The apparatus is for securely fetching and positioning an SMD chip on a printed circuit board and soldering the same to the board. Two spring plates form the clasping fingers which are wedged apart to a width larger than the width of the SMD chip by an expander formed on an elongated rod slidably mounted within a vertical tubular housing. An SMD chip may be safely fetched by pressing the rod on the top of the SMD with a continuous depressing motion until the fingers clasp the SMD chip safely therebetween. A soldering unit with a bifurcate soldering head located juxtaposed to the fingers is operative to solder the SMD chip to the printed circuit board while the SMD chip is safely held in place.

An information processing apparatus or a semiconductor memory according to the present invention periodically refreshes a high-speed nonvolatile memory cell having spontaneous data storing capability at the time of nonuse of the apparatus (or at the time of standby of the memory) by refresh control element. Thus, a combination of the spontaneous data retaining capability of the nonvolatile memory cell, the periodic refresh at the time of nonuse, and intermittent power supply by turning on / off a switch circuit makes it possible to retain data reliably while minimizing power consumption at the time of standby. Thereby a memory system that can retain data reliably with minimum power consumption and enable high-speed access can be realized.

An apparatus and a method of controlling an information process system of a mobile apparatus using a flash memory. The information process system controlling the mobile apparatus has a main memory storing a user-set data and a flash memory storing a backup data of the user-set data stored in the main memory when a main power is turned off and / or when a backup command is input by a user. A programmed CPU controls the information process system by determining whether the main power is turned off and / or whether the backup command is input by the user, and backs up the main-memory user-set data to the flash memory. Accordingly, since the user-set data is backed-up to the flash memory when the main power is turned off, an initialization image and an initialization menu can be executed according to the user-set data when the mobile apparatus is re-operated.
