The present invention provides a composition for treating or preventing skin pigmentation, which contains fibroblasts as an active ingredient, wherein the fibroblasts are those fibroblasts which are less damaged than fibroblasts localized in a site where the skin pigmentation occurs, and the composition is characterized by being intended to be applied to a site where the pigmentation occurs or a dermis tissue around the site.

There is disclosed a method of controlling an electron gun without causing decreases in brightness of the electron beam if a current-limiting aperture cannot be used. The electron gun () has a cathode (), a Wehnelt electrode (), a control electrode (), an anode (), and a controller (). The Wehnelt electrode () has a first opening () in which the tip of the cathode is inserted, and focuses thermal electrons emitted from the tip of the cathode (). The thermal electrons emitted from the tip of the cathode () are caused to pass into a second opening () by the control electrode (). The anode () accelerates the thermal electrons emitted from the cathode () such that the thermal electrons passed through the second opening () pass through a third opening () and impinge as an electron beam (B) on a powdered sample (). The controller () sets the bias voltage and the control voltage based on combination conditions of the bias voltage and control voltage to maintain the brightness of the beam constant.

A lower punch is arranged to be inserted into a cavity of a die from a lower side of the die. A upper punch is arranged to be inserted into the cavity from an upper side of the die to compact the powder filled in the cavity, in cooperation with the lower punch. A feeder supplies the powder into the cavity. A first cam driving system has a first cam for vertically moving the die relative to the lower punch. A second cam driving system has a second cam for vertically moving the upper punch. A third cam driving system has a third cam for moving the feeder forward or backward relative to the cavity. A contact member is connected to the first cam driving system. A stopper is located above or below the contact member and regulates relative vertical movement of the die with respect to the lower punch, in cooperation with the contact member. A fourth cam driving system has a fourth cam for vertically moving the stopper. The first cam, the second cam, the third cam, and the fourth cam are rotated in synchronism.

The present invention is a cosmetic product counseling system in which a user terminal is provided with skin diagnostic equipment for measurement of the skin of customers. Cosmetic products suited for the customers are selected based on skin condition data obtained from the skin diagnostic equipment before selecting a cosmetic product and attribute data entered from the user terminal which are in the server. A product selection DB is provided in which product matrices linking each item contained in the skin condition data and product characteristics of the cosmetics are stored. Then, based on result skin condition data indicating skin condition of the customer after using the selected cosmetic product and usage evaluation data entered by the customer responding to a questionnaire, the cosmetic product is reselected until a predetermined satisfaction rating is obtained from the customer.

A process for manufacturing amorphous alloy powders is provided, wherein, a high-speed fluid jet is blown against a flowing melt of an alloy which can be formed into amorphous powders, thereby powerizing the melt and rapidly cooling and solidifying the melt. Use is made of an action tube in which pressure is reduced and turbulent flow is caused so as to increase the cooling rate of the powderized alloy and to form particles of irregular shape. Further, the powderized alloy particles are forced to forcibly collide against a block to increase the cooling rate of the alloy and to form particles of irregular shape.
