Electrically erasable programmable read-only memory.
Initialism of electrostatic force balance.
Initialism of Electronic Frontier Foundation.
An encrustation of soluble salts, commonly white, deposited on the surface of stone, brick, plaster, or mortar; usually caused by free alkalies leached from mortar or adjacent concrete as moisture moves through it.
Initialism of electronic fuel injection.
An on-chip microscopic fuse used to configure a circuit.
Initialism of enhanced General Packet Radio Service.
