An image forming apparatus includes an image forming unit and a control unit. The image forming unit forms a test image based on test image data. The test image data includes a first image area and a second image area. The first image area is disposed adjacent to the second image area. The first image area is an image area including a mixed color image of a first primary color and a second primary color and has the same gradation value in a main scanning direction. The second image area is an image area of the second primary color and has the same gradation value in the main scanning direction. The control unit corrects a correction table based on the test image formed in the image forming unit. In the correction table, for each primary color, the gradation value is corrected according to a position in the main scanning direction.

A sheet processing apparatus includes a sheet conveying unit configured to convey sheets, a first scanning unit configured to scan a surface of each of the sheets conveyed by the sheet conveying unit, and generate a first image data for each of the sheets, an erasing unit configured to carry out an erasing process on the surface of each of the sheets conveyed from the first scanning unit, a second scanning unit configured to scan the surface of each of the sheets conveyed from the erasing unit, and generate a second image data for each of the sheets, and a control unit configured to cause the sheets to be sorted based on a difference between the first image data and the second image data thereof.

An ultrasonic apparatus images incidental information including at least either subject information or examination information to generate an incidental information image, and executes information processing of the incidental information image as an independent frame from a series of ultrasonic images as well as information processing to form the incidental information image as a series of images with the ultrasonic images.

A digital copying machine includes a CPU that executes an overall control, a scanner section, a printer section, and an image processing section that executes image processes including image-process magnification alteration. The CPU adjusts a main-scan magnification of the scanner section at 90.9%, sets the image-process magnification alteration in the image processing section at 110%, and executes a control to form an image in the printer section on the basis of image data in which these magnifications are combined.

An image forming apparatus includes a connection unit which is connected to a network to perform communication, a receiving unit which receives printing information including at least page kind data indicating the kinds of data for each page and image data, through the connection unit, an image processing unit which performs image processing for the image data to properly decrease the quantity of printing material used for printing for each predetermined unit, based on the received page kind data, and a printer which prints on a medium based on the image data for which the image processing has been performed.

Image data provided from a scanner is simultaneously supplied to page memory and a reference value calculating section. The reference value calculating section creates a density histogram of the document image on the basis of image data corresponding to a predetermined number of image lines and calculates a set of correction reference values for pixel density correction using the density histogram. A range correcting section corrects pixel density indicated by the image data on all the image data read out from the page memory by using the set of correction reference values. The predetermined number of image lines is a fraction of all the image lines of the document image read by the scanner.

Image forming apparatus

An image forming apparatus for totalizing data obtained at the time of operation, such as the number of copying operations performed for each user, by using a single portable medium is disclosed. The image forming apparatus includes a first memory for storing identification information which identifies operators who are permitted to use the apparatus. Data which is entered by the user is compared with the stored data in order to verify if the user is in fact authorized to use the apparatus. Additional data, such as the number of copies made, is stored corresponding to each user. Additional categories for which data may be collected and stored are disclosed including the time frame, the particular machine, and the size of the paper being used.

An endoscope system includes an endoscope section having a flexible pipe insertable into a body cavity. The flexible pipe is divided into a plurality of segments. Each segment has a mechanism, e.g. shape memory alloy, for varying the flexibility of that segment. A main frame unit has a flexibility control section for controlling the flexibility variation mechanisms to correspond to one of a plurality of flexibility control patterns stored in a database.
