Abstract: An information terminal that uploads IC chip information to a server is provided. The information terminal includes a reading unit that reads information from a recording medium at a first timing based on first information described in setting information, and an upload unit that uploads the information to an external device at a second timing based on second information described in the setting information. the recording medium is an IC chip built in the information terminal or an IC chip accessible from the information terminal. The reading unit reads IC chip information from the IC chip, and the upload unit uploads the IC chip information to the external device.

Abstract: The present invention has as an object thereof to provide a cleaning method which realizes, in the cleaning process, (1) a reduction in the number of processes, (2) a simplification of the cleaning apparatus, and (3) a reduction in the amount of chemicals and pure water employed, and which has highly superior cleaning effects and does not damage the substrate body, as well as to provide a rinsing method which aids in the hydrogen termination of silicon atoms.

Abstract: An EEPROM (1) is set to write mode when a program command to commence rewriting of data in region B in the EEPROM (1) is read out from region A. A CPU (2) then writes data specified by a latch (6) at an address in region B specified by a latch (4). In compliance with an inhibit signal INH, the CPU (2) now disregards the effects of the undefined output from the EEPROM (1) terminal DOUT.
