From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
To \To\ ([?], emphatic or alone, [?], obscure or unemphatic),       prep. [AS. t[d3]; akin to OS. & OFries. t[d3], D. toe, G. zu,       OHG. zuo, zua, z[d3], Russ. do, Ir. & Gael. do, OL. -do, -du,       as in endo, indu, in, Gr. [?], as in [?] homeward. [fb]200.       Cf. {Too}, {Tatoo} a beat of drums.]       1. The preposition to primarily indicates approach and             arrival, motion made in the direction of a place or thing             and attaining it, access; and also, motion or tendency             without arrival; movement toward; -- opposed to {from}.             [bd]To Canterbury they wend.[b8] --Chaucer.                         Stay with us, go not to Wittenberg.   --Shak.                         So to the sylvan lodge They came, that like Pomona's                      arbor smiled.                                    --Milton.                         I'll to him again, . . . He'll tell me all his                      purpose. She stretched her arms to heaven. --Dryden.          2. Hence, it indicates motion, course, or tendency toward a             time, a state or condition, an aim, or anything capable of             being regarded as a limit to a tendency, movement, or             action; as, he is going to a trade; he is rising to wealth             and honor.          Note: Formerly, by omission of the verb denoting motion, to                sometimes followed a form of be, with the sense of at,                or in. [bd]When the sun was [gone or declined] to                rest.[b8] --Chaucer.          3. In a very general way, and with innumerable varieties of             application, to connects transitive verbs with their             remoter or indirect object, and adjectives, nouns, and             neuter or passive verbs with a following noun which limits             their action. Its sphere verges upon that of for, but it             contains less the idea of design or appropriation; as,             these remarks were addressed to a large audience; let us             keep this seat to ourselves; a substance sweet to the             taste; an event painful to the mind; duty to God and to             our parents; a dislike to spirituous liquor.                         Marks and points out each man of us to slaughter.                                                                               --B. Jonson.                         Whilst they, distilled Almost to jelly with the act                      of fear, Stand dumb and speak not to him. --Shak.                         Add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;                      and to knowledge temperance; and to temperance                      patience; and to patience godliness; and to                      godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly                      kindness charity.                              --2 Pet. i.                                                                               5,6,7.                         I have a king's oath to the contrary. --Shak.                         Numbers were crowded to death.            --Clarendon.                         Fate and the dooming gods are deaf to tears.                                                                               --Dryden.                         Go, buckle to the law.                        --Dryden.          4. As sign of the infinitive, to had originally the use of             last defined, governing the infinitive as a verbal noun,             and connecting it as indirect object with a preceding verb             or adjective; thus, ready to go, i.e., ready unto going;             good to eat, i.e., good for eating; I do my utmost to lead             my life pleasantly. But it has come to be the almost             constant prefix to the infinitive, even in situations             where it has no prepositional meaning, as where the             infinitive is direct object or subject; thus, I love to             learn, i.e., I love learning; to die for one's country is             noble, i.e., the dying for one's country. Where the             infinitive denotes the design or purpose, good usage             formerly allowed the prefixing of for to the to; as, what             went ye out for see? (--Matt. xi. 8).                         Then longen folk to go on pilgrimages, And palmers                      for to seeken strange stranders.         --Chaucer.          Note: Such usage is now obsolete or illiterate. In colloquial                usage, to often stands for, and supplies, an infinitive                already mentioned; thus, he commands me to go with him,                but I do not wish to.          5. In many phrases, and in connection with many other words,             to has a pregnant meaning, or is used elliptically. Thus,             it denotes or implies:             (a) Extent; limit; degree of comprehension; inclusion as                   far as; as, they met us to the number of three                   hundred.                               We ready are to try our fortunes To the last                            man.                                             --Shak.                               Few of the Esquimaux can count to ten. --Quant.                                                                               Rev.             (b) Effect; end; consequence; as, the prince was flattered                   to his ruin; he engaged in a war to his cost; violent                   factions exist to the prejudice of the state.             (c) Apposition; connection; antithesis; opposition; as,                   they engaged hand to hand.                               Now we see through a glass, darkly; but then                            face to face.                              --1 Cor. xiii.                                                                               12.             (d) Accord; adaptation; as, an occupation to his taste;                   she has a husband to her mind.                               He to God's image, she to his was made.                                                                               --Dryden.             (e) Comparison; as, three is to nine as nine is to                   twenty-seven; it is ten to one that you will offend                   him.                               