The signal array region has a width and circumscribes a power core region and has signal vias connected to respective signal ball pads, and ground vias connected to respective ground ball pads within the signal array region that have an associated ball pad pitch. The PCB also has an inner current power layer. The signal and ground vias are arranged on the component layer in a pattern and extend into the inner current layer.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: Superconducting integrated circuit layouts are proofed against the detrimental effects of stray flux by designing and fabricating them to have one or more ground planes patterned in the x-y plane with a regular grid of low-aspect-ratio flux-trapping voids. The ground plane(s) can be globally patterned with such voids and thousands or more superconducting circuit devices and wires can thereafter be laid out so as not to intersect or come so close to the voids that the trapped flux would induce supercurrents in them, thus preventing undesirable coupling of flux into circuit elements. Sandwiching a wire layer between patterned ground planes permits wires to be laid out even closer to the voids. Voids of successively smaller maximum dimension can be concentrically stacked in pyramidal fashion in multiple ground plane layers having different superconductor transition temperatures, increasing the x-y area available for device placement and wire-up.
