LNK files use the same icon as their target file, with a small curled arrow to indicate that the file points to another location. When double clicked, the LNK file acts exactly the same as its original.
Photonics is the science of using light to generate energy, detect information, or transmit information. The main purpose of the photonics engineering field is to develop new and innovative products for medicine, telecommunications, manufacturing, and construction.
Definition of:ASIC. (A pplication S pecific I ntegrated C ircuit) Pronounced  a-sick.. A chip that is custom designed for a specific application rather than a general-purpose chip such as a microprocessor.The use of ASICs improve performance over general-purpose CPUs, because ASICs are hardwired to do a specific job and do not incur the overhead of fetching and interpreting stored instructions.lso promoting the decline of full custom ASICs are chip manufacturers that make generic chips containing all the necessary functions for specific mass market products such as DVDs, CDs, digital cameras, etc. See structured ASIC, gate array, standard cell, ASSP, PLD, adaptive computing and CSIC.
