	Clive  +  457284 Wed, 26 Dec 07 07:19 PM Hi, What is the difference between embed and emboss Here are a couple of quick examples/comments. eg If my name is embossed on my belt, the letters are raised higher than the surrounding surface. If something is embedded in concrete, it is securely part of it and at least partly inside it, eg The workers erected the streetlight by embedding the base in concrete.

	Clive  +  457542 Thu, 27 Dec 07 03:44 PM Hi, I am writing a sentence. Please check the sentence. I am using the word "embed". A diode is embedded in IC(Integrated Circuit). This is fine.  We use embed generally when we talk about the integrated circuit. Or I can use the word embed in that way Cement is embeded in mixture. This sounds odd. Usually, we say something is "embedded in cement". If A is embedded in B, it is firmly part of it, but it still can be seen that this is A, not B. eg A fence psost is embedded in the ground. Your example does not seem to fit this pattern. Best wishes, Clive   Kindly validate the 2 sentences. Clive Dates, Difference Between

A diode is embeded in IC(Integrated Circuit).  Although this sounds grammatically correct, technically, unless a discrete diode is physically placed in the circuit, we can't really say a diode is embedded in teh IC. What we can say thought is a diode is integrated into the IC.  We can use "embed" in another context. i.e. "The operation sequencing codes were embedded into the E-proms when the machine was designed" We use embed generally when we talk about the integrated circuit.

Regards Karan Hi Karan, This is my opinion: A diode is embeded in IC(Integrated Circuit).  Although this sounds grammatically correct, technically, we can't really say a diode is embedded in the IC; unless a discrete diode is physically placed in the circuit. What we can say however is a diode equivalent circuit is integrated into the IC.  We can use "embed" or "imbed"in another context. i.e. "The operation sequencing codes were embedded into the E-proms when the machine was designed".
