Part of the Operating systems glossary: VMS (Virtual Memory System) is an operating system from the Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) that runs in its older mid-range computers. VMS originated in 1979 as a new operating system for DEC's new VAX computer, the successor to DEC's PDP-11. VMS is a 32-bit system that exploits the concept of virtual memory. VMS was renamed OpenVMS when it was redeveloped for the Alpha processor.
A Vagus Nerve Stimulator (VNS) is a device used to treat seizures when seizure drugs are not effective and surgery is not possible. VNS consists of a pacemaker-like generator that is implanted in the chest wall and is programmed by the physician to stimulate the vagus nerve in the neck. Thin wires are threaded under the skin and woven around the vagus nerve in the neck.
