In the first part of this thesis I consider site and bond percolation on a Random Connection Model and prove that for a wide range of connection functions the critical site probability is strictly greater than the critical bond probability and use this fact to improve previously known non-strict inequalities to strict inequalities. In the second part I consider percolation on the even phase of a Random Sequential Adsorption model and prove that the critical intensity is finite and strictly bigger than 1. Both of these main results make use of an enhancement technique.
