Abstract: Techniques for providing a streak game are described. A streak wager on a streak game is received and a representation of the streak wager is displayed. The streak game is made up of a number of consecutive main games and a selected outcome for each main game. An outcome of a main game is received. Whether the received outcome is the same as the selected outcome for the main game associated with the streak game is determined. The number of received consecutive outcomes that are the same as the selected outcomes for the main game associated with the streak game is tracked. If more than one streak game is in play at the same time, the streak games are each individually tracked. A new streak wager can be placed at any time, such that one streak wager need not be completed before a new streak wager is received.

Abstract: Disclosed is a transmission power control method
for comparing the error rate of receive data and a
target error rate in an apparatus on the receiving side,
controlling target SIR (performing outer-loop control)
and controlling transmission power on the transmitting
side in such a manner that measured SIR will agree with
the target SIR. In outer-loop control, it is
determined whether an interval is an interval in which
data is being transmitted and (1) in an interval in
which data is being transmitted, the target SIR is
controlled upon comparing the error rate of receive
data after decoding and the target error rate, and (2)
in an interval in which data is not being transmitted,
the target SIR is controlled upon measuring error rate
of a demodulated pilot or of a synchronous word and
comparing the measured error rate of the pilot and a
target error rate of the pilot.

Abstract: A method and a system is disclosed for controlling a sleep mode in
broadband wireless access communication system. The subscriber terminals are
managed by grouping the subscriber terminals in a broadband wireless access
communication system, so an efficiency for controlling the sleep mode of the
broadband wireless access communication system may increase. A further
advantage is provided that each point of time for transmitting a paging message of
each group is established differently from each other within a unit time slot for
controlling the sleep mode, such that subscriber terminals are managed according to
groups. Another advantage is provided that the base station can previously find
subscriber terminals awaking at each point of time for transmission the paging
message of each other from among subscriber terminals having the sleep mode, so an
efficiency for controlling the sleep mode of the broadband wireless access
communication system may increase.

Abstract: Disclosed is a solid state dye-sensitized solar cell
employing a composite polymer electrolyte, which includes a
photoelectrode, a counter electrode, and an electrolyte
interposed between the photoelectrode and counter electrode.
The electrolyte includes at least one of a middle molecular

significantly increasing energy conversion efficiency.
Accordingly, the dye-sensitized solar cell assures high
energy conversion efficiency without an electrolyte leak,
