  • Patent number: 11944197
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a table (100). The table (100) has a table top (102), a plurality of legs (104) connectable to the table top (102), and an air purifier (106) adapted to be placed below the table top (102). A bottom side of the table top (102) is provided with at least one groove (112) extending in a circumferential direction for preventing liquid from traveling from an outer edge of the table top (102) along the bottom side of the table top (102) and reaching an inner section of the air purifier (106). The disclosure also relates to a method for purifying air using a table (100).

  • Publication number: 20200265710
    Abstract: A travelling track prediction method and device for a vehicle are provided. The method includes that: calculating a plurality of potential positions to which is to be reached by a target vehicle within a preset time within a sensible range of a main vehicle; selecting at least two positions from the plurality of potential positions as target positions; predicting a plurality of travelling tracks to each target position for the target vehicle based on travelling state information of the target vehicle; and selecting at least one travelling track from the plurality of travelling tracks as a prediction result of the target vehicle based on environment information around the target vehicle. According to the embodiments, the travelling track of the target vehicle around the main vehicle may be accurately predicted based on travelling state information and the environment information.
