    Abstract: A light emitting diode (LED) driver includes an inverter for converting a DC input signal to a pulsating signal. A multiple output multi-resonant converter generates a first LED string current in response to the pulsating signal, and also generates a second LED string current in response to the pulsating signal. A transistor that may be a FET or BJT operating in its linear region regulates the second LED string current independent of the first LED string current without sacrificing efficiency of the overall power train.

    Abstract: A method for operating illumination sources includes receiving a first set of images of one or more illumination sources that are generated by an image capturing device. The method further includes computing a first distance and a first perspective angle between the image capturing device and each illumination source during the generation of the first set of images. Furthermore, the method includes generating first characteristic information for each illumination source based on a comparison between at least one of the first distance or the first perspective angle for each illumination source with at least one of a predefined distance or a predefined perspective angle for each illumination source. The method also includes generating a command signal based on a comparison between the first characteristic information and a predefined characteristic threshold for each of the one or more illumination sources.
