A treatment unit for in-line treatment of at least one thread for use with a thread consuming device is provided.

A fully fashion knitted outer covering made by using a method for generation of contour fit 3D fully fashion knitted outer covering pattern based on 3D exterior data of an object. The method comprises the following steps: digitizing an individual to create a 3D object data cloud; automatically and/or manually recognizing object's exterior landmarks; extracting the object's exterior measurements; calculating the outer covering pattern block of the digitized surface of the object according to the extracted object's exterior measurements including geodesic measurements; transforming the outer covering block to 3D weft knitted outer covering pattern by introducing horizontal and/or vertical darts; and translating the modified knitted outer covering pattern to knitting diagrams and/or instructions, which can then be transferred to knitwear CAD system to control the automatic knitting machine to knit the required knitted outer covering.

Wearable compression systems, which may comprise one or more or a plurality of actuator(s) embedded within a textile structure and may be configured to provide a compression function to a therapy target of an individual. Wearable compression systems may comprise a circuit or the like. Methods of operating a wearable compression system. Methods of designing (e.g., automatically designing) wearable compression systems. Methods of designing may comprise receiving a set of measurements, generating default dimensions, default number of actuators, and/or default actuator locations for a wearable compression system and/or a graphical representation of same, optionally modifying default dimensions, default number of actuators, and/or default actuator locations, updating the wearable compression system and/or graphical representation of same, and generating an instruction file. Methods of treating edema or symptoms of edema.
