Abstract: Disclosed herein is a boxing glove that includes an interior liner. The interior liner comprises an exterior surface and an interior surface. The interior surface defines an interior pocket configured to receive a hand of a user. The boxing glove also includes a shock-absorption layer that is coupled with at least a portion of the exterior surface of the interior liner. The shock-absorption layer includes a lattice comprising a three-dimensional arrangement of at least one repeating pattern of interconnected cells.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method of cleaning a jar of an electric blender. The method comprises inserting a cleaning pod into the jar of the electric blender. The cleaning pod comprises at least one cleaning agent comprising a detergent. The method also comprises adding water into the jar to submerse the cleaning pod. The method further comprises rotating blades of the electric blender to mix the detergent of the cleaning pod with the water to form a mixture. The method additionally comprises circulating the mixture in the jar via rotation of the blades to remove residue, on interior surfaces of the jar and/or the blades, from the interior surfaces and to add removed residue to the mixture. The method also comprises removing the mixture from the jar after the residue is added to the mixture.

Abstract: A protective guide for protecting a cell extraction device during a Pap smear. A camera protective cover encloses a camera and a light emitting device. A thin, flexible transparent sheath encloses the camera cover. A cell extraction device cover encloses the cell extraction device. The location of the cervix is determined by utilizing the camera. The cell extraction device is pushed outward from the cell extraction device cover so that said cell extraction device head contacts the cervix and removes cells from the cervix. The cell extraction device is pulled back into the cell extraction device cover after the cells have been removed from the cervix. In a preferred embodiment the camera and light emitting device is an endoscope and the camera cover is an endoscope cover.

Abstract: A protective guide for protecting a cell extraction device used during a Pap smear. An access tunnel receives the cell extraction device and allows for access and movement of the cell extraction device. A protective chamber covers and protects the head of the cell extraction device as the cell extraction device is being removed and inserted from the patient's vagina. A protective guide connector attaches the protective guide to an imaging transducer. After inserted into the patient's vagina, the location of the patient's cervix is determined by utilization of the imaging transducer. Once the cervix is located the cell extraction device is pushed outward from the protective chamber so that the cell extraction device head contacts the cervix and then removes cells from the cervix. The cell extraction device head is then pulled back into the protective chamber and the protective guide is removed from the patient's vagina.
