measurement device 50 can be arranged as a filament that includes the measurement device 50 and any associated electronics as either the inner or outer portion of a coaxially formed bi component filament or any other type of high performance cable in this manner one of skill in the art will recognize that any number of measurement devices 50 can be woven into and incorporated as part of reinforcing structure 33 at any location or in any number of locations within the confines of reinforcing structure 33 yet still if measurement device 50 is provided as a mems or nems discussed supra it is believed that one of skill in the art could incorporate such a mems or nems sensor s into the resin used to form the framework 32 in this way a significant number of measurement devices 50 can be incorporated across the papermaking belt 10 in the cd over its length in the md and combinations thereof measurement devices 50 can be disposed collinearly sinusoidally randomly or in any fashion across the cd md and combinations thereof the use of such mems and or nems sensors can significantly reduce any effects and or impact of disposing a measurement device 50 into a papermaking belt 10 by reducing the amount of physical effort necessary to incorporate a measurement device 50 into the reinforcing structure 33 or the framework 32.
