`

`graphic image. See the illustration. 3. In an envi-
`ronment with multiple windows, to rearrange and
`resize all open windows so that they appear fully
`on the screen without any overlap.
`
`time and date \ffm" and dfit’\ n. In computing,
`the timekeeping and datekeeping functions main-
`tained by the computer’s operating system, used
`most visibly as a means of "stamping" files with
`the date and time of creation or last revision.
`time-division multiplexing \ tim" da-vizh-an
`mul’ti-pleks-~ng\ n. A form of multiplexing in
`which transmission time is broken into segments,
`each of which carries one element of one signal.
`See also statistical multiplexer. Compare FDM.
`time out or timeout or time-out \tim out’\ n. An
`event that indicates that a predetermined amount
`of time has elapsed without some other expected
`event taking place. The time-out event is used to
`interrupt the process that had been waiting for the
`other expected event. For example, a dial-up
`remote system might allow the user 60 seconds to
`log in after making a connection. If the user fails
`to enter a valid login name and password within
`this time, the computer breaks the connection,
`thus protecting itself against crackers as well as
`freeing a phone line that may have gone dead.
`timer \ti’mar\ n. A register (high-speed memory
`circuit) or a special circuit, chip, or software rou-
`tine used to measure time intervals. A timer is not
`the same as the system clock, although its pulses
`can be derived from the system clock frequency.
`See also time and date. Compare clock (definition
`1), clock/calendar.
`
`time-sharing \tTm’shfir’fing\ n. The use of a com-
`puter system by more than one individual at the
`same time. Time-sharing runs separate programs
`concurrently by interleaving portions of process-
`ing time allotted to each program (user). See also
`quantum (definition 2), time slice.
`time slice \tTm" sl~s\ n. A brief period of time dur-
`ing which a particular task is given control of the
`microprocessor in a time-sharing multitasking
`environment. See also multitasking, preemptive
`multitasking. Compare quantum (definition 2).
`time-slice multitasking \tim’slis mul*t~-ta-skeng,
`mul’ti-ta-sk~ng\ n. See preemptive multitasking.
`Time to Live \tim" t~ liv’\ n. A header field for a
`packet sent over the Intemet indicating how long
`the packet should be held. Acronym.. TTL (T’T-L’).
`See also header (definition 2), packet (definition 1).
`timing signals \ti’m{ng sig’nalz\ n. 1. Any of
`several types of signals used to coordinate activi-
`ties within a computer system. 2. A signal used !o
`coordinate data transfer operations.
`tiny model \ti’n~ mod’al\ n. A memory model in
`the Intel 80x86 processor family. The tiny model
`allows a combined total of only 64 kilobytes (KB)
`for code and for data. See also 8086, memory model.
`title bar \t7"tl b~ir’\ n. In a graphical user interface,
`a horizontal space at the top of a window that con-
`tains the name of the window. Most title bars also
`contain boxes or buttons for closing and resizing
`the window. Clicking on the title bar allows the
`user to move the entire window.
`.tj \dot’T-J’\ n. On the Internet, the major geo-
`graphic domain specifying that an address is
`located in Tajikistan.
`.tk \dot’T-W\ n. On the Internet, the major geo-
`graphic domain specifying that an address is
`located in Tokelau.
`TLA \T’L-A’\ n. Acronym for three-letter acronym.
`An ironic term, usually used in jest on the Internet
`in e-mail, newsgroups, and other online forums,
`referring to the large number of acronyms in com-
`puter terminology, particularly those consisting of
`three letters.
`.tm \dot’T-M’\ n. On the Internet, the major geo-
`graphic domain specifying that an address is
`located in Turkmenistan.
`TMS34010 \ T-M-S" thr~’-f6r-6"wan-6"\ n. See
`34010, 34020.
