Abstract: The landscaping tarpaulin is a collection device. The landscaping tarpaulin is configured for use in the collection of debris from the ground. The debris is placed on the landscaping tarpaulin. The landscaping tarpaulin forms a containment structure used to transport the debris for disposal. The landscaping tarpaulin comprises a tarpaulin structure, a plurality of magnets, a plurality of zippers, and a plurality of kick steps. The plurality of magnets, the plurality of zippers, and the plurality of kick steps attach to the tarpaulin structure. The plurality of magnets secure the corners of the tarpaulin structure together to form the containment structure of the tarpaulin structure. The plurality of zippers enclose the tarpaulin structure into a bag like containment structure. The plurality of kick steps form foot holds used to hold the tarpaulin structure in a fixed position as the debris is loaded onto the tarpaulin structure.

Abstract: A steam generator tube probe includes a probe head comprising an electronic probe coupled between a proximal portion of the head that is configured for entry into a steam generator tube and a distal portion of the head; and a probe shaft coupled to the distal portion of the shaft and comprising a flexible metallic conduit that comprises a plurality of interlocking portions, each interlocking portion moveably affixed to at least one adjacent interlocking portion.
