In an electrically-actuated throttle device for a general-purpose engine, supply of current to the throttle motor and choke motor for moving the throttle valve and choke valve is started when cranking is detected after activation (power-up) of the electronic control unit (ECU). In other words, supply of current is not started simultaneously with activation of the ECU but is delayed until cranking is detected. Owing to this configuration, no power of the battery is consumed unnecessarily between power-up and starting of the engine. Decrease in the power supplied to the starter motor is therefore prevented, thereby improving the starting performance of the engine. In addition, even if starting of the engine is not commenced after power-up, the battery is not likely to be excessively discharged.

A method for operating a wind turbine includes determining a current temperature of a rotor blade and activating and deactivating a rotor blade heating device in dependence upon the determined current temperature.

A first current flowing through a first resistance is determined by a series connection between a first resistance and a transistor which is short circuited between the gate and the drain. Further, a second current flowing through a second resistance is determined by a series connection between a resistance and two or more transistors each having a short circuit between the gate and the drain. By drawing the second current from below the first resistance, a current fed through a reference transistor is established to be equal to (the first current)−(the second current). The second current starts flowing when the source voltage is equal to or greater than the summed values of the voltage drops between the gate and the source of the two or more transistors. Therefore, the second current becomes zero when the source voltage is lower than a predetermined value. In this manner, a sufficient amount of current is output when the source voltage is relatively low, and the constant current output when the source voltage is high can be controlled so as not to be unnecessarily large.
