Abstract: Produce titanium-group metal micro-dispersion water that contains ion vapor of titanium-group metal in micro-dispersed state and that can be used as a material for health products, medical products, cosmetics, etc., by using an apparatus comprising a water tank, a high-voltage discharge generator equipped with a titanium-group metal electrode and its counter electrode, a water inlet, an outlet for produced water, and a titanium-group metal electrode feeder, in a manner causing plasma discharge in water between the titanium-group metal electrode and its counter electrode.

Abstract: A fiber product offering health-enhancing effects is obtained by causing a fibrous substrate to contain or be bonded with finely divided titanium powder through the process of impregnation with a water solution containing finely divided titanium powder, which is obtained by dissolving metallic titanium via the combustion gas produced by combusting a gaseous oxygen/hydrogen mixture in high-pressure water in a pressure-resistant tank.

Abstract: This invention provides a method and apparatus for manufacturing titanium-dissolved water with molten titanium dissolved therein, the molten titanium being titanium metal melted by the combustion gas resulting from the combustion of a mixed gas of oxygen and hydrogen in high-pressure water, as well as the resultant titanium-dissolved water and health articles, medical articles and cosmetics utilizing the physiologically activating effect of the high-function water containing titanium.

Abstract: Produce metal particles offering high purity and uniform granular shape and size: by forming a combustion chamber comprising an injector nozzle for mixture gas of oxygen and hydrogen, an ignition device and a material metal feeder in the upper space of a high-pressure water tank filled with inert gas; igniting inside the combustion chamber via the ignition device the injector nozzle for mixture gas of oxygen and hydrogen and melting (vaporize) the material fed by the material metal feeder; and then causing the produced molten metal droplets to contact high-pressure water and let the resulting metallic particles to precipitate in water.

Abstract: As shown in FIG. 1, a hairstyle design system comprises an image-processing device 1, an input/output device 2, a graphic system 3, a display device 4, a head-development drawing information-storage device 5, and a hairstyle-design information-storage device 6. In other words, the beautician or the customer designs a desired hairstyle while looking at the display device 4. Information on the designed hairstyle is stored in the head-development drawing information-storage device 5 as numerals and/or symbols assigned to each of a plurality of divided sections. When processing hair, the beautician displays a head-development drawing on the display device 4, and by referring to the drawing the beautician cuts or applies permanent wave to the hair in order to design a hairstyle precisely as desired by the customer and reproduce a predetermined hairstyle accurately.

Abstract: Manufacture health ornaments such as necklaces, bracelets and wristbands that provide sufficient health-promoting function and effective therapeutic action for a long time, by burning a gaseous mixture of oxygen and hydrogen in high-pressure water, using the resultant gas to heat and granulate titanium material, and combining the obtained titanium powder with an elastomer material.

Abstract: The present invention realized the production of a water product having excellent physiological activity such as health promoting activity and the utilization of the water, in which ultrafine gold particles having a diameter as small as 1-2 figures in micron order, much smaller than any ordinary fine gold particles, are dissolved. According to the present invention, an aqueous ultrafine gold particle solution is produced using an apparatus comprising a pressure-resistant vessel equipped with a high-pressure water tank, a jet nozzle, an ignition device, and a combustion chamber, in which a gas mixture comprising hydrogen and oxygen is combusted in highly pressurized water, in which gold leaf fragments are suspended, and then the gold leaf fragments are heated and melted by the resulting combustion gas.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus for producing healthy drinking water containing fullerenes, which is excellent as healthy water, are provided. In high-pressure water, by burning a mixed gas of oxygen and hydrogen and burning carbon using the combustion gas generated, water containing fullerenes, which include water molecules and are floating in water, is produced. The water containing fullerenes obtained is useful as healthy drinking water.

Abstract: Damaged or imperfect hair shafts are treated by: (a) hydrating hair shafts to open flaps of the cuticles layer, (b) applying to the hair shafts amino acids or peptides effective to nourish hair, and (c) compressing the hair shafts under heat by sandwiching the hair shafts between heated plates to cause the amino acids or peptides to penetrate through the cuticle layer and close the openings between the flaps. The penetrated amino acids or peptides nourish the cortex. The hair shafts may be subjected to hair styling treatment.

Abstract: A hair iron comprises a pair of holding members having a heating surface and/or a pressing surface oppositionally on their interior surfaces being joined so that they can be flexibly opened and closed via a joint member at their ends. Furthermore, a slip preventing surface, a fingertip fitting cup and/or a finger trapping loop is formed on the exterior surface of at least one of the holding members at a position where the fingers A straddle the joint member so that a bundle of hair can be ironed flexibly by a simple finger operation.
