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 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.

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.

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.

A packet-filtering system described herein may be configured to filter packets with encrypted hostnames in accordance with one or packet-filtering rules. The packet-filtering system may resolve a plaintext hostname from ciphertext comprising an encrypted Server Name Indication (eSNI) value. The packet-filtering system may resolve the plaintext hostname using a plurality of techniques. Once the plaintext hostname is resolved, the packet-filtering system may then use the plaintext hostname to determine whether the packets are associated with one or more threat indicators. If the packet-filtering system determines that the packets are associated with one or more threat indicators, the packet-filtering system may apply a packet filtering operation associated with the packet-filtering rules to the packets.

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.

A print job management method is for managing a print job to be executed by an image formation engine (36). The method includes: obtaining information on a first scanner profile for converting read data of a printed material on which an image has been formed by a first print job; setting the first scanner profile in association with the first print job, based on the obtained information on the first scanner profile, obtaining information on a second scanner profile for converting read data of a printed material on which an image has been formed by a second print job; and setting the second scanner profile in association with the second print job, based on the obtained information of the second scanner profile.

The present disclosure relates to a backside-illumination solid-state image pickup apparatus and a backside-illumination solid-state image-pickup-apparatus manufacturing method, an image pickup apparatus, and electronic equipment that are configured to make it possible to reduce manufacturing costs.A diced memory circuit and logic circuit are laid out in a horizontal direction, are embedded and flattened by using an oxide film, and are stacked so as to be enclosed in a plane direction under a solid-state image pickup element. The present disclosure can be applied to an image pickup apparatus.

Enterprise users' mobile devices typically access the Internet without being protected by the enterprise's network security policy, which exposes the enterprise network to Internet-mediated attack by malicious actors. This is because the conventional approach to protecting the mobile devices and associated enterprise network is to tunnel all of the devices' Internet communications to the enterprise network, which is very inefficient since typically only a very small percentage of Internet communications originating from an enterprise's mobile devices are communicating with Internet hosts that are associated with threats. In the present disclosure, the mobile device efficiently identifies which communications are associated with Internet threats, and tunnels only such identified traffic to the enterprise network, where actions may be taken to protect the enterprise network.

An electrostatic charge image developing toner including a toner base particle and an external additive. The external additive includes at least an inorganic fine particle, the inorganic fine particle has a surface modifying agent on a surface thereof, the electrostatic charge image developing toner includes a free component, a weight-average molecular weight of the free component is 1000 or more and 20000 or less, a content of the free component is 2 mg/kg or more and 700 mg/kg or less, and the free component is a chloroform extract from a methyl ethyl ketone insoluble matter extracted from the electrostatic charge image developing toner with methanol.
