Abstract: A metered dose inhaler canister combination includes a canister constructed for containing a pharmaceutical composition, the canister having a canister base, a side wall extending from the canister base, an open end distal from the base and a first cooperating formation arranged at the open end and extending generally distally from the canister base; a shroud having a shroud base and a side wall extending from the shroud base to a waist, the base and side wall defining a vessel constructed to receive the canister therein, the waist defining an aperture of constricted width constructed to receive the canister therethrough, and a second cooperating formation extending generally distally from the waist, wherein the respective first and second cooperating formations adopt an engaged condition in which the canister is retained within the shroud.

Abstract: A unified mechanism for storing device, application, and service state, as well as a rich notification brokerage architecture includes a notification broker. Clients register with the notification broker to receive notifications for changes to state properties. When a registered state property changes, a notification broker determines which clients to notify of the state change and provides the client with a notification regarding the change. Clients may be notified whenever a state changes, when a state change meets a predetermined condition, or based on a schedule. An application may also be launched in response to a state change. An application programming interface (API) is provided that provides a unified way of accessing state change information across different components within the device.
