Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a development current detector that detects an actual measurement value of a development current, a development current calculator that calculates a provisional calculation value of a development current based on an image formation condition, and an image-defect determiner that determines whether or not an image defect occurs, based on the actual measurement value of the development current detected by the development current detector and the provisional calculation value of the development current calculated by the development current calculator.

Abstract: Provided is a quality management apparatus for cooked rice coated with a coating agent and conveyed. The quality management apparatus includes: a multispectral camera imager whose imaging wavelength range includes at least a near-infrared region; and a hardware processor. The multispectral camera imager captures a multispectral image of the cooked rice conveyed. The hardware processor acquires and analyzes light absorption information of a plurality of wavelengths related to moisture absorption of the cooked rice from the captured multispectral image of the cooked rice to calculate information indicating a two-dimensional distribution of a moisture content of the cooked rice conveyed.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a plurality of image formers each capable of forming, on a sheet, an overlap image and a non-overlap image, a fixer that fixes, on the sheet, a whole image composed of the overlap images and the non-overlap images, and a hardware processor that controls each of the plurality of image formers such that a difference in image at a boundary between the overlap image and the non-overlap image is reduced in the whole image.
