    Abstract: A vehicle such as an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) can include a heat-generating electronic device coupled with a heat exhaust element by a vibration isolating thermal connector. The thermal connector includes a first heat-conducting element configured to draw heat from the electronic device, a second heat-conducting element separated from the first heat-conducting element, and a flexible seal connected with the first and second heat-conducting elements and defining an enclosed cavity between the elements. The enclosed cavity contains a heat conducting liquid, and allows limited movement of the first and second heat conducting elements with respect to each other while maintaining thermal connection.

    Abstract: Fluidic channels and pumps for active cooling of cables are described. One cable assembly includes a conductor having a length between a first end of the cable and a second end of the cable and a fluidic channel structure that at least partially surrounds the conductor along the length of the conductor. A first pump connector is coupled to a first end of the fluidic channel structure and a second pump connector is coupled to a second end of the fluidic channel structure. Motion of liquid metal, when pumped through the fluidic channel structure, distributes heat away from the conductor.
