An object of the present invention is to provide an analysis system capable of accurately analyzing the state of a dispersion liquid without performing complicated measurement or examining each parameter. The analysis system for achieving the object is an analysis system for analyzing a state of a dispersion liquid containing a liquid dispersion medium and a solid dispersoid dispersed in the dispersion medium, and includes: a signal generator for generating signals based on interaction of the dispersion liquid with two or more types of luminescent probes; a detector for detecting the signals from the signal generator; and an analyzer for analyzing the signals detected by the detector to analyze the state of the dispersion liquid. Each luminescent probe is a compound including a binder for interacting with the dispersion medium and/or the dispersoid and a light emitter whose light emission behavior changes due to the interaction.

A printing apparatus suppressing damage to a leading end portion of a recording medium while suppressing the recording medium from falling off from a conveyance section. The printing apparatus includes: a conveyance section that conveys a recording medium in a conveyance direction in a state where a leading end portion of the recording medium is gripped and held by a gripping claw; a printing section that performs printing on the recording medium being conveyed; a gripping state detection section that detects a gripping state of the gripping claw with respect to an recording medium; and a determination section that determines presence or absence of abnormality in the gripping state of the gripping claw based on a detection result of the gripping state detection section.

An image forming apparatus of the present invention is an image forming apparatus for forming an image on a recording medium conveyed from upstream to downstream. The image forming apparatus includes: an ink ejection section for ejecting an ink onto a recording medium; and an active ray irradiation section for irradiating, with active rays, the recording medium onto which the ejected ink has landed and which is conveyed from an upstream side to a downstream side in an active ray irradiation region. The active ray irradiation section irradiates, with active rays, the recording medium such that when the active ray irradiation region is divided into two in a central portion thereof in a conveyance direction of the recording medium, maximum irradiance of the active rays is located on the downstream side.

A skeleton detection apparatus (20) includes an image acquisition section (211) that acquires an image (I), an image enlargement section (213) that generates an enlarged image (E1) by enlarging a predetermined area of the image (I), and a skeleton position information acquisition section (214) that acquires skeleton position information on a person (R1, R2, R3) included in the image (I) and the enlarged image (EI).

An image forming apparatus (1) includes: a conveyance belt (33) to which an underlay agent is not applied and that conveys a wet fabric (P) placed on the belt; and an image forming section (4) that applies ink to the wet fabric conveyed by the conveyance belt to form an image.

A droplet ejection apparatus (1) that ejects a droplet from a droplet ejection head (111), the apparatus including: a suction cap (31) for covering an ejection surface of the droplet ejection head; a suction pump (33) that suctions liquid from the droplet ejection head in a state where the suction cap covers the ejection surface; a suction tube (32) provided between the suction cap and the suction pump; and a suppressing section that suppresses clogging of the suction tube with liquid.

An image inspection apparatus (100) that compares a read image generated by reading a recording medium on which an image is formed with a reference image to detect misregistration of an image formation position on the recording medium, the apparatus including a controller (81) that: aligns an image included in the read image and an image included in the reference image; and detects the misregistration of the image formation position based on a deviation between a reference position in the read image and a reference position in the reference image in an aligned state. The controller selects a reference position used for detecting the misregistration from reference positions included in the read image and the reference image based on a position of an area in which an image is formed on the recording medium.

An image inspection apparatus (100) including a controller (81) that detects a misregistration of an image formation position on a recording medium on which an image is formed by an image forming section (40). The controller has: a first detection mode in which the misregistration is detected based on a formation position of a position detection image formed at a predetermined position on the recording medium by the image forming section; and a second detection mode in which the misregistration is detected without the position detection image being formed by the image forming section.

One aspect of a dynamic event detection apparatus (100) of the present disclosure includes: an input reception section (101) that receives an input of a moving image (201) captured by an imaging apparatus (10); a time-series-change moving image generation section (103) that generates a time-series-change moving image (211) indicating a time-series change in a moving object (206) appearing in the moving image (201); a contrast enhancement section (107) that enhances, based on the time-series-change moving image (211), contrast of a motion region in which the moving object (206) appears on the moving image (201); and a dynamic event detection section (111) that detects, based on the moving image (231) after contrast enhancement, whether a dynamic event as a target occurring.

An image forming apparatus includes: an image reader (161) configured to acquire a read image (40;41;43) by reading an image of a printed material; an inspection determination section configured to determine inspection (55) by comparing the read image read by the image reader with a correct image; a first post-inspection processing section (51) configured to perform a first post-inspection processing on a first inspection error in a first area (4011;4021;4111;4121;4311;4321) of the read image; and a second post-inspection processing section (52) configured to perform a second post-inspection processing different from the first post-inspection processing on a second inspection error in a second area (4012;4022;4112;4122;4312;4322) of the read image.
