A particle removal apparatus for removing particles from a chamber of a plasma processing apparatus, wherein the chamber is connected to a gas exhaust port and a plasma of a processing gas is generated in the chamber to plasma process a substrate to be processed, includes a particle charging control member for positively charging particles generated within the chamber by positive ions of an ion sheath region formed in a region other than the vicinity of the substrate to be processed, wherein positively charged particles are discharged from the chamber via the gas exhaust port. Therefore, there is no plasma disturbance or metal contamination, and thus can be applied to a practical use.

An electrophoretic display panel includes a first substrate, a second substrate, a partition wall, first electrodes, a second electrode, a dispersant, positively-charged particles, negatively-charged particles, weakly-charged particles, switching thin film transistors, scanning lines, and signal lines. Pixel spaces are surrounded by the partition wall, the first substrate and the second substrate. Two of the first electrodes are formed on the first substrate in each pixel. The second electrode facing the first electrodes is formed on the second substrate. The dispersant with the positively-charged particles, the negatively-charged particles, and weakly-charged particles is contained in the pixel spaces. The switching thin film transistors are connected to the first electrode, and the signal line. The scanning lines supply scanning signals to gate electrodes of the switching thin film transistors. The signal lines input a data signal to the switching thin film transistors.

The invention comprises a method and apparatus for imaging a tumor with X-rays while, simultaneously or alternatingly, treating or imaging the tumor with positively charged particles. An X-ray imaging system, such as one or two sets of a cone beam X-ray source coupled to an X-ray detector, is rotatable about a first axis and a patient. The X-ray imaging system is positioned off axis a path of charged particles delivered through an exit port of a nozzle system from a synchrotron and does not block a path of the positively charged particles from the exit nozzle to the patient or an imaging path from the patient to a scintillation detector. Fiducial indicators are used to confirm an unobstructed path of the positively charged particles in a treatment room comprising many movable elements, such as the X-ray imaging system and a patient positioning system / couch.
