Abstract: A method of operating a warning light assembly at a railway crossing, as well as a warning light assembly operable in accordance with such a method, are disclosed. An example method includes receiving a voltage signal at the warning light assembly that corresponds to a railway crossing event. The method includes initiating a warning light flashing sequence that includes, during a first time period, illuminating the warning light during receipt of the voltage signal in a flashing pattern having a flashing frequency. The warning light flashing sequence also includes, during a second time period after the first time period, discontinuing the flashing pattern and illuminating the warning light in accordance with the voltage signal. Upon determining that receipt of the voltage signal at the warning light assembly is discontinued for at least for a predetermined time, the warning light flashing sequence is reinitialized for a next railway crossing event.

Abstract: An LED light string control system includes an LED light string, a voltage generation apparatus, and a control module. The control module controls the voltage generation apparatus to change a signal provided to the LED light string to a first voltage level according to a first logic of a light command, and changes the signal to a second voltage level according to a second logic of the light command. The control module controls the voltage generation apparatus to change the signal to a distinction voltage level once the first logics and/or the second logics of the light command appear consecutively.

Abstract: A leakage protection circuit and a dimming drive circuit are provided. A leakage detection circuit is configured to detect whether leakage occurs between two input terminals that receive an external signal. When leakage occurs, leakage protection measures are taken. A pulse generation circuit receives the sampling signal characterizing the voltage between the two input terminals to compare the sampling signal with two thresholds to control a detection path of the leakage detection circuit to be turned on or off according to a comparison result. The leakage detection path is enabled to be turned on twice by setting two pulse signals in a power frequency period, which can consider the leakage detection of the front-edge phase-cutting dimming and rear-edge phase-cutting dimming of the dimming drive circuit and has a wide range of applications.
