Abstract: An illuminated dock board system comprises a plurality of dock board components that each include one or more channels, each channel having a chamber beneath it. A channel cover component may be separably received into the open top of the channel to cover the channel and may be constructed from a low-opacity material to allow light to emanate. An electrical lighting subsystem comprising a light generating component (e.g., an LED strip) at least partially resides in a channel of a dock board component. And fasteners inserted through the channel and the chamber of a given dock board component operate to mechanically fix the given dock board component to a support structure (pylons, joists, stringers, etc.) such that a head of the fastener resides within the channel in contact with the bottom channel surface and a shank portion of the fastener resides within the chamber.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes various embodiments, as well as features and aspects thereof, of a sealing strip that can function to create a thermal, gas, liquid and/or particulate barrier between the primary surface and the secondary surface when the two are mated. More specifically, one embodiment of the sealing strip includes a coupling portion for detachably coupling the sealing strip to a primary surface, a gasket portion defining a channel and a channel insert; the gasket portion having a flexing portion, a flex point and a channel; the channel insert configured to fill at least a portion of the channel, to fit at least partially within said channel and to extend along at least a partial length of said channel.
