An easily-administered technology which demonstrates the intrinsic thermal conductivity improvement effect by addition of non-oxide system compound crystal phase (filler particles) and makes it possible to sufficiently raise the thermal conductivity of a glass-ceramics composite material is provided. In the glass phase which constitutes a glass-ceramics composite material, the quantity of aluminum oxide (AlO) component is increased under a condition where at least either of zinc oxide (ZnO) component or magnesium oxide (MgO) component exists in a predetermined quantity or more. Thereby, the unintended reaction between a non-oxide system compound crystal phase and a glass phase can be suppressed, and the intrinsic thermal conductivity improvement effect by addition of non-oxide system compound crystal phase (filler particles) can be demonstrated.

A glass-ceramics composite material suitable for a low-temperature firing use, which has high moisture resistance and thermal conductivity, is provided. In the glass-ceramics composite material which contains aluminum nitride (AlN) particles as a filler, even in a case where boron oxide (BO) is blended as a flux of a glass phase, by adjusting the composition of raw materials which forms the glass phase to a specific conditions to make the crystal phase which contains boron (B) precipitate at the time of firing of the glass-ceramics composite material.

Provided is a technique capable of allowing a person to perceive a fine relief on an object surface clearly. A tactile device of a tactile display slides above an object. The tactile device comprises three rods which are free to move up and down. Lower ends of the rods are in contact with a surface of the object. Upper ends of respective rods touch a palmar-side skin equivalent to positions of three joints of a first finger or a second finger. When the tactile device is slid, upper ends of respective rods move up and down in accordance with a surface relief of the object. In response to the movement of the tactile device, the three rods push three finger joint positions of the palmar-side skin with a stroke equal to a height of the relief.

In a method for manufacturing an electric motor, a cylindrical stator core circumferentially dividable into a plurality of core components is inserted into a circular internal surface of a motor housing. In this case, the motor housing is heated to be expanded thermally thereby enlarge circular internal surface thereof. Then, the stator core is fit over the external surface of an, insertion guide head of a generally cylindrical shape, and the insertion guide head is moved ward toward the thermally expanded motor housing secured on a fixed table to insert the stator re inside the motor housing. When the insertion guide head reaches a predetermined axial position inside the motor housing, a pressing mechanism incorporated in the insertion guide head is operated to press the core components on the circular internal surface of the motor using. Then, the motor housing is contracted as the temperature thereof goes down, whereby the core components are secured such that each of core components is pressed at lateral surfaces thereof against the next core components in the circumferential direction as a result of being pressed by the circular internal surface of the motor housing.
