Engine control assemblies for use with internal combustion engines, engines having such assemblies, and methods for operating such engines and assemblies are disclosed. The backing includes end portions configured to secure opposite edges of the device, and a first coupling component spaced apart from the end portions of the backing. The water inert polymer may be a polymer such as an emulsion polymer or a latex polymer. The second side of the spacer wafer is background to create a second subassembly, which is secured to a dicing tape with the backgrinding tape layer exposed. In one form of penetration control a sleeve is used against which the syringe or related parts contact. The power laminate may be electrically coupled to the integrated circuit, thereby enabling it to provide power to the integrated circuit.
