An image forming apparatus (100) includes an apparatus body (103), and a control unit (102) configured to acquire reuse information, toner information, and life information stored in the memory (M2) of the cartridge (10). The control unit (102) is configured to (i) in a case where the reuse information is acquired from the memory (M2), acquire second toner information related to an amount of toner of the cartridge (10) that has been reused, (ii) in a case where the first toner information is different from the second toner information, set second life information different from the first life information, and store the second life information in the memory (M2), the second life information being set according to the second toner information, and (iii) control a timing at which replacement of the cartridge (10) is prompted based on the second life information stored in the memory (M2).

A control apparatus detects a subject from an image captured by an imaging unit, determines a predetermined composition for capturing the detected subject, and controls pan, tilt, and zoom of the imaging unit so that the detected subject is captured with the predetermined composition. The control apparatus determines the predetermined composition by combining two or more compositions selected from among a first composition based on a plurality of subjects, a second composition based on an orientation of the subject, a third composition based on a posture of the subject, and a fourth composition based on a predetermined set region.

A light emitting element includes a first reflection mirror provided on a semiconductor substrate, a second reflection mirror provided on the first reflection mirror, a resonator provided between the first reflection mirror and the second reflection mirror, an active layer included in the resonator and including a quantum well layer and a barrier layer, a doped layer provided on at least one of a side of the active layer facing the semiconductor substrate and a side opposite to the semiconductor substrate, a spacer layer provided between the doped layer and the barrier layer and having a band gap larger than a band gap of the barrier layer, and a saturable absorption layer provided between the semiconductor substrate and the second reflection mirror, wherein a doping concentration of the spacer layer is lower than a doping concentration of the doped layer.

An image forming apparatus includes a photosensitive drum, a charging member, a transfer member, a first conveyance path, one or more first conveyance roller pairs, a reverse conveyance member, a second conveyance, and one or more second conveyance roller pairs. The second conveyance path merges with the first conveyance path at a position upstream of the transfer portion in the first conveyance direction. The second conveyance path includes a guide member. A downstream end of the guide member in the second conveyance direction forms an upstream edge, in the first conveyance direction, of an opening portion that is a merging portion where a conveyance space of the second conveyance path communicates with a conveyance space of the first conveyance path.

An image pickup apparatus (100) includes an image sensor, and a mount unit (120, 121) configured to detachably hold an interchangeable lens. The mount unit has a plurality of concave portions (120a, 120b, 120c, 120d) in a side surface of the mount unit. The concave portions are arranged so that, in projection in a direction parallel to an axis passing through a center of the mount unit, a triangle with three of points included in the concave portions as vertices contains the center.

The present disclosure relates to an inspection system for printed products that include at least two sets of sheets, each set constituting a repeating unit of sheets, and includes at least a piece of content. The inspection system includes a first setting unit configured to set inspection areas to respective reference images included in a first reference image group of a first set, and a second setting unit configured to set the inspection areas set by the first setting unit to respective reference images included in a second reference image group of a second set, the second reference image group including a layout of contents common to the first reference image group and differing in image-related contents.

An image capturing apparatus includes an image sensor (100) including a photoelectric conversion region (1) that photoelectrically converts an object image and outputs signal charges, a plurality of charge storage regions (6, 7, 8, and 9) that are provided for the photoelectric conversion region and are capable of storing the signal charges and outputting corresponding image capturing signals, and charge transfer regions (2, 3, 4, and 5) that transfer the signal charges from the photoelectric conversion region to the plurality of charge storage regions in a time-division manner, a changing means (CPU, S701) for changing a transfer cycle of the signal charges in the time-division manner, and a calculation means (CPU, S708) for calculating a flicker frequency of a light source by using the image capturing signals output from the respective charge storage regions based on the changed transfer cycle.

An information processing system including an information processing apparatus, and a server apparatus, wherein the server apparatus transmits, to the information processing apparatus, information for video production generated using a first process in a first role, wherein the information processing apparatus includes display control means for displaying the information for video production on a display unit, wherein the display control means displays an instruction section that does not receive text input from a user but receives a review of the information for video production, with the information for video production being displayed on the display unit, the review being generated by a second process in a second role, and the display control means displays an improvement for the information for video production generated using the second process in the second role and the information for video production, based on an instruction.

An image forming apparatus includes a main body, a first developing unit including a first developing container and a first developing roller, a second developing unit including a second developing container and a second developing roller, an air supplying portion, a first toner container, a second toner container, a first passage which communicates with the first toner container and the first developing container, and a second passage which communicates with the second toner container and the second developing container. The first developing unit and the second developing unit are aligned in the second direction, and the first toner container and the second toner container are aligned in the second direction, and are respectively arranged below the first developing unit and the second developing unit.

A program includes acquiring a file, receiving, in response to a user entering natural-language text into a first entry field, a first setting that is based on the entered natural-language text and is to be used to print the acquired file, displaying, in response to acquisition of the file and reception of the first setting, an object that does not include the first entry field and includes a second entry field for receiving information regarding the acquired file and natural-language text for setting a second setting to be used to print the file from the user, and setting the second setting that is to be used to print the acquired file and based on the natural-language text in the second entry field entered by the user.
