T9 is a text input method for mobile phones and other small devices. It replaces the "multi-tap" input method by guessing the word that you are trying to enter. T9 may be embedded in a device by the manufacturer. Note that even if the device supports T9, the Java implementation may or may not use it. Check your documentation for details.

- In XML documents, a piece of text that describes a unit of data or an element. The tag is distinguishable as markup, as opposed to data, because it is surrounded by angle brackets (
<and>). To treat such markup syntax as data, you use an entity reference or aCDATAsection.

Telematics is a location-based service that routes event notification and control data over wireless networks to and from mobile devices installed in automobiles. Telematics makes use of GPS technology to track vehicle latitude and longitude, and displays maps in LED consoles mounted in dashboards. It connects to remote processing centers that turn provide server-side Internet and voice services, as well as access to database resources.

A Java keyword that can be used to represent an instance of the class in which it appears.
thiscan be used to access class variables and methods.A Java reserved word with several different uses:
- Within a constructor, it may be used as the first statement to call another constructor in the same class. For example
// Initialise with default values. public Heater() { // Use the other constructor. this(15, 20); } // Initialise with the given values. public Heater(int min,int max) { ... } - Within a constructor or method, it may be used to distinguish between a field and a parameter or method variable of the same name. For instance:
public Heater(int min,int max) { this.min = min; this.max = max; ... } - It can be used as a reference to the current object, typically in order to pass a reference to another object:
talker.talkToMe(this);
- Within a constructor, it may be used as the first statement to call another constructor in the same class. For example

A lightweight process that is managed by the Java Virtual Machine (JVM). Support for threads is provided by the
Threadclass in thejava.langpackage.The basic unit of program execution. A process can have several threads running concurrently, each performing a different job, such as waiting for events or performing a time-consuming job that the program doesn't need to complete before going on. When a thread has finished its job, the thread is suspended or destroyed. See also process.
