  • Publication number: 20220172435
    Abstract: In a reception step, use information which is transmitted from a user terminal in the case where a flavor suction tool is used, and indicates that the flavor suction tool is used is received. In an allocation step, on the basis of the received use information, a virtual space is allocated to the user terminal. In a transmission step, display information for displaying the virtual space is transmitted to the user terminal. In a distribution step, a message transmitted from the user terminal is distributed to another user terminal allocated to the virtual space.

  • Publication number: 20220022546
    Abstract: An aerosol supply device includes: an accommodating part (cartridge) configured to accommodate a liquid; an atomization unit configured to atomize the liquid to generate an aerosol; a discharge port configured to discharge the generated aerosol to the outside of the aerosol supply device; and a volatilization preventing part (solenoid valve or duckbill valve) capable of opening and closing a passage (first passage or second passage) through which at least one of the liquid or the aerosol flows between the accommodating part and the outside of the aerosol supply device.

  • Publication number: 20220022534
    Abstract: This aerosol supply device is provided with: an accommodating section (cartridge) that accommodates a liquid; an atomizing unit that atomizes the liquid to generate an aerosol; and an atomizing amount adjusting unit (gyro sensor and control unit) that adjusts the atomizing amount of the atomizing unit. The aerosol supply device is characterized in that the atomizing amount adjusting unit (gyro sensor and control unit) stabilizes the atomizing amount regardless of the inclination of the aerosol supply device within at least a certain range.

  • Patent number: 10093912
    Abstract: Provided is a novel improved nitrile hydratase with improved resistance to amide compounds under high temperatures. Specifically provided is a nitrile hydratase having at least one amino acid mutation selected from (a) to (d) below, in the amino acid sequence expressed in SEQ ID NO:50 (X1 to X27 represent independent arbitrarily-defined amino acid residuals). (a) X1 is valine or glycine (b) X9 is valine or threonine (c) X23 is an amino acid selected from a group consisting of isoleucine, leucine, methionine and threonine, (d) X24 is leucine.
