Terminology question

I know an ISOT is a geographical area transfered though along time (usually into the past).
What is an individual transfered along time (like the protagonist in Lest Darkness Falls?
What is a geographical area transfered across time (like sending Vermont to the Clive-less TL)?
What is an individual transfered across time (like the individuals presumably from Laxaria, Lizbia and Taured in http://www.dark-stories.com/eng/the_...to_earth.htm)?

2 is also an ISOT. 1 and 3 do not, as far as I know, have a widely accepted standard name, but many people use ISOT for those circumstances.

I have been using "slider" for 3. But it does honor a rather mediocre SF series...
