Abstract: A rail having a recess or groove therein, wherein a heater is located at least partially within the recess or groove, and a method of manufacturing same, including providing a forming a rail with a recess or groove therein, and installing a heater in the recess or groove.

Abstract: A flexible, low-profile heating cable with a first buss conductor, a second buss conductor, a plurality of carbon-based resistive heating elements, the heating elements connected to the first and second busses at connection nodes, high-temperature polymer-based electrical insulating thermally-conductive layers between the heating elements and the buss conductors, except at the node locations, a conductive ground member, a high-temperature polymer-based electrical insulating thermally-conductive layer between the ground member and the buss conductors, and a thermally-conductive over-jacket outside of the ground member.
