  • Publication number: 20170159900
    Abstract: An electronic artificial flame device for providing an artificial flame having realistic flame colors and apparent flame motion, in multiple dimensions of chromaticity, luminosity, plasma anger, and spatial walk, coordinated by a mathematical model based on real flame. The device includes input electronics, output electronics, light assemblies, and a flame screen. The input electronics implement the model of a real flame, and the light assemblies, which include one or more light emitting diodes, emit light under control of the output electronics. The light assemblies direct the emitted light onto the flame screen, and the flame screen reflects the directed light to provide the visible aspect of the artificial flame. The mathematical model includes a flame model, a color conversion function, and a projection function for modeling, respectively, the shape, color, and movement of the real flame, and may also include an additional output noise function.
