The invention is a suspension system, typically for use between a cab and a truck frame, includes a strut module having a strut and an air spring, and a control module, connected to a source of pressurized air, for sensing a distance between the cab and truck frame and selectively pressurizing the air spring in response to changes in that distance. Preferably, the strut is a McPherson-type strut and the air spring encloses at least a portion of the strut to provide a compact assembly and includes a three point connection to the cab and frame to resist relative lateral movement between the cab and frame. The strut also preferably is a magnetorheological-type damper so that the control module can adjust the damping characteristics of the strut to optimize rider comfort.

Memory circuitry 2 includes a memory cell 12 coupled to a plurality of bit line pairs 18, 24 providing multiple access ports. Write boost circuitry 36 serves to increase a write voltage applied to write a data value into the memory cell during at least a boost period of a write access. Collision detection circuitry 10 detects when the write access at least partially overlaps in time with a read access. If a collision is detected, then write assist circuitry serves to drive the bit line pair of the detected read access with a write assist voltage difference having the same polarity as the write voltage and a magnitude less than the write voltage with the boost voltage applied. The write assist circuitry drives the bit line pair of the colliding read independently of the write boost circuitry applying the boost voltage such that the boost voltage is undiminished by the action of the write assist circuitry.

A stabilized course sand bunker and method of making the same is disclosed. The soil making up the bunker is contoured and stabilized so that it is in the form of a pit having a downward angularly extending keyway surrounding the opening at the top edge of the pit. A semi-solid precursor material is applied over the pit and keyway and allowed to cure to form a barrier liner having a flanged anchoring portion for location under some additional soil and turf grass. Bunker sand is disposed over the barrier liner. The barrier liner when cured enables water in the bunker to pass through it, is sufficient flexible to dampen and absorb the impact of a golf ball strike, all the while stabilizing and protecting the edge of the bunker where the turf grass meets the sand in the bunker.
