    摘要: A thermal energy removal system is provided to cool a rail of a railway track in a self-powered mode and/or an externally-powered mode. The system comprises a cooling module configured to mount on a side of the rail to remove heat stored inside the rail. The cooling module includes a solid state electrical insulation sandwiched between a plate and a heat sink. The cooling module further includes a first terminal and a second terminal. The first and second terminals to provide an electric energy source based on the heat extracted and harnessed for powering at least one of an electronic circuit, a light source, and a communication device associated with railways infrastructure.

    摘要: A monitoring system for a wayside signaling device includes a light emitting diode (LED) circuit with an LED array, a LED driver unit for driving the LED array, and a mechanism for connecting and disconnecting the LED circuit, and an optical light sensing circuit with a light-controlled variable resistor operably coupled to a resistor driver unit including relay functionality. The LED circuit and the sensing circuit are arranged such that the light-controlled variable resistor monitors an output of the LED array, and that the relay functionality triggers the mechanism to connect or disconnect the LED circuit based on the output of the LED array.

    摘要: A system for operating a gate arm of a railroad crossing gate is provided. The system includes a lever, a spring attached to an extendable gate arm, a cable mechanism including a cable and a crossing mechanism. The lever is movably coupled to the cable and the spring is coupled to the cable. The lever is coupled to the crossing mechanism and the cable is coupled to the crossing mechanism. The cable mechanism is configured to extend and retract the extendable gate arm and the lever is configured to enable the spring to pull the extendable arm out from a retracted position.
