Ellis (1874) says: [bd]Vase has four pronunciations in English: v[add]z, which I most commonly say, is going out of use, v[84]z I hear most frequently, v[be]z very rarely, and v[be]s I only know from Cull's marking. On the analogy of case, however, it should be the regular sound.[b8] | |

Tin \Tin\, n. [As. tin; akin to D. tin, G. zinn, OHG. zin, Icel. & Dan. tin, Sw. tenn; of unknown origin.] 1. (Chem.) An elementary substance found as an oxide in the mineral cassiterite, and reduced as a soft white crystalline metal, malleable at ordinary temperatures, but brittle when heated. It is not easily oxidized in the air, and is used chiefly to coat iron to protect it from rusting, in the form of tin foil with mercury to form the reflective surface of mirrors, and in solder, bronze, speculum metal, and other alloys. Its compounds are designated as stannous, or stannic. Symbol Sn (Stannum). Atomic weight 117.4. 2. Thin plates of iron covered with tin; tin plate. 3. Money. [Cant] --Beaconsfield. {Block tin} (Metal.), commercial tin, cast into blocks, and partially refined, but containing small quantities of various impurities, as copper, lead, iron, arsenic, etc.; solid tin as distinguished from tin plate; -- called also {bar tin}. {Butter of tin}.

temporal database data, that is, data which depends on time in some way. [More details? Examples?] (1996-05-25) | |
From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]: | |
temporal logic notation for arguing about *when* statements are true. Time is discrete and extends indefinitely into the future. Three {prefix} operators, represented by a circle, square and diamond mean "is true at the next time instant", "is true from now on" and "is eventually true". x U y means x is true until y is true. x P y means x precedes y. There are two types of formula: "state formulae" about things true at one point in time, and "path formulae" about things true for a sequence of steps. An example of a path formula is "x U y", and example of a state formula is "next x" or a simple atomic formula such at "waiting". "true until" in this context means that a state formula holds at every point in time up to a point when another formula holds. "x U y" is the "strong until" and implies that there is a time when y is true. "x W y" is the "weak until" in which it is not necessary that y holds eventually. There are two types of temporal logic used: branching time and linear time. The basic propositional temporal logic cannot differentiate between the two, though. Linear time considers only one possible future, in branching time you have several alternative futures. In branching temporal logic you have the extra operators "A" (for "all futures") and "E" (for "some future"). For example, "A(work U go_home)" means "I will work until I go home" and "E(work U go_home)" means "I may work until I go home". (1997-01-21) | |

Tim Berners-Lee working at the Center for European Particle Research (CERN). Now Director of the {World-Wide Web Consortium}. Tim Berners-Lee graduated from the Queen's College at Oxford University, England, 1976. Whilst there he built his first computer with a soldering iron, {TTL} gates, an {M6800} processor and an old television. He then went on to work for {Plessey Telecommunications}, and D.G. Nash Ltd (where he wrote software for intelligent printers and a {multi-tasking} {operating system}), before joining CERN, where he designed a program called 'Enquire', which was never published, but formed the conceptual basis for today's {World-Wide Web}. In 1984, he took up a fellowship at CERN, and in 1989, he wrote the first {World-Wide Web} {server}, "{httpd}", and the first client, "WorldWideWeb" a {hypertext} browser/editor which ran under {NEXTSTEP}. The program "WorldWideWeb" was first made available within CERN in December, and on the {Internet} as a whole in the summer of 1991. In 1994, Tim joined the {Laboratory for Computer Science} (LCS) at the {Massachusetts Institute of Technology} (MIT). In 1999, he became the first holder of the {3Com} Founders chair. He is also the author of "Weaving the Web", on the past present and future of the Web. In 2001, Tim was made a fellow of The Royal Society. Tim is married to Nancy Carlson. They have two children, born 1991 and 1994. {(http://www.w3.org/People/Berners-Lee/Longer.html)}. (2001-06-17) | |
