Gartner delivers technology research to global technology business leaders to make informed decisions on key initiatives.
Embedded software and electronics hardware design includes the development of all software and electronics-related hardware, such as sensors, processors and operating systems, built into a vehicle, as well as its various components and parts, such as entertainment and engine management systems. Automotive-specific software and hardware are typically produced by multiple suppliers, and then integrated by the vehicle manufacturer or a large Tier 1 supplier. An emerging class of applications supports embedded software and electronics for the automotive industry.

Cellular data implementations are embedded in notebooks, as well as in media tablets and other small form factor devices. The cellular or wireless WAN technology embedded in notebooks is typically wideband code division multiple access (WCDMA) or High-Speed Packet Access (HSPA). Some modules, primarily in emerging markets, also support cellular data standards, such as general packet radio service, Enhanced Data Rates for Global Evolution/HSPA or cdma2000 Evolution Data Optimized, which includes Revision 0, Revision A and radio transmission technology.

Embedded analytics is the use of reporting and analytic capabilities in transactional business applications. These capabilities can reside outside the application, reusing the analytic infrastructure built by many enterprises, but must be easily accessible from inside the application, without forcing users to switch between systems. The integration of a business intelligence (BI) platform with the application architecture will enable users to choose where in the business process the analytics should be embedded.
Industry:Technology
Electrovibration is based on an effect in which touch receptors in the skin can be duped into perceiving texture. Electrical charges simulate the feeling of localized vibration and friction, mimicking shapes, textures and contours (such as the feel of a keyboard key or a button) on touchscreens on tablets and other mobile devices or product surfaces. No electrical charge passes through the skin as the charge is created through movement over a conductive surface. A periodic electrostatic force is created, which “deforms” the skin on the finger.

Electronic waste (e-waste), is a generic term used to describe all types of old, end-of-life or discarded electrical and electronic equipment, such as household appliances; office information and communications equipment; entertainment and consumer electronic equipment; lighting equipment; electric and electronic tools; toys; and leisure, sports and recreational equipment that are powered by electricity. E-waste contains both valuable and hazardous materials that require special handling and recycling methods.

An electronic signature (e-signature) is a traceable e-mail or a biometric applied to a message. The biometric may be based on digitized handwriting (handwriting that is converted by cryptography into a digital signature) or a biometric (e.g., a fingerprint that can be combined with a hash or digest of the message to show the signer’s intent). The electronic signature cannot be removed and applied to other documents to forge a signature.

Electronic prescribing (e-prescribing) is the process by which clinicians in hospital and ambulatory settings directly enter outpatient prescriptions using computer applications that provide clinical decision support and can deliver the prescriptions electronically in structured form to dispensing organizations (HDO pharmacies, drugstores and mail-order fulfillment houses).

Electronic paper refers to several reflective display technologies that do not require a backlight and can be viewed in conditions of good ambient illumination. Bistable pixels — that remain in a particular state after the power is removed — are used. For static images, this results in ultralow energy consumption. Most electronic paper technologies involve physical movement within the pixel to facilitate a change from light to dark, or to change color. The performance achieved has therefore been slower than with other displays, such as LCDs.
Industry:Technology
An electronic health record (EHR) system contains patient-centric, electronically maintained information about an individual’s health status and care, focuses on tasks and events directly related to patient care, and is optimized for use by clinicians. The EHR provides support for all activities and processes involved in the delivery of clinical care. The definition of an EHR system limits its scope to the continuum of care in one HDO.
