  • Patent number: 10629074
    Abstract: A fast lane driving warning unit and a method are disclosed, in which images in front of a vehicle (6) which runs on a road that comprises a fast lane (L1) are continuously captured, the images to determine whether the vehicle (6) is driving in the fast lane (L1) are analyzed; and a warning signal is sent out when the following conditions are both met: the vehicle (6) runs in the fast lane (L1) at a vehicle speed lower than a lower limit of an allowed speed range of the fast lane (L1) over time longer than a preset time period; and the current traffic condition of the fast lane (L1) permits the vehicle (6) to run in the allowed speed range of the fast lane (L1).

  • Patent number: 10344408
    Abstract: A compression knit fabric, in particular a flat-knit fabric, composed of at least one knitted yarn and an incorporated elastic weft yarn, with a first knit fabric section having a compressive first base weave, to which is attached a second knit fabric section having a second weave different from the base weave which imparts to the second knit fabric section greater elasticity in the longitudinal and/or transverse direction of the knit fabric section than in the first knit fabric section, to which is attached a third knit fabric section having a third weave different from the first base weave and second base weave which imparts to the third knit fabric section greater elasticity in the longitudinal and/or transverse direction of the knit fabric section than in the second knit fabric section.
