Abstract:
A simulated fire is described that includes a light source that generates multiple colours which are mixed in a ratio to define a coloured output which is then incident on a fire simulation means to generate on a screen an image of a fire. The multiple colours are desirably output from one or more multi-coloured LEDs.
Abstract:
An electric fire is disclosed that is configured to provide for a controlled generation of simulated fire effects. The fire is controllable using a touch screen panel located within an active area defined within a front screen of the fire, such that a user can simultaneously control the fire while looking at the resultant fire effects generated. The active area includes a light source configured to illuminate the controls of the touch screen panel so as to enable a user to select an appropriate control, the light source being configured to extinguish after a predetermined period has elapsed since a touching of the touch screen panel.
Abstract:
A controller for energy management systems and particularly for energy management control systems that interface with various sources of energy and divert available energy based on energy supply and demand is described.
Abstract:
A fire comprising a housing providing support for a fire effect area on which fire effects may be generated or simulated is described. A light well is arranged relative to the fire effect area and is usefully employed to generate a lighting effect secondary to that of the fire effect area.
