    Abstract: The various implementations described herein include systems and devices that comprise a cooling structure. In one aspect, a camera system comprises a cooling structure made from a thermally conductive material. The cooling structure has an exterior surface, an interior surface, a hollow portion, and a sidewall. The sidewall includes a through hole that penetrates the sidewall. The exterior surface includes surface features and is configured to radiate away from the cooling structure heat generated within the hollow portion that is transmitted from the interior surface to the exterior surface. The camera system further comprises a camera contained within the hollow portion of the cooling structure, a first electrical component that is embedded in the through hole, electrical components contained within the hollow portion, and an external housing that at least partially encloses the cooling structure.

    Abstract: This application is directed to a passively-cooled electronic device including a housing, a plurality of electronic assemblies and a plurality of thermally conductive parts. The electronic assemblies are enclosed in the housing, and include a first electronic assembly and a second electronic assembly. The first and second electronic assemblies are disposed proximately to each other within the housing, and the second electronic assembly is substantially sensitive to heat, including heat generated by operation of the first electronic assembly. The thermally conductive parts are coupled between the first electronic assembly and the housing, and configured to create a first plurality of heat conduction paths to conduct the heat generated by the first electronic assembly away from the second electronic assembly without using a fan. At least a subset of the thermally conductive parts mechanically supports one or both of the first and second electronic assemblies.

    Abstract: This application is directed to a lens assembly configured to focus light on a sensor array of an optical device. The lens assembly comprises one or more optical lenses and an electrochromic layer positioned between the one or more optical lenses and the sensor array. The electrochromic layer has one or more optical properties that are responsive to voltage applied to the layer, including a first optical property related to optical transmissivity. The first optical property includes a first state, responsive to a first applied voltage, in which the layer is substantially opaque to a predefined band of IR wavelengths. The first optical property also includes a second state, responsive to a second applied voltage distinct from the first applied voltage, in which the layer is substantially transparent to the predefined band of IR wavelengths and visible wavelengths.