All that they did was piety to this. --B.                                                                               Jonson.             (f) Addition; union; accumulation.                               Wisdom he has, and to his wisdom, courage.                                                                               --Denham.             (g) Accompaniment; as, she sang to his guitar; they danced                   to the music of a piano.                               Anon they move In perfect phalanx to the Dorian                            mood Of flutes and soft recorders. --Milton.             (h) Character; condition of being; purpose subserved or                   office filled. [In this sense archaic] [bd]I have a                   king here to my flatterer.[b8] --Shak.                               Made his masters and others . . . to consider                            him to a little wonder.               --Walton.          Note: To in to-day, to-night, and to-morrow has the sense or                force of for or on; for, or on, (this) day, for, or on,                (this) night, for, or on, (the) morrow. To-day,                to-night, to-morrow may be considered as compounds, and                usually as adverbs; but they are sometimes used as                nouns; as, to-day is ours.                            To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow; Creeps                         in this petty pace from day to day. --Shak.          {To and again}, to and fro. [R.]          {To and fro}, forward and back. In this phrase, to is             adverbial.                         There was great showing both to and fro. --Chaucer.          {To-and-fro}, a pacing backward and forward; as, to commence             a to-and-fro. --Tennyson.          {To the face}, in front of; in behind; hence, in the presence             of.          {To wit}, to know; namely. See {Wit}, v. i.          Note: To, without an object expressed, is used adverbially;                as, put to the door, i. e., put the door to its frame,                close it; and in the nautical expressions, to heave to,                to come to, meaning to a certain position. To, like on,                is sometimes used as a command, forward, set to.                [bd]To, Achilles! to, Ajax! to![b8] --Shak.

To \To\ ([?], emphatic or alone, [?], obscure or unemphatic),       prep. [AS. t[d3]; akin to OS. & OFries. t[d3], D. toe, G. zu,       OHG. zuo, zua, z[d3], Russ. do, Ir. & Gael. do, OL. -do, -du,       as in endo, indu, in, Gr. [?], as in [?] homeward. [fb]200.       Cf. {Too}, {Tatoo} a beat of drums.]       1. The preposition to primarily indicates approach and             arrival, motion made in the direction of a place or thing             and attaining it, access; and also, motion or tendency             without arrival; movement toward; -- opposed to {from}.             [bd]To Canterbury they wend.[b8] --Chaucer.                         Stay with us, go not to Wittenberg.   --Shak.                         So to the sylvan lodge They came, that like Pomona's                      arbor smiled.                                    --Milton.                         I'll to him again, . . . He'll tell me all his                      purpose. She stretched her arms to heaven. --Dryden.          2. Hence, it indicates motion, course, or tendency toward a             time, a state or condition, an aim, or anything capable of             being regarded as a limit to a tendency, movement, or             action; as, he is going to a trade; he is rising to wealth             and honor.          Note: Formerly, by omission of the verb denoting motion, to                sometimes followed a form of be, with the sense of at,                or in. [bd]When the sun was [gone or declined] to                rest.[b8] --Chaucer.          3. In a very general way, and with innumerable varieties of             application, to connects transitive verbs with their             remoter or indirect object, and adjectives, nouns, and             neuter or passive verbs with a following noun which limits             their action. Its sphere verges upon that of for, but it             contains less the idea of design or appropriation; as,             these remarks were addressed to a large audience; let us             keep this seat to ourselves; a substance sweet to the             taste; an event painful to the mind; duty to God and to             our parents; a dislike to spirituous liquor.                         Marks and points out each man of us to slaughter.                                                                               --B. Jonson.                         Whilst they, distilled Almost to jelly with the act                      of fear, Stand dumb and speak not to him. --Shak.                         Add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;                      and to knowledge temperance; and to temperance                      patience; and to patience godliness; and to                      godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly                      kindness charity.                              --2 Pet. i.                                                                               5,6,7.                         I have a king's oath to the contrary. --Shak.                         Numbers were crowded to death.            --Clarendon.                         Fate and the dooming gods are deaf to tears.                                                                               --Dryden.                         Go, buckle to the law.                        --Dryden.          4. As sign of the infinitive, to had originally the use of             last defined, governing the infinitive as a verbal noun,             and connecting it as indirect object with a preceding verb             or adjective; thus, ready to go, i.e., ready unto going;             good to eat, i.e., good for eating; I do my utmost to lead             my life pleasantly. But it has come to be the almost             constant prefix to the infinitive, even in situations             where it has no prepositional meaning, as where the             infinitive is direct object or subject; thus, I love to             learn, i.e., I love learning; to die for one's country is             noble, i.e., the dying for one's country. Where the             infinitive denotes the design or purpose, good usage             formerly allowed the prefixing of for to the to; as, what             went ye out for see? (--Matt. xi. 8).                         