A display label, having a display section on a surface thereof and an adhesive surface on a back surface thereof, and an IC tag, provided with an antenna coil and an IC chip so as to transmit information through non-contact communication, are prepared. After writing information on the IC chip, reading test is applied, so as to separate non-defective ID tags and defective ID tags. After printing addition display on the surface of the display label, a non-defective ID tag is adhered on an adhesive surface thereof, so as to form an RFID label. Then the RFID label is affixed to an object-to-affix such as a container. An affixing method of an RFID label and its affixing method are provided, wherein an ID tag is less likely to be damaged, since the ID tag is not adhered on a display label while printing additional display.

A semiconductor integrated circuit has an SDRAM and a group of elements, whose power consumption is controlled (referred to as “power-controlled block”). The power-controlled block includes a CPU and a memory control circuit. A power control circuit outputs a power-down signal to an output-fixing circuit when a power-saving mode setting command is supplied from the CPU. A control signal for commanding self-refresh operation is generated from the output-fixing circuit to the SDRAM. The power control circuit thereafter stops the supply of power to the entire power-controlled block in response to a power control signal. When a restart signal is provided, the power control circuit starts the supply of power to the power-controlled block. A power-saving mode release command is then generated from the CPU to the power control circuit, and the power-down signal is stopped. Thereupon, the output-fixing circuit provides a control signal generated from the memory control circuit directly to the SDRAM.

Controlling means of a fuel injection system regulates an energization amount of an electric motor in accordance with a sensing signal outputted from common rail pressure sensing means. Thus, the controlling means controls a fuel supply quantity of a low-pressure pump. Thus, power consumption of the electric motor driving the low-pressure pump can be regulated in accordance with a pressure-feeding quantity of a high-pressure pump. As a result, the power consumption of the electric motor can be reduced and wasteful fuel supply of the low-pressure pump can be reduced.
