Various embodiments of a biological interface system and their related methods are disclosed. A biological interface system may include a sensor including a plurality of electrodes configured to detect multicellular signals emanating from one or more living cells of a patient and a processing unit configured to receive the multicellular signals from the sensor, to process the multicellular signals to produce processed signals, and to transmit the processed signals. The system may also include a controlled device configured to receive the processed signals from the processing unit. The processing unit may include a processing unit first portion and a processing unit second portion, where the processing unit first portion is implanted under the scalp on the skull of the patient, and the processing unit second portion is placed above the scalp of the patient at a location proximal to the processing unit first portion.

A helmet (12) includes a thermoelectric heat pump (14) mounted onto a rear surface of the helmet shell (12) for delivering temperature conditioned air to the interior of the helmet shell. A multi-layer structure (48) on the helmet shell interior distributes conditioned air across the scalp and directly onto the face. An optional scoop (38) directs ambient air to the heat pump (14). Another version locates the heat pump (68, 84) remotely and conditioned air is transmitted to the helmet apparatus (70, 78) via a flexible conduit (72, 85).

Methods and compositions for stimulating the growth of hair are disclosed wherein said compositions include a cyclopentane heptanoic acid, 2-cycloalkyl or arylalkyl compound represented by the formula I wherein the dashed bonds represent a single or double bond which can be in the cis or trans configuration, A, B, Z, X, R1 and R2 are as defined in the specification. Such compositions are used in treating the skin or scalp of a human or non-human animal. Bimatoprost is preferred for this treatment.

The invention discloses an LED (light-emitted diode) hair increasing membrane which belongs to the technical field of head nursing and structurally comprises a hair membrane body. The hair membrane body comprises a light-emitting membrane with a built-in LED light-emitting assembly, as well as a light equalizing membrane overlapped on the light-emitting membrane in a detachable manner; the light equalizing membrane is a thin light transmitting film for isolating impurities; the LED light-emitting assembly comprises a red-light LED lamp and a blue-light LED lamp which are arranged in a stagger manner; and the hair membrane body is connected with a control device. Compared with the prior art, the LED hair increasing membrane has a simple structure; and the hair membrane body is put on the head, and the red-light LED lamp and the blue-light LED lamp emit light of certain wavelength, so that the scalp can be massaged and stimulated, the hair follicle can be stimulated, and the hair can be promoted to grow. The hair membrane body can be supplied with power and controlled by the control device arranged outside, and the use is safe; in addition, the LED hair increasing membrane not only can be used independently, but also can be used with other hair products simultaneously.

Systems and methods for providing an article associated with headgear that keeps the wearer's head cool and / or cushioned from the interior harness of the headgear. The article is a system, liner or pad that is inserted into the headgear or coupled to the headgear harness for cooling and / or comfort, and includes a liquid-absorbing material contained within non-impervious pocket partitions. One or more ventilation portions and / or devices may also be included to allow for the free flow of air, breathing of the wearer's scalp and to facilitate the natural evaporation of perspiration. In some implementations, the article may be used in a variety of different headgear. As the pocket partitions swell due to absorption of a liquid by the material, the pockets function as gel-like cushions or pads that protect the wearer's scalp. The article is held in place with small straps, Velcro® tabs, or other retention devices.

A brush for hygienic purposes includes a handle with a lower and an upper portion and a head. The upper portion is sized and shaped to capture the head. Preferably the head is a removable cartridge and includes a flexible base with a plurality bristles and a pad with holes disposed over the bristles. The pad could be a foam or sponge matrix or could be a stack of sheets removable one at a time. Upper portion of the handle is curved to provide a predetermined shape to the head. Optionally, a vibrating device is incorporated in the brush so that the brush can be used as to massage the skin or scalp.

Apparatus for determining the status of hair bulk in an area of a scalp is operative to provide a metric over a sufficiently large area to permit revisiting with only negligible misalignment error. Accurate re-measurement of hair status in accurately identified areas produces a reliable metric for determining degree of hair loss and or the effectiveness of treatment.
