    Abstract: A drive circuit of a recording head having a recording element is provided. The drive circuit supplies a load element for recording operation of the recording element with an output signal of electric power according to operation of the load element. The drive circuit includes a voltage amplifier that amplifies a voltage of an analog drive waveform signal for operation of the recording element to generate a drive voltage signal. The voltage amplifier includes amplifiers. Among the amplifiers, at least one of subsequent-stage amplifiers which are a second and subsequent amplifiers from an upstream side includes a signal feedback unit that returns a signal to be output to an input side of the subsequent-stage amplifiers.

    Abstract: Provided is an information processing apparatus capable of preventing erroneous detection of an abnormality even in a case where a region other than an inspection target region appears in an image of an object or even in a case where the appearance of the object may partially vary because of the nature of the object. An information processing apparatus includes: a generating section that acquires an image and generates a reconstructed image based on the image; an identification section that identifies an inspection target region in the image based on the image; and a calculation section that calculates a difference in the inspection target region between the image and the reconstructed image.

    Abstract: An inkjet recording device including: inkjet head having a pressure chamber; a first pressure source to adjust ink energy per unit volume to generate “energy per unit volume” P1(Pa) relative to static ink at an atmospheric pressure at a nozzle opening height; a second pressure source to adjust ink energy per unit volume to generate “energy per unit volume” P2(Pa) relative to static ink; and a hardware processor. The first pressure source, pressure chamber, and second pressure source are connected in this order by a flow path. Assuming that a pressure loss occurring from the first pressure source to the nozzle due to circulation flow rate is ΔPa, a proportionality constant of a differential pressure (P1−P2) and ΔPa is “a”, and an appropriate pressure in vicinity of the nozzle opening is Pn, the hardware processor controls pressure to establish P2={Pn−(1−a)P1}/a.
