Abstract: A server system is communicatively connected to a plurality of computing devices and one or more databases. The server system receives one or more queries from a computing device. The one or more queries specify a data source. The server system determines a level of security applicable to a user of the computing device. The server system translates the one or more queries into one or more logical queries according to semantics of the data source, and transmits the logical queries to a query pipeline of the server system. The server system executes the one or more queries against a first database of the one or more databases to retrieve query results from the data source. The server system applies the determined level of security to the query results to obtain one or more data sets, and returns the one or more data sets to the computing device.

Abstract: A novel gas flame simulating assembly includes a fire media bed, a rear projection lighting system for flame effect on a rear imaging wall and a clear specular reflective panel which is clear enough to allow the viewer to see through it to see the flame simulation on the rear imaging wall, but reflective enough to specularly reflect the fire media bed to increase the perceived depth of the fire media bed and allow the flame effect to appear to arise up through the middle of the reflected media bed. The assembly may further include a forward lighting system to illuminate the underside of the fire media bed and an internal light shield which compartmentalizes the front and rear lighting systems so that the lighting colors do not bleed into one another. This flame simulating assembly may be utilized in fully assembled insert constructions or ready to assembly insert constructions.

Abstract: A flame simulating assembly is provided with a reflected flickering light that includes only one light source. Light from the light source passes through a rotating flicker element onto one or more reflectors, or mirrors, that reflect light up onto a simulated fuel bed and the some of the light is reflected off of the flicker elements towards a flame screen to create a simulated flame. The dipping flicker elements creates a fluttering light effect due to the flicker elements “intermittently dipping” into the light path. This fluctuating light is reflected onto the logs and ember bed in front and creates a dancing effect, which simulates glowing embers.
