Likewise, independent claim 27 is drawn to a machine for
transferring discrete areas of material from a carrier onto a
substrate and requires, inter alia, “a carrier control
mechanism including at least a second electrical motor that
positions at least first and second guides to change path
lengths followed by the carrier on opposite sides of the
transfer station by equal and opposite amounts.”
Claim 34, which depends from independent claim 33, also
requires “first and second carrier path guides with their
positions being moved by said at least a second electrical
motor to adjust the path lengths of the carrier station by
equal and opposite amounts before and after passing through
the transfer station.”
Nyfeler (Figure 3) teaches a machine for transferring
discrete areas of material, such as stamps 3, 3' (Fig. 1),
from a carrier or backing strip 5 onto a substrate 1 including
a sensor 37 for recording the movement of graduation markings
located on the substrate 1 representing the pitch MaT of the
