ABSTRACT:
A map maker is disclosed in which a physical map is produced by depositing fluid entrained entities, such as cotton fibers, trash and neps, in a pattern on a surface, such as a nylon mesh surface. Each position in the pattern is uniquely associated with data produced by another monitor to provide topological mapping between the data event map and the physical map. In one embodiment, a drive system and computer are used to control the position of a surface relative to a nozzle that deposits the entities on the surface and relative to a camera that scans the map formed on the surface. In the preferred embodiment, the map is planar, but an alternate cylindrical map is shown. Also, an embodiment is shown in which a map maker is incorporated into a carding machine.
