Patent ID: 8016963

Claim:
An apparatus comprising: a first transport mechanism for a first material that transports said first material; an imaging part for said first material, said imaging part forming images of locations of features in said first material while said first material is being transported by said first transport mechanism; a second transport mechanism for a second material that transports said second material; a computer that computes locations of said features in said second material, responsive to information from said imaging part including information from said images, and producing outputs indicative of forming features in said second material based on information from said imaging part about said locations of said features in said first material while said second material is being transported by said second transport mechanism, wherein multiple of said features in said first material form a first pattern, and wherein multiple of said features in said second material form a second pattern, where said computer adjusts said second pattern of the second material to match all of a position, size and a rotation of said first pattern while both said first material and said second material are being transported; and a feature forming part that forms features in said second material, based on said locations that are computed by said computer, and where said feature forming part forms said features while said second material is being transported.
