Notarizing
A notary public frequently uses embossing to mark legal papers, either in the form of an adhesive seal, or using a clamp-like embossing device.
Postage stamps
Embossing has been used regularly on postage stamps. Notable early examples include some of the earliest stamps of Italy, Natal, and Switzerland, as well as the early high values of Britain. Modern stamps still sometimes use embossing as a design element.

Computer scripting languages such as Perl and Python are often used to interface with biological databases and parse output from bioinformatics programs.
Communities of bioinformatics programmers have set up free/open source projects such as EMBOSS, Bioconductor, BioPerl, BioLinux, BioPython, BioRuby, and BioJava which develop and distribute shared programming tools and objects (as program modules) that make bioinformatics easier.