Then longen folk to go on pilgrimages, And palmers                      for to seeken strange stranders.         --Chaucer.          Note: Such usage is now obsolete or illiterate. In colloquial                usage, to often stands for, and supplies, an infinitive                already mentioned; thus, he commands me to go with him,                but I do not wish to.          5. In many phrases, and in connection with many other words,             to has a pregnant meaning, or is used elliptically. Thus,             it denotes or implies:             (a) Extent; limit; degree of comprehension; inclusion as                   far as; as, they met us to the number of three                   hundred.                               We ready are to try our fortunes To the last                            man.                                             --Shak.                               Few of the Esquimaux can count to ten. --Quant.                                                                               Rev.             (b) Effect; end; consequence; as, the prince was flattered                   to his ruin; he engaged in a war to his cost; violent                   factions exist to the prejudice of the state.             (c) Apposition; connection; antithesis; opposition; as,                   they engaged hand to hand.                               Now we see through a glass, darkly; but then                            face to face.                              --1 Cor. xiii.                                                                               12.             (d) Accord; adaptation; as, an occupation to his taste;                   she has a husband to her mind.                               He to God's image, she to his was made.                                                                               --Dryden.             (e) Comparison; as, three is to nine as nine is to                   twenty-seven; it is ten to one that you will offend                   him.                               All that they did was piety to this. --B.                                                                               Jonson.             (f) Addition; union; accumulation.                               Wisdom he has, and to his wisdom, courage.                                                                               --Denham.             (g) Accompaniment; as, she sang to his guitar; they danced                   to the music of a piano.                               Anon they move In perfect phalanx to the Dorian                            mood Of flutes and soft recorders. --Milton.             (h) Character; condition of being; purpose subserved or                   office filled. [In this sense archaic] [bd]I have a                   king here to my flatterer.[b8] --Shak.                               Made his masters and others . . . to consider                            him to a little wonder.               --Walton.          Note: To in to-day, to-night, and to-morrow has the sense or                force of for or on; for, or on, (this) day, for, or on,                (this) night, for, or on, (the) morrow. To-day,                to-night, to-morrow may be considered as compounds, and                usually as adverbs; but they are sometimes used as                nouns; as, to-day is ours.                            To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow; Creeps                         in this petty pace from day to day. --Shak.          {To and again}, to and fro. [R.]          {To and fro}, forward and back. In this phrase, to is             adverbial.                         There was great showing both to and fro. --Chaucer.          {To-and-fro}, a pacing backward and forward; as, to commence             a to-and-fro. --Tennyson.          {To the face}, in front of; in behind; hence, in the presence             of.          {To wit}, to know; namely. See {Wit}, v. i.          Note: To, without an object expressed, is used adverbially;                as, put to the door, i. e., put the door to its frame,                close it; and in the nautical expressions, to heave to,                to come to, meaning to a certain position. To, like on,                is sometimes used as a command, forward, set to.                [bd]To, Achilles! to, Ajax! to![b8] --Shak.

time division multiple access          {time division multiplexing}
From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
time division multiplexing          (TDM) A type of {multiplexing} where two or       more channels of information are transmitted over the same       link by allocating a different time interval ("slot" or       "slice") for the transmission of each channel.   I.e. the       channels take turns to use the link.   Some kind of periodic       synchronising signal or distinguishing identifier is usually       required so that the receiver can tell which channel is which.          TDM becomes inefficient when traffic is intermittent because       the time slot is still allocated even when the channel has no       data to transmit.   {Statistical time division multiplexing}       was developed to overcome this problem.          Compare {wavelength division multiplexing}, {frequency division       multiplexing}, {code division multiplexing}.          (2001-06-27)
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Timothy, First Epistle to       Paul in this epistle speaks of himself as having left Ephesus       for Macedonia (1:3), and hence not Laodicea, as mentioned in the       subscription; but probably Philippi, or some other city in that       region, was the place where this epistle was written. During the       interval between his first and second imprisonments he probably       visited the scenes of his former labours in Greece and Asia, and       then found his way into Macedonia, whence he wrote this letter       to Timothy, whom he had left behind in Ephesus.                It was probably written about A.D. 66 or 67.                The epistle consists mainly, (1) of counsels to Timothy       regarding the worship and organization of the Church, and the       responsibilities resting on its several members; and (2) of       exhortation to faithfulness in maintaining the truth amid       surrounding errors.
