Total Information Manager (TIM)
An HP product that provides powerful, integrated access to product and support
information within document collections on local CD-ROM discs and online through
Internet-accessible servers. TIM integrates technologies from Verity (search engine),
Netscape (Navigator HTML browser), Microsoft (Internet Explorer HTML browser), and
Adobe (Acrobat Exchange PDF viewer). Formerly called Tandem Information Manager.

from a server.
Transaction Management Facility (TMF)
A set of HP software products for NonStop systems that assures database integrity by
preventing incomplete updates to a database. It can continuously save the changes that
are made to a database (in real time) and back out these changes when necessary. It can
also take online "snapshot" backups of the database and restore the database from these
backups.
Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)
One of the most widely available nonvendor-specific protocols, designed to support
large, heterogeneous networks of systems.
TS/MP

U
Unicode
A character-coding scheme designed to be an extension of ASCII. By using 16 bits for
each character (rather than ASCII's 7), Unicode can represent almost every character of
every language and many symbols (such as "&") in an internationally standard way,
eliminating the complexity of incompatible extended character sets and code pages.
Unicode's first 128 codes correspond to those of standard ASCII.
uniform resource locator (URL)
A draft standard for specifying an object on a network (such as a file, a newsgroup, or,
with JDBC, a database). URLs are used extensively on the World Wide Web. HTML
documents use them to specify the targets of hyperlinks.
