Abstract:
A check valve construction is provided in which a moveable a movable ball having a convex surface resides in a cage having a conical frustum chamber and a seat for the ball. A fluid path between the ball and the cage is defined by the equation: G = D cos ( b - a ) 2 cos b - d 2 wherein G is the gap of the narrowest passageway of the fluid path, D is the diameter of the small end of the conical frustum chamber of the cage, d is the diameter of the convex surface of the ball, a is the angle between a vertical diameter of the ball and the position of the narrowest gap on the convex surface of the ball, and, b is the angle between the vertical diameter of the movable element and the position of the small end of conical frustum chamber of the cage.

Abstract:
The present invention produces a combustion simulation of flames, burning logs and embers in a fuel-burning fireplace or like device. One or more light source(s), such as LEDs, are used to transmit light to and through one or more of an artificial log set and an ember bed. A microprocessor-based controller is used to vary one or more of light intensity and color of the LEDs to simulate a naturally varying glow effect of the ember bed and the log set.
