Abstract
Abstract An active Wien-Robinson suppression filter connected as electrical filter in the electric transmission line from a drive-pedal potentiometer of a motor vehicle to the adjusting member of the throttle valve of the internal combustion engine; the jerking of the motor vehicle which otherwise occurs frequently, can be avoided with the use of such a filter.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
110 words
A circuit arrangement for the actuation of a throttle valve of a motor vehicle internal combustion engine having a drive pedal, whose rotary position is converted into a corresponding voltage of a potentiometer connected therewith, said voltage being transmitted by way of a control apparatus to an electrical adjusting member for the actuation of the throttle valve, characterized by further means for effectively eliminating jerking of the motor vehicle within a predetermined frequency range, wherein the further means is an active Wien-Robinson suppression filter whose resonant frequency is tuned to the oscillating frequencies to be suppressed of about 2 to 3 hertz connected between the potentiometer and the control apparatus.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
110 words
A circuit arrangement for the actuation of a throttle valve of a motor vehicle internal combustion engine having a drive pedal, whose rotary position is converted into a corresponding voltage of a potentiometer connected therewith, said voltage being transmitted by way of a control apparatus to an electrical adjusting member for the actuation of the throttle valve, characterized by further means for effectively eliminating jerking of the motor vehicle within a predetermined frequency range, wherein the further means is an active Wien-Robinson suppression filter whose resonant frequency is tuned to the oscillating frequencies to be suppressed of about 2 to 3 hertz connected between the potentiometer and the control apparatus.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
23 words
A circuit arrangement according to claim 1, characterized in that the oscillating frequency to which the filter is tuned is approximately 2.6 hertz.
