Abstract: A container includes a housing that defines an interior region. Inside the interior region is a storage unit and a dispensing device. The dispensing device can receive a composition and spray or distribute the composition as desired. The dispensing device is refillable with more of the composition. The storage unit defines a chamber or interior volume in which more of the composition can be located. When the dispensing device needs to be refilled, the dispensing device can be positioned proximate to a release mechanism coupled to the storage unit, which controls how much of the composition exits the storage unit. The release mechanism can be a spigot-like structure that is manipulated by a user to release composition from the storage unit and refill the dispensing device.

Abstract: This application provides an inter-frequency measurement resource and/or time determining method and an apparatus. When a length of each idle time domain resource is greater than or equal to a first threshold, or when a cycle of discontinuous reception configured by a network device is greater than or equal to a second threshold, a terminal device uses a part of the idle time domain resource as a first resource that is in the idle time domain resource and that can be used to perform inter-frequency measurement. The terminal device determines, based on the first resource in each idle time domain resource, a resource and/or time used to perform the inter-frequency measurement.
