A smart lamp system and method for monitoring a status of LEDs. The system can provide LED status monitoring using a logic controller communicating with at least one strip of LEDs. The system can utilize the logic controller to assign a unique identifier (ID) to the at least one strip of LEDs based on a physical position of a plurality of dual-inline package (DIP) switches incorporated within a smart lamp housing. The system can provide a hardware architecture to interface the logic controller with a power-line communication (PLC) transceiver. The system can establish a communication protocol between the PLC transceiver and a PLC receiver to efficiently communicate the statuses of the LEDs. The logic controller can generate a payload including a binary representation of the unique ID of the smart lamp and the statuses of the LEDs and transmit the payload to the PLC transceiver.

The object of the present invention is to provide a system for operating a marshalling yard in a more efficient and time saving way, by avoiding unnecessary procedures of preparation, usually done manually by mechanical means only, and turn it into an advanced technological facility.

A rail signal arrangement for a rail signaling system comprises a rail signal having a rail signal lamp including a plurality of light emitter sub-arrays each comprising a light emitter, wherein the light emitter sub-arrays are electrically connected in parallel. A control circuit is provided and configured to operate the rail signal lamp in response to operating instructions from a remote operations management system, detect the proportion of light emitter sub-arrays that are in an operable condition with a monitoring system, and provide a condition status signal to the remote operations management system in accordance with whether the proportion of light emitter sub-arrays in an operable condition meets a minimum threshold level.

An object of the invention is to provide a field programmable gate array which is able to prevent an inappropriate value from being output to the outside of an FPGA even when an SRAM-based programmable logic portion is out of order and to secure safety of a system. The field programmable gate array of the invention includes a hard macro CPU in which a circuit structure is fixed, a programmable logic in which a circuit structure is changeable, a diagnosis circuit which diagnoses an abnormality of the programmable logic, and a fail-safe interface circuit which is able to control an external output from the programmable logic to a safe side, and the hard macro CPU outputs a fail-safe signal which is an output of a safe side to the fail-sate interface circuit when an error is detected by the diagnosis circuit.

An apparatus including a housing; a solid state light source disposed in the housing to emit light therefrom; and a filter disposed in or on the housing in optical communication with the solid state light source to reshape a radiometric spectrum of the light emitted by the solid state light source to substantially replicate a radiometric spectrum of an incandescent filament light source.
