- UPC
- Acronym for "Universal Product
Code",
a unique 12-digit number assigned to retail merchandise that
identifies both the product and the vendor that sells the product.
The UPC on a product typically appears next to its bar
code, the machine-readable representation of the UPC. The first
six digits of the UPC are the vendor’s unique identification
number. All of the products that one vendor sells will have the same
first six digits in their UPCs. The next five digits are the
product’s unique reference number that identifies the product
within any one vendor’s line of products. The last number is
called the "check digit" that is used to verify that the UPC
for that specific product is correct.
- Upload

personal computer to log on to a network and you want to send files across the network, you must upload the files from
your PC to the network.
