Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes an image former that forms an image on a sheet of paper, a detector that detects a physical property of a sheet of paper, a receiver that receives paper identification information used in identification of a sheet of paper designated by a user, and a hardware processor. The hardware processor performs: first judgement of judging whether or not there is a correspondence between the paper identification information received by the receiver and a detection result by the detector, second judgement of judging whether or not there is a correspondence between a detection result by the detector of a first sheet of paper conveyed and a detection result by the detector of a second sheet of paper conveyed; and operation control of the image former based on a first judgement result in the first judgement and a second judgement result in the second judgement.

Abstract: A polishing system performs chemical-mechanical polishing of an object to be polished using an abrasive slurry. The polishing system includes a polishing amount calculator that measures an amount of free metal ions of a metallic element derived from the object to be polished in a processed slurry and calculates a polishing amount of the object to be polished from the amount of the free metal ions. The object to be polished is a glass containing the metallic element of Group 1 or Group 2 of a periodic table.

Abstract: A medical image processing apparatus includes a retriever, a determiner and a calculator. The retriever retrieves a medical image of a bone and a soft tissue of a subject. The determiner determines a position of at least one of an end of the bone and an end of the soft tissue based on the medical image retrieved by the retriever. The calculator calculates a feature value relevant to a condition of the soft tissue based on the position of at least one of the end of the bone and the end of the soft tissue determined by the determiner.
