- singleton: Meyers and classic versions, precluding object copying,
  specifying behavior at shutdown

- abstract factory: factory method, abstract vs. concrete
  factories/products

- prototype: clone

  method

- state: context, state abstract/concrete

- decorator: decoration, component

- observer: subject, observer, subscribing, registry,
  message (notification)

- chain of responsibility: handler

- strategy: strategy, context

- composite: component, leaf, collection

- memento: originator, memento, caretaker
