A toothbrush having a handle and a head in a display package is described. The head is attached to a neck which is attached to the handle. An indication element is between the head and the handle and is in electrical communication with a power source. A switch connects the indication element to the power source and has a first position where the indication element is not energized and a second position where the indication element is energized. An adequate force applied to the head and an at least partially translucent package body moves the switch to the second position. The package body has a first face and a second face. The first face and/or the second face have a rugose area configured to facilitate application of a force to the head and/or neck through the package body to place the switch in the second position.

A board-attachable accessory base lock has an accessory base lock-on that can removably attach to a paddleboard or similar craft. Once the base lock-on is attached, a storage repository can be removably attached to the base lock-on. The storage repository can comprise a cooler, waterproof box, a compartmented fishing box, a crate, a minnow bucket, a fishing live well, a seat, etc. The storage repository can have no top, a hingeably attached top, a removable top, a locking top, etc. The base lock-on can attach to the board via first and second lockdown bars. These bars are designed to fit universally into the hand slot that is commonly found on boards. Once the lockdown bars are situated in the hand slot, the user simply actuates the lockdown handle to secure the lockdown bars in place. Accessory bolts provide attachment of the various storage repositories to the accessory base lock-on.

The invention provides devices and methods for self-administered noninvasive retrieval of biological materials of the uterus and/or cervix. The cervical device comprises a receptacle with a variable volume receptacle cavity, a controller configured to change the volume of the receptacle cavity, a surface for collection of biological materials, and a flexible pouch for generation of suction to facilitate efficient retrieval of biological materials. The biological materials retrieved include various biomarkers of diseases and disorders of reproduction, are directly isolated from a site of pathology, and are not metabolized or diluted. Information generated by analyzing these biological materials permits early diagnosis and prognosis assessments of disease and disorders of the female reproductive organs, irregularities of pregnancy, anomalies of the fetus in utero, and microbial infections.

A portable smoking storage case for storing and using a substance for recreational or medical use is disclosed. The case comprises a body and a lid attached to a side of the body. Located within the body are a built-in rechargeable battery to power a built-in lighter that is connected to a control unit activating the lighter, a compartment for storing tools needed to use the substance, a removable container having a sealable stopper for storing the substance, and a built-in safety mechanism that is connected to a trigger switch on the control unit to prevent accidental activation of the lighter when the lid closes. The trigger switch is activated through a contact communication with the lid when the lid opens, which in turn disables the built-in safety mechanism.

Described is an automated reagent mixing container for separately storing and automatically mixing together at least two stored reagent components.

A package includes: a film including a crystalline stretched oriented film; and a breaking portion provided in the film and including one or more non-oriented portions formed by heating a part of the crystalline stretched oriented film at a temperature equal to or higher than a melting point of the crystalline stretched oriented film and facing each other with an oriented portion of the crystalline stretched oriented film interposed therebetween.

An insulated retail packaging container, method of manufacturing the same, and a method of filling the container. An embodiment of the container includes a plurality of interconnected panels establishing a flexible waterproof insulated bag. A re-closeable seal is configured to temporarily close the bag creating an enclosable receiving compartment that contains a plurality of individually packaged cups. A thermally insulating lining is secured to a majority of an internal surface of the receiving compartment. Disposed within one of the pluralities of interconnected panels is a first viewing window. The first viewing window is comprised of a transparent material, thereby allowing a user to determine a state of the retail products housed within the insulated retail packaging container without having to open the re-closeable seal when the insulated retail packaging container is operating as a cooler.
