A method for manufacturing a water resistant substrate comprises a first step of providing a substrate. The method proceeds with a step of populating at least one component onto the substrate. Next, the method includes a step of cleaning the substrate including the at least one component to form a cleaned substrate. Then, the method proceeds with depositing a multi-layered water resistant coating onto the cleaned substrate.

A mouth guard senses impact forces and determines if the forces exceed an impact threshold. If so, the mouth guard notifies the user of the risk for injury by haptic feedback, vibratory feedback, and/or audible feedback. The mouth guard system may also remotely communicate the status of risk and the potential injury. The mouth guard uses a local memory device to store impact thresholds based on personal biometric information obtained from the user and compares the sensed forces relative to those threshold values. The mouth guard and its electrical components on the printed circuit board are custom manufactured for the user such that the mouth guard provides a comfortable and reliable fit, while ensuring exceptional performance.

A process for conformally coating passive surface mount components soldered to a printed circuit substrate of a lidless flip-chip ball grid array package includes affixing a stiffener ring to the substrate before forming a conformal coating on the passive surface mount components. The stiffener ring is affixed to the substrate so that the plurality of passive surface mount components and the integrated circuit die are contained within an opening formed by the stiffener ring. After affixing the stiffener ring to the substrate, the conformal coating is formed on the passive surface mount components. The conformal coating extends over each of the passive surface mount components, around a periphery of each of the passive surface mount components, and under each of the passive surface mount components. A product made according to the process is also disclosed.
