Abstract: When an image processing apparatus acquires job log information and error log information from an image forming apparatus, the information processing apparatus identifies a job processing time from a job start time and a job end time of each job which are recorded in the acquired job log information. Subsequently, the information processing apparatus identifies a job suspension time from an occurrence time and a recovery time of an error of each log which is recorded in the error log information. Then, the information processing apparatus calculates a job execution time based on the identified job processing time and the job suspension time.

Abstract: An exhaust gas purifying system includes a catalyst arranged on an exhaust pipe of an internal combustion engine; a sensor detecting a state of the exhaust gas passed through the catalyst; and an ECU functioning as an abnormality determining apparatus determining abnormality by monitoring an output of said sensor in an operation under forced air-fuel ratio. When the operation under forced air-fuel control is interrupted before completion of the determination of system abnormality, the abnormality determining apparatus once stores a parameter accumulated during the operation under forced air-fuel ratio control by the time of interruption, and when the internal combustion engine comes to satisfy the prescribed condition again, resumes the operation under forced air-fuel ratio control, and completes determination of system abnormality using the stored parameter and the parameter accumulated after resumption of the forced air-fuel ratio control.

Abstract: In a printing control apparatus that communicates with an image forming apparatus connected via a network, information used in order to enable utilization of the image forming apparatus is registered. This information indicates a printing-completion notification function possessed by the image forming apparatus. In response to registration of this information, setting information for setting the printing-completion notification destination of the printing-completion notification function to the printing control apparatus is generated in such a manner that notification of completion of printing can be received from the image forming apparatus. Here setting information, which is recognizable by the image forming apparatus, is generated in order to set the printing-completion notification destination to the printing control apparatus.
