An inventory of industrial mats having different core or internal constructions that are not visible because of the inclusion of side, end, upper and lower components which hide the core or internal construction from view, wherein each mat has an electronic device that indicates what is present in the hidden core or internal construction of the mat, with the electronic device including a processor, storage, and wireless communications circuitry that is configured to transmit identification, location, usage or physical property information of the mats over a wireless telecommunications network. Also, a method for providing an identification of mat properties or usage for an inventory of mats by viewing the information stored on the electronic device or by retrieving over a wireless telecommunications network identification, location, usage or physical property information of the mats from the storage of the electronic device.

Multipurpose tactile warning panels for use in pedestrian walkways, and in particular tactile warning panels that are designed and built with multifunction/multipurpose capabilities that serve the visually impaired and enable the deployment of smart city technology by integrating tactile warning systems and subsurface enclosures that can withstand pressures of five (5) tons up to and exceeding sixty (60) tons and incorporate small cells, beacons, sensors, Fog Computing, electric energy generation, rechargeable power supplies, wireless M2M communication and a plethora of other smart city technologies.

A modular system and method for monitoring and distributing power is disclosed. A container having at least one side surface with an exit port or entrance port, a conduit transmitting through the container and an internal cavity. A container system in the internal cavity has a power distribution system, a data distribution system, and monitoring sensor monitoring container system data. A processor receives the container system data from the monitoring sensor, processes the data and transmits the processed data to the container system.

The present invention discloses a plurality of modular containers. The modular containers can comprise a first container that includes a first top surface, a first bottom surface and at least one first side surface oriented between the first top and the first bottom surface. The first container can define a first internal cavity. The modular containers can also include a container system that is located in the first internal cavity. The modular containers can include a power distribution system and a data distribution system. In addition, the modular containers can include a second container. The second container can comprise a second top surface, a second bottom surface and at least one second side surface oriented between the second top and the second bottom surface. The second container can also define second internal cavity. Further, the modular containers can include a container subsystem located in the second internal cavity. The container system can also be in communication with the container subsystem.

The disclosed technology includes a paver including a gripping structure on the bottom surface thereof, as well as methods for manufacturing and using the same.
