The automotive immobilizer, also known as engine immobilizer, is a vehicle anti-theft system. It is embedded into the engine ECU. It allows the engine to start only with the vehicle's authorized key.

Freeze drying is a process that involves the removal of water or other solvents from a frozen product by a phenomenon called sublimation, which occurs when a frozen liquid undergoes a phase change directly to the gaseous phase without passing through the liquid phase. On the contrary, drying at ambient temperatures from the liquid phase generally results in changes in the product, which may suit only certain materials. However, in freeze drying, the material does not go through the liquid phase, and this allows the preparation of a stable product that is easy to use and aesthetic in appearance.
