eingebetteten

Eingebetteten is the inflected form of the past participle eingebettet (to embed) of the verb einbetten. As an adjective or participle, es describes something that has been placed within something else. In German, the ending -en signals different cases and numbers, for example die eingebetteten Systeme (nominative plural), den eingebetteten Sensoren (dative plural), or in eingebetteten Systemen (in dative plural). The core meaning is “embedded” or “integrated.”

In technology, embedded systems are computer systems integrated into larger devices to perform dedicated tasks. They typically feature specialized hardware and software, real-time constraints, and limited resources. They are common in automotive electronics, consumer devices, medical equipment, industrial automation, and aerospace, where reliability and predictable timing are essential.

Beyond hardware, the term also appears in media and linguistics. Eingebettete Inhalte or eingebettete Videos refer to content inserted into a web page from another source via embed code. In linguistics, eingebettete Nebensätze are subordinate clauses embedded within larger sentences, used to express additional information without creating a separate main clause.

Overall, the word denotes something that is placed inside and functions as part of a larger system, object, or medium. Its precise meaning depends on the noun it accompanies and the grammatical context.
