Abstract: A suspension device for a springy suspension of a mass body relative to an understructure, for instance suspension of a driver cabin of a truck relative to a vehicle chassis. The suspension device comprises a spring-/damping configuration, located between the mass body and the understructure, for the damping shock and/or vibration and comprising a Watt linkage configuration with two parallel positioned Watt linkages. A length of at least one of the linkage arms, of the Watt linkage, is adjustable by an actuator. The suspension device is low-maintenance, free of play, and is suitable for determining of the levels of freedom of motion, for instance of a driver cabin, as well as for damping or eliminating unwanted movement of the driver cabin. At the same time, roll motions of the driver cabin, with respect to the understructure or the chassis, can be actively prevented.

Abstract: A method of operating an integrated circuit involves supplying an instruction portion of a command to the integrated circuit to specify an operation to be performed by the integrated circuit. At least some types of commands also include an attributes portion that provides additional information about the operation to be performed. The attributes portion of the command is supplied to the integrated circuit with a delay relative to the instruction portion of the command. The integrated circuit selectively enables circuitry for processing the attributes portion if the integrated circuit determines from the received instruction portion that the command also includes an attributes portion. The delay between the two portions of the command provides sufficient time for the integrated circuit to enable the attributes processing circuitry, which, in a default state, can be disabled during an active mode of the integrated circuit to save power.
