Abstract: A method for simulating a candle flame with at least one computing device. The method may include controlling at least one lighting element according to at least a current wind value and a current flame value. The method may include controlling the current wind value and the current flame value by iteratively determining whether a first event occurred. When the first event is determined to have occurred, the method may include setting the current wind value to a random wind value and then changing the current wind value toward a baseline wind value. When the first event is determined to have not occurred, the method may include changing the current wind value toward the baseline wind value, determining whether a second event occurred. When the second event is determined to have occurred, the method may include setting the current flame value to a random flame value.

Abstract: A flame simulation method including: identifying, by a computing device, a maximum brightness level value and a primary event generation level; setting, in response to determining that a first event occurred based on the primary event generation level, a secondary event generation level; adjusting the secondary event generation level towards a baseline secondary event generation level; adjusting a current brightness value of a lighting element of a flame simulation apparatus towards the maximum brightness level value; setting, in response to determining that a second event occurred based on the secondary event generation level, the current brightness level value of the lighting element to a value less than the maximum brightness level; and controlling, by the computing device, a brightness level of the lighting element to correspond to the current brightness level value of the lighting element.

Abstract: The disclosed systems and methods relate to improved tamper-proof cases for securely storing and shipping products. In one example, a tamper-proof case comprises a unibody frame constructed from a single piece of material. The unibody frame can comprise six sides and include one or more living hinges that allow the unibody frame to fold into a completed case. Various sides can be configured to receive panels to give the crate additional structure, rigidity, and security. Additionally, the frame can comprise a split-top lid with a self-locking mechanism with a tamper-proof pull tab for opening the lid.
