Abstract: A system comprises a pole, a conduit track, and a sliding assembly that slides along the conduit track. The pole is configured to support an optical system that includes a camera or antenna. The sliding assembly and conduit track are disposed within an interior of the pole. The sliding assembly supports electrical components used in operation of the optical system, such as power components, storage devices, and communication modules. Cables extend from the optical system, through the conduit track, and to the electrical components supported by the sliding assembly. An access opening along the pole provides an operator easy access to the electrical components. Moreover, all of the electrical components and cables are disposed within the pole and protected from outside elements. The system allows electronic systems power and optics to be deployed in a cost effective, efficient and secure manner in locations alongside roads and other access ways.

Abstract: Provided is a camera module, including: a lens group including a lens barrel and a camera lens; and a driver assembly configured to drive the camera lens to move and including a magnetic portion. The camera lens includes a magnetic matching portion. The magnetic portion and the magnetic matching portion are respectively located at two ends of a side wall of the lens barrel in a thickness direction, and are connectable to each other through magnetic attraction, in such a manner that the camera lens is driven by the driver assembly to move along the optical axis of the camera lens. In this way, the side wall of the lens barrel is free of a through hole, so that light is prevented from entering the lens barrel via the through hole, thereby prolonging the lifetime of the camera module and improving the image-capturing effect.

Abstract: A lens unit capable of checking the airtightness of a seal member between an object side lens and an inner circumferential surface of a lens barrel. A part of an end portion of an air hole on the object side is opened radially inward from the inner circumferential surface of the lens barrel, and at least part of the end portion of the air hole on the image side is opened. When the image side lens is in close contact with the lens installation surface of the flange portion, the air fills the lens barrel through the air hole. The seal member provided between the object side lens and the inner circumferential surface of the lens barrel is damaged or it's not attached to a predetermined position from the beginning, it's still possible to measure air leakages, thus rendering it possible to exactly check the airtightness of the seal member.
