Abstract: An engine fuel control system includes a metering valve to control fuel flow between the supply and delivery line with a pressure drop control regulating the pressure across the valve and maintain a substantially constant pressure across the valve. The fuel control system includes a backup system controllable by a pullback signal to operate the pressure control, thus increasing the pullback signal reducing the fuel flow between the supply and delivery line. The fuel control system detects a start of an engine overthrust event, and when the upward runaway is caused by the arrested overthrust event. The fuel control system's controller which (i) determines the overthrust detection, the pullback signal increase rate and the pullback signal offset, (ii) sends the pullback signal to the backup system at the rate of increase, and (iii), reduces the pullback signal to the backup system when the upward runaway is arrested by the offset.

Abstract: A portable electronic device carrier (100) includes a base (105) having a resting portion (110) which slidably receives an electronic device (200) for securing the electronic device in a stored position. The base further includes a projection (120) extending from the base and positioned to engage the electronic device where the projection selectively alters the state of the electronic device when the electronic device is removed from the stored position along a first path (300) and fails to alter the state of the electronic device when the electronic device is removed along a second path (400).
