Short for video on demand, VOD systems allow users to select and watch video content at any time they wish over video cable system or a network as part of an interactive television system. Selections are limited by server storage capacity. VOD systems are either streaming, in which viewing can start as the video streams over the Internet (or other network), or download, in which the program is brought in its entirety to a set-top box before viewing starts.

A multimedia application with which a user can access motion or still video, which may be available as public or private services.

A system that allows users to select video programming from a broadband network. The system affords the user playback controls over a video.

Vacuum Oxygen Decarburization. Process for further refinement of stainless steel through reduction of carbon content. The amount of carbon in stainless steel must be lower than that in carbon steel or lower alloy steel (i.e., steel with alloying element content below 5%). While electric arc furnaces (EAF) are the conventional means of melting and refining stainless steel, VOD is an economical supplement, as operating time is reduced and temperatures are lower than in EAF steel-making. Additionally, using VOD for refining stainless steel increases the availability of the EAF for melting purposes. Molten, unrefined steel is transferred from the EAF into a separate vessel, where it is heated and stirred by an electrical current while oxygen enters from the top of the vessel. Substantial quantities of undesirable gases escape from the steel and are drawn off by a vacuum pump. Alloys and other additives are then mixed in to refine the molten steel further.

Vacuum Oxygen Decarburisation. A refinement of stainless steel that reduces carbon content. Molten, unrefined stainless steel is heated and stirred by an electrical current while oxygen enters from the top. Many undesirable gases escape from the the stainless steel and are evacuated by a vacuum pump. Alloys and other additives are then mixed in to refine the molten stainless steel further.
