Abstract: A thermal walkway cover comprises at least three laminated layers including a middle layer of electrically conductive carbonized rubber, a durable, waterproof, UV-resistant top layer, and an insulating, waterproof bottom layer. Means are provided in to form of electrically conductive strips embedded in the middle layer to heat the middle layer. Connections are provided to a power source. The cover may have one or more edges of a dovetail construction so that cover sections or modules may be connected together to cover a desired walkway area, in which case electrical connections are provided between individual modules.

Abstract: A pad, system and method of collecting and containing liquid leaks and spills, comprising a flexible, liquid-impervious pad having a bottom and inflatable sides, a pair of tethers connected at one end to one end of the pad, and a pair of poles detachably connectable at one end thereof to the tethers. The poles are used to position the uninflated pad under a source of leakage or spillage, after which the poles are disconnected from the tethers and the sides of the pad are inflated.
