Abstract: The grounded modular heated cover is disclosed with a first pliable outer layer and a second pliable outer layer, wherein the outer layers provide durable protection, an electrical heating element between the first and the second outer layers, the electrical heating element configured to convert electrical energy to heat energy, a heat spreading layer, and a thermal insulation layer positioned above the active electrical heating element. Beneficially, such a device provides radiant heat, weather isolation, temperature insulation, and solar heat absorption efficiently and cost effectively. The modular heated cover quickly and efficiently removes ice, snow, and frost from surfaces, and penetrates soil and other material to thaw the material to a suitable depth. A plurality of modular heated covers can be connected on a single 120 Volt circuit protected by a 20 Amp breaker. The modular heated covers are grounded for safety using the conductive heat spreading layer.

Abstract: This invention relates to a protective device for foliage used to shelter the foliage from frost and/or freezing conditions. More particularly, it relates to foliage protectors, which can, but are not limited to the use of low wattage heating units as an integral part of the protective device. The invention encapsulates the foliage in a flexible enclosure and is available in various sizes and thermal warming capacities. The foliage protector expressly utilizes waste heat from conventional rope light and/or kapton heater tape for providing the heat source.
