The present invention relates to a fuel control system for use in conjunction with a gas turbine engine. In one illustrative embodiment, the computer implemented method receives text input characters and calculates a ratio-measure for each pair of characters in the input characters. A slit is defined to separate the tip diameter adjuster in the lengthwise direction thereof. The loading on the multiple split bit line is reduced, and the corresponding read speed of the memory array is enhanced over the prior art. The method further includes sufficiently compacting the fluff into a thermoplastic state sufficient for forming the thermoplastic pre-preg sheet. In a first section corresponding to the position where the second housing is folded onto the first housing, the frictional projections contact the internal wall of the hinge housing.
