Measurement of Direct CP Violation by NA48
The NA48 experiment at the CERN SPS aims to search for direct CP violation in
the system through the measurement of
with high accuracy. In 1999 the NA48 collaboration has published its first
measuremen based on 1997 data. A new result, based on 1998 and 1999 data, is
presented in this article. The result, combined with 1997 data, , contributes to the
precise determination of the size of direct CP violation.Comment: 8 pages, 6 figures (in eps) talk given at XXXI International

The NA62 RICH detector
The RICH detector of the NA62 experiment is proposed for pion - muon
separation and to contribute to the first level of the trigger. The design
parameters of the detector and the results of test beams performed at CERN in
2007 and 2009 with a prototype are presented.Comment: 3 pages, 2 figures, To appear in the proceedings of 12th Topical

The Wisconsin Consumer Act: When is a Transaction a Consumer Credit Transaction?
The Wisconsin Consumer Act applies to all consumer credit transactions. A consumer credit transaction is a defined term under the Wisconsin Consumer Act. It has six essential elements that have been carefully interpreted by Wisconsin courts. First, the transaction must be a consumer transaction that can be a cash or credit transaction. Second, the transaction must involve a consumer that is contracting for property, services, or credit for personal, family, or household purposes. Third, the transaction must be between a customer and a merchant. The Wisconsin Consumer Act definition of a merchant is significantly different than the UCC definition of a merchant. Fourth, the subject matter of the transaction must be real or personal property, services, or money. The definitions and interpretations of personal property and services subject to the Wisconsin Consumer Act are so broad as to be nearly limitless. Fifth, the transaction must involve a grant of credit by the merchant to the customer. Significant litigation has evolved over the meaning of that phrase. Sixth, the contract between the merchant and the customer must either permit the customer to pay in installments or permit the merchant to charge a finance charge. There are a number of factors that courts consider in determining whether the parties’ contract permits the customer to pay in installments. Although “finance charge” is a defined term, the courts have struggled when distinguishing a finance charge from an additional charge or a late payment fee
