Abstract:
An apparatus and method for tracking defects in sheet materials. The abstract of the disclosure is submitted herewith as required by 37 C.F.R. § 1.72(b). As stated in 37 C.F.R. § 1.72(b): A brief abstract of the technical disclosure in the specification must commence on a separate sheet, preferably following the claims, under the heading “Abstract of the Disclosure.” The purpose of the abstract is to enable the Patent and Trademark Office and the public generally to determine quickly from a cursory inspection the nature and gist of the technical disclosure. The abstract shall not be used for interpreting the scope of the claims. Therefore, any statements made relating to the abstract are not intended to limit the claims in any manner and should not be interpreted as limiting the claims in any manner.

Claim (Index 14):
The method according to  claim 2 , wherein:\n between said first structure sensor and said second structure sensor, an inlet sensor acquires said at least one inherent structural feature of said sheet material before a second processing unit changes or alters said at least one inherent structural feature of said sheet material; from said acquired inherent structural feature an input data record is produced, and compared with said first structure data record; and in the case of concordance of said first structure data record with said input data record, an outlet sensor acquires said at least one inherent structural feature of said sheet material emerging from said second processing station, taking into account the runthrough speed of said sheet material through said second processing unit; and an output data record is created and stored. the position of said material defect on said sheet material is identified by a comparison of said output data record present with said second structure data record ascertained, and/or said output data record and at least said first structure data record are compared and the change is acquired.
