Abstract: Disclosed is a French artificial nail including an artificial nail body and a French part. The artificial nail body includes a cuticle edge facing the root of a fingernail and a free edge extending towards the tip of the fingernail and is curved downward toward both lateral sides thereof to form a curved surface. The French part is formed on the upper surface of the free edge of the artificial nail body. The artificial nail body is attached to a user's fingernail or toenail through glue and has a lower modulus than the French part. This flexibility of the artificial nail body prevents the formation of bubbles, the incidence of pain and the occurrence of pop-off resulting from glue shrinkage, contributing to an improvement in the wearability and reliability of the final product.

Abstract: A method of collecting peer-to-peer (P2P)-based content sending/reception information is disclosed herein. In the method of collecting P2P-based content sending/reception information, a first peer accesses a second peer, and exchanges buffer maps with the second peer. The first peer requests the second peer to send a piece of content not owned by the first peer. When the reception of the piece of the content is completed, the first peer generates a receipt message and then signs the receipt message. The first peer sends the signed receipt message to the second peer. The second peer signs the signed receipt message again. The second peer sends the dually signed receipt message to a server.
