An image forming apparatus includes: a sheet feeding conveyor that feeds and conveys a recording medium to a conveyance path; an image former that performs image formation on the recording medium; a medium sensor that is disposed on an upstream side of the recording medium from the image former on the conveyance path and measures one or more sheet physical properties regarding the recording medium conveyed; a first hardware processor that determines a type of the recording medium on a basis of the sheet physical properties measured by the medium sensor; a second hardware processor that determines conveyance performance for the recording medium; and a third hardware processor that determines whether or not to perform the image formation on a basis of the conveyance performance in a case where the type of the recording medium determined by the first hardware processor is a type out of product specifications.

Image forming apparatus and control program

An image formation apparatus includes: an image former that forms an image on a recording medium delivered along a predetermined delivery path and outputs the recording medium; a first hardware processor that judges whether or not the recording medium is an envelope; a second hardware processor that acquires a basis weight of the recording medium; a third hardware processor that determines control for when an image is formed on the recording medium on the basis of a judgment result from the first hardware processor and a basis weight acquired by the second hardware processor; and a fourth hardware processor that controls operation of the image former on the basis of a determination result from the third hardware processor.

Image formation apparatus and control method therefor

A blood circulation system that can be connected to a human body is provided. The system may include a roller pump, a blood removal line through which blood removed from the human body flows to the roller pump, a blood transfer line that transfers blood, which is sent from the roller pump, to the human body, means for measuring a blood removal rate provided in the blood removal line to measure a blood removal rate parameter of blood flowing through the blood removal line and a control unit, wherein the control unit is programmed to control a blood transfer rate of the roller pump by controlling a rotational speed of the roller pump with a control signal, such that a transfer rate of blood flowing through the blood transfer line is synchronized with a removal rate calculated from the blood removal rate parameter.

Blood circulation system

An artificial heart and lung apparatus () includes a roller pump (); a blood removal line (); a first blood transfer line (); a blood removal rate sensor (); a control unit () that performs the linked control of the roller pump () in correspondence with a blood removal rate; and a blood transfer rate adjustment unit () that instructs the roller pump () to transfer a blood transfer rate. The blood transfer rate adjustment unit () includes an operation amount input unit to which an operation amount from an arbitrary circumferential position can be input, and which outputs a pulse signal according to the input operation amount, and a counter that adds and subtracts pulse signals output from the operation amount input unit, and outputs a resultant as blood transfer rate adjustment data, and the counter performs a counting operation with respect to the circumferential position of the operation amount input unit when blood transfer control transitions to the normal control.

An image forming device includes: a sheet feeder that feeds a sheet; a controller that: discriminates a sheet type of the sheet, and receives a user input to specify a sheet type; and an image forming device that has two setting modes including an automatic discrimination mode in which an image is formed based on the discriminated sheet type and a user specified mode in which an image is formed based on the sheet type specified by the user input. The controller automatically switches one of the two setting modes to the other based on a defined condition.

Image forming device

An image formation apparatus includes: an image former that forms an image on a recording medium delivered along a predetermined delivery path; a first hardware processor that judges whether or not the recording medium is an envelope; a second hardware processor that acquires a basis weight of the envelope; a third hardware processor that determines, in case the first hardware processor judges that the recording medium is the envelope, control for forming an image on the envelope by the image former on the basis of the basis weight of the envelope acquired by the second hardware processor.

A recording medium conveyance device includes storage that stores a recording medium, a conveyer that takes out the recording medium stored in the storage and conveys the recording medium as a conveyed object, an ultrasonic sensor that outputs a value indicating an attenuation amount of an ultrasonic wave caused by the conveyed object and a hardware processor, wherein the hardware processor executes an overlay detection process of detecting whether the conveyed object is in an overlay state in which a gap is present based on a result of output by the ultrasonic sensor, and prevents execution of the overlay detection process with respect to a first conveyed object that is to be conveyed first by the conveyer.

Recording medium conveyance device, recording medium conveyance method and non-transitory computer-readable recording medium encoded with recording medium conveyance program

An image forming apparatus includes: a conveyance path that conveys a sheet; registration rollers that are arranged across the conveyance path and each comprise a nip part; a sheet locking member that locks a front end of a sheet conveyed in the conveyance path, where the sheet locking member swings between a first attitude and a second attitude, in the first attitude the sheet locking member locks the sheet on an upstream side of the nip part, and in the second attitude the sheet locking member is retracted to a downstream side of the nip part and allows the sheet to pass through the nip part; an energizer that energizes the sheet locking member to maintain the first attitude; and a hardware processor that detects deterioration of the energizer.

Image forming apparatus that detects deterioration of a spring used to bias a sheet locking member

Provided is a sheet conveyance apparatus armored with a housing, the sheet conveyance apparatus includes: a sheet conveyor that feeds a sheet to a downstream side in a direction of conveyance; a conveyance guide that guides the sheet to be conveyed; an ultrasonic sensor that detects the sheet guided by the conveyance guide; and a shield member that is conductive, wherein the ultrasonic sensor includes: a transmitter that transmits an ultrasonic wave having a predetermined frequency; and a receiver that receives the ultrasonic wave, the transmitter and the receiver are arranged along the conveyance guide, and the shield member is disposed between the housing and the receiver in a sheet-face perpendicular direction at an ultrasonic-irradiation position of the sheet being conveyed, the shield member covering an entirety of the receiver in plan view in the sheet-face perpendicular direction.

Sheet conveyance apparatus, image reading apparatus, and image forming apparatus

Disclosed is an artificial heart and lung apparatus () that can be connected to a patient (P), and transfers removed blood to a human body via a roller pump (), the system including: the roller pump (); a blood removal line () which transfers removed blood to the roller pump (); a first blood transfer line () that transfers blood, which is transferred from the roller pump (), to the human body; a blood removal rate sensor () that is provided in the blood removal line (); and a control unit (), in which the control unit () performs control such that a blood transfer rate of the roller pump () is in a specific range with respect to a blood removal rate measured by a blood removal rate sensor ().
