A first trench and a second trench having width wider than the first trench are simultaneously formed in a main surface area of a semiconductor substrate. The width of an opening portion of the first trench is made narrower by forming a first insulating film on the main surface of the semiconductor substrate and in the first and second trenches. A second insulating film is formed on the first insulating film by use of a high-density plasma-CVD method to form a void in the first trench while covering the opening portion of the first trench, and the second trench is filled with the second insulating film. Then, part of the second insulating film which covers the opening portion is removed by anisotropic etching and the void is filled with an insulating film having fluidity at the film formation time.

A force-sensing catheter for diagnosing or treating the vessels found within a body or body space includes a center strut that is bonded, preferably thermally, along its longitudinal axis with the thermoplastic tubular member within which it is housed. The tubular member preferably has three layers: an inner layer, a braided layer and an outer layer. One or more semiconductor or metallic foil strain gages are affixed to the center strut in order to provide a measure of the bending and torsional forces on the distal tip of the catheter. Temperature compensation is achieved by having a temperature sensor near the strain gages and calibrating the catheter over a range of temperatures.

A method of displaying and navigating information using a hierarchical, spring loaded DHTML menu system that adjusts to fit the boundaries of a resizable, container (FIG. 1). A set of standard HTML table row elements, having a hierachical dependency (11), is consistently displayed as a web-page, under reasonable resizing. This is done using a strut row that produces the largest width requirement when the table structure is resizing to occupy a small width. Only the current row elements and the strut element are required in calculating table resizing to ensure that whichever data elements are displayed when a web-page resizing occurs, the browser auto-layout algorithm calculations will result in a resize attributes that enables all other row elements of that menu to be accommodated by the newly determined table width. As the row elements may themselves be table structures, nested menus of information may be displayed and navigated (12).

An automatic groove-tracing welding system is capable of carrying out a welding operation, particularly, a welding operation involving weaving, without requiring monitoring even if conditions of a groove is different from design conditions of the groove. An image processor 3 receives an image signal representing an image of a weld zone 52 including the tip of a welding wire from a camera head 2 provided with a CCD camera, processes the image of the weld zone 52 to determine the position of a groove, calculates the positional relation of the groove with a welding torch 1, and sends a position correction for correcting the position of the welding torch 1 so that the welding path of the tip of the welding torch 1 may coincide with a predetermined middle part in the groove to a robot controller 43 for controlling a welding robot. When the automatic groove-tracing welding system performs a welding operation involving weaving, the image processor 3 receives a weaving phase signal representing phases of weaving from the robot controller 43, calculates the positional relation between the groove and the welding torch on the basis of the phase of weaving, and sends a weaving width correction signal to the robot controller 43.
