A quad-rotor or other unmanned aerial drone having a planar vapor chamber mounted to a processor of the drone to cool the processor. The processor may be enclosed in a protective central housing. The vapor chamber is mounted, in some examples, with a perimeter of the vapor chamber extending from the processor through the housing into an airflow region near the rotors of the drone so that airflow, which may include propeller wash, serves to cool the perimeter of the vapor chamber. The planar vapor chamber cools the enclosed processor using both phase-change cooling/heat spreading (i.e. heat is dissipated from the processor via evaporation and subsequent condensation) and convection (i.e. airflow passing over the perimeter of the vapor chamber carries heat away).

Multi-rotor aerial drone with vapor chamber

An aerial imaging system and method of aerially capturing an image including a first unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and a second UAV. The first UAV includes a camera and may be configured to receive input from an operator. The second UAV may be configured to dock with and deploy from the first UAV. The second UAV includes a light configured to provide remote illumination for the camera. The light on the second UAV may be activated to illuminate a target of photography by the camera while the second UAV is flown separate from the first UAV.

Imaging using multiple unmanned aerial vehicles

An SoC integrated circuit package is provided in which the analog components of a SerDes for an SoC die in the SoC integrated circuit package are segregated into a SerDes interface die in the SoC integrated circuit package.
