The aim of these studies was to obtain single phase cubic modification of Li7La3Zr2O12 by mechanical milling and annealing of La(OH)3, Li2CO3 and ZrO2 powder mixture. Fritsch P5 planetary ball mill, Rigaku MiniFlex II X-ray diffractometer, Setaram TG-DSC 1500 analyser and FEI Titan 80-300 transmission electron microscope were used for sample preparation and investigations. The applied milling and annealing parameters allowed to obtain the significant contribution of c-Li7La3Zr2O12 in the sample structure, reaching 90%. Thermal measurements revealed more complex reactions requiring further studies.

Purpose: We examined the reliability of measurements using a newly developed perioral muscle pressure measuring device with a lip piece in healthy adults. Methods: Subjects were 40 healthy men (25.8 years) with normal stomatognathic function. Perioral muscle pressure measuring device with a lip piece was used to measure upper lip, lower lip and tongue pressure, and a balloon-based measurement device was used to measure tongue and cheek pressure. Each measurement was taken twice with a 1-min interval between the two measurements. We determined intra-rater reliability by using the intra-class correlation coefficient as a test of relative reliability. As a test of absolute reliability, Bland–Altman analysis was used to assess systematic bias and the 95% confidence interval of the minimal detectable change was calculated. Additionally, the coefficient of variation was calculated. The Spearman–Brown formula was calculated the number of measurements needed to achieve a confidence coefficient ≥0.9. Each set of measurements was followed by a second set that were taken 1 week later. Results: All measurements showed high values of intra-class correlation coefficient. Upper lip, tongue, and cheek pressure can be determined based on a single measurement, while lower lip pressure requires averaging twice. No systematic bias was observed. The coefficients of variation of measurements were almost the same between the two devices. Conclusion: Measurements were highly reliable regardless of the type of perioral muscles. Our findings suggest that the method described in this study is useful as a quantitative chair side method for examining perioral muscle pressure.

Suzuki Motor Corporation (SMC) recognizes the importance of collaborative projects with Universities and how it contributes to technological development effectively. In spite of the world economical depression, several projects could get started this year leaded by SMC. As a researcher of SMC, Author takes charge of two collaborative projects and introduces these as typical examples of the most successful collaborations. The first is, "3D Measurement System for Crash Tested Car" at Shizuoka University (Japan) and Budapest Tech Polytechnical Institute (Hungary) from 2008; the second is, "High-Accuracy Stereo Vision System Based on Phase-Only Correlation (POC) and Its Application to metal Component Inspection" with Tohoku Univ. (Japan) 2003-2005. By these collaborations, the profound knowledge of universities has a lot of possibility to suits the technical needs of SMC.

Detection of delamination cracks in laminated composite structures is significant to improve reliability of these structures. For the detection of delamination cracks, real-time delamination monitoring is required. The composite laminates reinforced with graphite fiber can use the reinforcement graphite fiber itself as sensors for an electric potential method. The adoption of graphite fiber as sensors does not cause the strength reduction of smart structures induced by imbedding sensors into the structures. It was proved experimentally by the authors in their previous paper that the edge delamination crack was detected by using graphite/epoxy composites. In the present study, therefore, analytical investigations were conducted to investigate the effectiveness of the method for delamination cracks for detection of internal delamination cracks. As a result, this method was shown to be attractive for detection of internal delamination cracks, and the crack size, position and stacking sequences have a large impact on the change of electric resistance.
