Abstract: The invention relates to a position and/or speed sensor including a mobile target (2) with at least one tooth, a first permanent magnet (5), at least one second permanent magnet (11), and a probe (4) sensitive to the direction and intensity of a magnetic induction, and placed along an axis OZ such that when there is no adjacent tooth, the magnetic induction created by the first magnet passes through the probe along a direction opposite to the direction of magnetization. Magnetic inductions created by the permanent magnets (5, 11) have approximately equal values but in opposite directions, and in the presence of an adjacent tooth, the absolute value of the variation of the magnetic induction detected by the probe (4) is greater than a trip threshold.

Abstract: A method for carrying out a connection migration in a multicomputing architecture (cluster), from a first node which is called a primary node or operation node, including a first computer of the cluster on which an initial software application is run, towards at lest one secondary node including another computer of the cluster. The method implements a virtual network address which is carried by the first computer and transferred to the other computer, the virtual network address being embodied in the form of a dialogue link between the cluster and client computers connected thereto and associated with the software application. The associated connections can, for example be associated with a software application which is replicated in another computer in such a way that the initial application service is switched to the replica thereof.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for replicating a software application in a multi-computer architecture (cluster). The software application is executed on a first computer of the the cluster, which represents a primary or operation node, and is replicated on at least one other computer of the cluster, which represents a secondary node, including replication of the resources associated with the software application. The method includes streamlined updating of the replicated resources via a dynamic introspection mechanism supplying the structure of the application that is to be replicated and the dynamic graph of the implemented resources and dependencies.
