    摘要: A cache coherence management system includes: a set of directories distributed between nodes of a network for interconnecting processors including cache memories, each directory including a correspondence table between cache lines and information fields on the cache lines; and a mechanism updating the directories by adding, modifying, or deleting cache lines in the correspondence tables. In each correspondence table and for each cache line identified, at least one field is provided for indicating a possible blocking of a transaction relative to the cache line considered, when the blocking occurs in the node associated with the correspondence table considered. The system further includes a mechanism detecting fields indicating a transaction blocking and restarting each transaction detected as blocked from the node in which it is indicated as blocked.

    摘要: The invention relates to a receptacle for storage of an object, containing a proximity sensor capable of detecting an action by a user close to or in contact with a surface of the receptacle, a transducer and a control circuit comprising an input coupled to the proximity sensor and an output connected to the transducer, the control circuit being configured to generate a control signal to be sent to the transducer when a user action is detected by the proximity sensor, characterized in that it also comprises an unpacking detector coupled to the control circuit and in that the control circuit is also configured to changeover from a standby mode during which it periodically awakens to query the unpacking detector, to a detection mode during which it periodically checks the state of its input coupled to the proximity sensor, after the unpacking detector has detected removal of the receptacle from a packaging.
