises a wire-frame buckle and hook with a strap. A deterministic function \u0192 only tracks unique state transitions, and not the dwell times in each state. The engaging element includes a base plate having a first surface contacting with the evaporation section of the heat pipe and a second surface thermally contacting with the heat generating electronic component, and at least a resilient strip sandwiched between the first surface of the base plate of the engaging element and the mounting element.
