Abstract: A deformed nail corrector 1A for correcting a deformed nail includes a first hook 2, a second hook 3, a tube-like flexible member 4 joined at one end to the first hook 2 and at the other end to the second hook 3, and a superelastic wire member 5 inserted in the flexible member 4, and the flexible member 4 is stretchable so as to allow the distance between the first hook 2 and second hook 3 to be changed.

Abstract: A deformed nail corrector for correcting a deformed nail is provided that includes: a first elastic wire which has one end portion thereof fixed to one edge of the deformed nail in a width direction; a second elastic wire which has one end portion thereof fixed to the other edge of the deformed nail in the width direction; and a binding means which binds the first and second elastic wires to each other and is slidable along the first and second elastic wires in a bound state. The first and second elastic wires are brought into a state where the first and second wires are deformed along the deformed nail with the first and second, elastic wires being in a corrector mounting state where the first and second elastic wires are bound to each other by the binding means.

Abstract: An information providing system includes a database having advertisement information and a bid amount of money of an advertisement stored correspondingly. Corresponding pieces of advertisement information are select from the database responding to a retrieval request from a terminal to decide an advertisement publishing order based upon the bid amount of money of each of these pieces of advertisement information. The advertisement publishing order is decided based upon a probability that is calculated from a ratio of the bid amount of money of each advertisement that becomes an object of display over a sum of bid amounts of money of advertisements that become an object of display. This allows the displaying order not to be uniquely decided with the bid amount of money.
