A PLD is configurable to efficiently implement a wide variety of user functions. An embodiment also relates to a system that achieves the process. A recording device prints the condensed image data and overlaid sequence information on the single sheet of printing media. In alternative embodiments, neat or concentrated fuel is supplied directly to the anode diffusion layer or a protonically conductive membrane. The ES1 readout control unit then updates the ES1 readout pointer and the data leading end pointer. First and second stacked structures in a memory cell formation region are formed so as to have a larger height than a third stacked structure in a transistor formation region, and then an interlayer insulating layer is formed so as to cover these stacked structures and then polished.
