The Jacquard process and the necessary loom attachment are named after their inventor, Joseph Marie Jacquard (1752-1834). This mechanism is probably one of the most important weaving inventions as Jacquard shedding made possible the automatic production of unlimited varieties of pattern weaving. The term "Jacquard" is not specific or limited to any particular loom, but rather refers to the added control mechanism that automates the patterning.

"Ribbed" means that it is worked with alternating knit and purl stitches with the knit stitches arranged in columns and the purl stitches in alternating columns.
"Jacquard" means it is a two color pattern, also called Fair Isle. Each row will contain short stretches of one color while the other color is carried out of sight on the back. Then the two yarns are swapped so the other color is worked while the first is carried in back.
Jacquard is a weaving loom mechanism that allows the textile loom to create multicolor patters, by using a system of cardboard "cards" with patterns of holes in them. The machine could "read " the holes & advance or hold back the yarn to create & reproduce patterns "automatically. Jacquard looms were invented in France & go back almost 400 years. The Jacquard Card system would later become the basis for the IBM punch cards that launched the "modern" IBM computer sorting system used from the 1930's up through the 70's
"Double knit" means the fabric is reversible. Basically it's two pieces of fabric with the private sides (insides) touching each other, but both sides of the fabric are knit at the same time. Each time a color changes, the two fabrics are joined together. The resulting effect is that one side is a mirrored negative of the other side. For example, on one side you'd see a white cat on a blue background facing left, and on the back side you'd see a blue cat on a white background facing right.
So a ribbed jacquard double knit fabric is one that encompasses all of those features in one fabric. Without the ribbing it's not that hard to do. In all honesty, I suspect few knitters would tackle it ribbed on top of everything else.

What is difference between lacoste fabric and pique fabric?
Interlock knit fabric is a specific weave of knit fabric. Of the knit fabrics, generally it is the best quality. The front and back of the fabric look the same. It is also the softest. It usually hangs better than cheaper knits, but tends to pile more. Pique fabrics are a type of dobby construction. Piques may be constructed in various patterns such as cord, waffle, honeycomb and birdseye piques. These fabrics require the addition of extra yarns, called stuffer yarns. These stuffer yarns are incorporated into the back of the fabric to give texture and added depth to the fabric design. Some piques may be made using the Jacquard attachment on the loom. Although made of 100% cotton to-day, cotton-silk and even pure silk versions were made in the past and in a variety of weaves. It is warmer than cotton jersey or rib knit because it is a double knit construction, making it thicker and heavier than a single knit. Source: Wikipedia
