In an image heating apparatus in which a heating rotating body heats a recording material bearing an image and a rubbing member rubs the heating rotating body to eliminate gloss streaks, an image failure such as gloss unevenness does not occur in a normal plain paper and a coated paper, and a toner gloss on the coated paper can be enhanced. A longitudinal temperature difference of a heating rotating body 91 is controlled within a predetermined temperature, so that the surface of the heating rotating body can be uniformly roughed. Consequently, an image failure due to scuffs on the surface of the heating rotating body and gloss unevenness due to unevenness of roughness of the surface of the heating rotating body are prevented, and thus a good fixed image can be obtained.

A congestion control system is provided with a plurality of reaction points, each of which is configured to transmit a packet to a transmission destination; and a congestion point configured to receive the packets transmitted from the plurality of reaction points. When detecting congestion in itself, the congestion point samples each of the received packets based on a predetermined algorithm, and transmits a feedback message to the reaction point as a transmission source of the sampled packet. Each of the plurality of reaction points controls a target rate based on a reception situation of the feedback message, and sets the target rate to an initial value at an initialization timing which does not depend on the feedback message.

There is disclosed an evaluation method for evaluating a one-dimensional illumination distribution using polynomials, the method comprising steps of: setting up, as the polynomials, one-dimensional power polynomials which are orthogonal in a closed interval; and approximating the one-dimensional illumination distribution with the power polynomials to obtain the coefficients of respective terms of the power polynomials.
