A system including an optical system having at least one refractive or reflective element, the optical system configured to substantially receive electromagnetic radiation emanating from a source, the optical system being located within a Dewar, a support structure, support structure being mechanically disposed between the optical system and a surface of the Dewar, the support structure having substantially low thermal conductance, a cold source; the cold source being located within the Dewar, a thermal link, the thermal link being mechanically disposed between the optical system and the cold source, the thermal link being substantially flexible and having substantially high thermal conductance.

A housing for a device an outside and an inside, as well as an access passage for access from the outside of the housing to a component of the device inside the housing. The access passage comprises an outer opening section, and an inner drainage channel. The drainage channel is arranged below the outer opening section, which has vertical side walls extending inwardly from the outside of the housing. Each sidewall has a top width (W.sub.T) and a bottom width (W.sub.B), the top width (W.sub.T) being narrower than the bottom width (W.sub.B). The sidewalls provide a guiding surface for a liquid entering the access passage, such that the liquid is guided towards the drainage channel.

Embodiments of this application disclose a terminal. The terminal includes a bezel, a screen, a lampshade, and a proximity light assembly. A periphery of the screen is fixedly connected to the bezel. The bezel is provided with a through hole. The lampshade is located on an inner side of the bezel and partially accommodated in the through hole. The proximity light assembly is located on the inner side of the bezel. The proximity light assembly is configured to emit emitted light into the lampshade and receive induced light passing through the lampshade. The emitted light passes through the lampshade to form emergent light. The emergent light intersects with a plane on which the screen is located. The terminal has a relatively high screen-to-body ratio.
