Abstract: The invention relates to methods of treating baldness, treating alopecia, promoting hair growth, and/or promoting hair follicle development and/or activation or stimulation on an area of the skin of a subject (for example, a human) by subjecting said area of the skin to integumental perturbation. Integumental perturbation can be used in combination with other treatments for promoting hair growth. The invention provides devices for integumental perturbation for promoting hair growth, and provides pharmaceutical compositions for use in combination with integumental perturbation for promoting hair growth.

Abstract: A high efficiency motor for low velocity and high volume fans and other applications includes an armature, a stator and a motor shaft. The armature is made from plates that collectively have a stack height that give the armature a thickness. The plates are keyed with a keyway and the motor shaft has a key to increase alignment accuracy and armature assembly efficiency. An armature aspect ratio is determined by the armature diameter divided by the armature thickness. Similarly a stator aspect ratio is determined by a stator diameter divided by a stator thickness. The armature and the stator aspect ratios are selected to increase torque output and lower rotational speed of the motor for various power output levels. Magnetic permeability properties of the armature and stator is selected to increase operating efficiency of the motor and decrease motor size.
