eMBB
Enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB) is one of the three primary 5G service categories, alongside URLLC and mMTC, targeting very high data rates for video streaming, augmented reality, and virtual reality.
Embedded 3D printing
Embedded 3D printing, also called immersion 3D printing, is an additive manufacturing technique that extrudes ink into a yield-stress support bath, enabling soft materials like cell-laden hydrogels to hold their shape.
Embedded software
Embedded software, also known as embedded code, is computer software written to control a specific device or machine, typically running on a dedicated microcontroller rather than a general-purpose computer.
Embedded system
An embedded system is a computer system built into a larger device to perform one specific function, running software stored in flash ROM that the user cannot normally change.
Embedded Systems Conference
The Embedded Systems Conference (ESC) was an annual North American conference and trade show for embedded systems designers, centered for most of its life in San Jose, California.
Embedded systems education
Embedded systems education is the teaching of how to design and program computers built into physical devices, covering curricula, textbooks, laboratory platforms, and project-based formats, guided by the ACM/IEEE 2016 curriculum guideline.
Embedded World
Embedded World is an annual trade fair and conference for embedded systems technologies, held each spring in Nuremberg, Germany; founded in 2003, it drew about 36,000 visitors in 2026.
Embedding (machine learning)
An embedding in machine learning is a learned vector of floating-point numbers representing items such as words or images, arranged so that similar items land near each other.
Embedding and retrieval models
Embedding and retrieval models are neural encoders that map text, images, audio, or video into vectors so related items sit close together, powering semantic search and RAG.
Embedding inversion
Embedding inversion is a privacy attack on machine learning systems that reconstructs original input text from its embedding vector; the Vec2Text method recovered 92% of short inputs exactly.
Ember (interpretability platform)
Ember is a hosted API and SDK from the interpretability startup Goodfire, launched in 2024, that lets developers steer open-weight language models by editing internal sparse autoencoder features.

Embodied (company)
Embodied, Inc. was a Pasadena, California robotics and AI company founded in 2016, best known for Moxie, a social-emotional companion robot for children ages 5 to 10.
Embodied benchmarks and simulation suites
Embodied benchmarks and simulation suites are evaluation infrastructures that measure how well multimodal AI agents perceive, reason, and act in simulated 3D environments, where top models still score far below humans.
Embodied carbon
Embodied carbon is the total greenhouse gas emissions from producing, transporting, and assembling building materials, one of the two halves of a building's carbon account alongside operational carbon.
Embodied chain-of-thought reasoning
Embodied chain-of-thought reasoning (ECoT) is a training method for vision-language-action robot policies, introduced in July 2024 by Michał Zawalski and colleagues, in which the model generates structured reasoning before acting.
Embodied conversational agent
An embodied conversational agent is a computer-generated character, virtual or robotic, that converses with a person using verbal and nonverbal human face-to-face behaviors like speech, gestures, and facial expressions.
Embodied Moxie social robot
Moxie is a social robot for children made by Embodied, a Pasadena robotics company, launched in 2020 to build social and emotional skills through play.

Embossing (paper)
Embossing is a paper finishing process in which a sheet is pressed between matched metal dies to raise a design above the surface, used for decoration, document authentication, and tactile reading for blind readers.
Embrace, extend, and extinguish
"Embrace, extend, and extinguish" is a Microsoft strategy from the 1990s: adopt an open standard, add proprietary extensions, then use the incompatibility to displace rivals.
Embrace, extend, extinguish
Embrace, extend, extinguish is a competitive strategy attributed to Microsoft: adopt a standard, extend it with proprietary features, and lock in customers, a phrase known since the late 1990s antitrust litigation.
