Abstract: The present disclosure describes systems and methods relating to full motion video (FMV) routing in one-way transfer (OWT) systems. The present technology enriches the datagrams of the video stream that are sent from the low-trust side of the OWT system with a global unique identifier (GUID) that is used as an identifier to determine a particular destination on the high-trust side of the OWT system. The enriched video stream is then transmitted through an OWT system that provide high reliability for the enriched video stream. When the enriched video stream is received on the high-trust side, the GUID in the datagram is extracted and used to identify destination addresses for destination devices in the high-trust computing environment. The video stream is then delivered to the destination devices having the corresponding destination addresses.

Abstract: In one example of the disclosed technology, a method of fabricating a device comprises forming a patterned layer of a material on a surface of a substrate by depositing the material through a stencil mask, and forming a passivating layer over the patterned layer and the substrate surface in a sealed apparatus, the substrate being maintained under a vacuum until after the passivating layer has been formed. In some examples, the passivation is performed by oxidising a deposited aluminium layer within a deposition chamber.
