Abstract: The present invention provides a flavor filler for a flavor inhaler, the flavor filler including: porous cellulose particles having a porosity of at least 40%; and flavor layers carried on the outer surfaces of the porous cellulose particles and containing particles containing flavor components.

Abstract: To provide an automatic loading determination apparatus that completely loads necessary models without specification by a user, out of models for which complete loading is not specified, and suppresses the occurrence of waiting time due to complete loading when the user performs manipulations, for example, reference and editing, in which data other than display data is used, for the models, for which complete loading is not specified. Necessary models are completely loaded into a free area of a main memory within an appropriate range. Specifically, necessary models are predicted in advance, and complete loading is performed for not only models specified by a user but also the necessary models up to the capacity of a main memory at the maximum.

Abstract: When a user specifies a graphic element to which he or she wants to attach a dimension line in a drawing, a dimension-line creation instructing unit identifies the graphic-element ID. Then, the user specifies a position at which he or she wants to attach the dimension line in the specified graphic element. When the user specifies a point, the coordinate values of the specified point are acquired by the dimension-line creation instructing unit. Among points constituting the graphic element (constituent points), a constituent point that is nearest to the coordinate values replaces the acquired coordinate values. Position data regarding the constituent point is represented by an offset with respect to a reference point in the graphic element. A dimension-line creating unit determines an actual position at which the dimension line is to be actually created by using a predetermined method and creates the dimension-line data.

Abstract: A method for generating a three-dimensional sheet-metal model utilizing a feature for generating a general solid model without a sheet-metal attribution is provided. The method includes the steps of estimating a thickness of a sheet-metal from a cross section designated by a user, representing a bent portion of the sheet-metal by rotating a cross section designated by the user around a set axis in accordance with a bending direction designated by the user and by sweeping the rotated cross section by a length designated by the user, representing an abutting portion by sweeping a cross section designated by the user by a length designated by the user, and realizing sheet division by a sweep slit that is formed by sweeping a tiny cross section including a division line designated by the user on a plane designated by the user.
