  • An example of this type of appliance is disclosed in the document US20070125367A1 where a flame is simulated by electronic means.
  • At least one light source such as LEDs, is used to achieve this in conjunction with a microprocessor that is used to vary the intensity of the light and its colour of the light (of the LEDs) in order to simulate the natural effect of a live flame. Simulation of logs and wood are also disclosed.
  • Appliances that heat and/or light by means of a non-solid fuel such as gas for example comprise at least one burner to which the gas is supplied, a flame being generated in the burner when the gas is ignited.
  • the intensity of the flame depends on the gas (or on an air-gas mixture) that reaches the burner, and there are known appliances that, in order to simulate the effect of combustion cause a modification of the flame by the blowing an air current directly into the burner (or onto the flame generated in the burner) for example, thereby altering the flame, which modifies its shape in accordance with the air current directed into the burner.
  • U.S. Patent No. 6,162,045 discloses an example of this type of appliances, in which the vibrations of a speaker disposed in the burner disturb the air-gas mixture that reaches the burner, the flame being altered in accordance with the vibrations.
  • the gas that reaches the burner is regulated by acting on a valve that regulates the passage of the gas to the burner.
  • the valve is acted on in accordance with preset patterns, the user being able to select among a preset number of patterns at any given moment. These patterns can imitate known music or even certain ambiences such as a romantic ambience.

  • the amplitude of the melody suffers frequent variations between an area of maximum levels Zmax and an area of minimum levels Zmin, these being major variations in amplitude, as a result of which the most suitable relationship to be applied in this case is the linear relationship shown in Figure 2a .
  • the volume of the melody suffers frequent variations only in the area of minimum levels Zmin, these being minor variations in amplitude, and suffers very few variations between the area of minimum levels Zmin and the area of maximum levels Zmax, and/or area of maximum levels Zmax.
  • the most suitable relationship to be applied in this case is the logarithmic relationship shown in Figure 2b , by means of which a small range of analog input values (x-axis) of the area of minimum levels Zmin corresponds to a large range of digital output values (control signal Sc in the y-axis).
  • the amplitude of the melody suffers frequent variations only in the area of maximum levels Zmax, these being minor variations in amplitude, and suffers very few variations between the area of maximum levels Zmax and the area of minimum levels Zmin, and/or in the area of minimum levels Zmin.
  • the most suitable relationship to be applied in this case is the potential relationship shown in Figure 2c , by means of which a small range of analog input values (x-axis) of the area of maximum levels Zmax corresponds to a large range of digital output values (control signal Sc in the y-axis).
  • control means 3 automatically selects the most appropriate relationship to be applied.
