Abstract: A charging-port control device for an electric vehicle includes a charging port engaged with a charging connector, a locking mechanism configured to limit release of an engagement state between the charging connector and the charging port, and a lock state control unit configured to control the locking mechanism to a lock state or an unlock state. The lock state control unit includes a first mode for controlling the locking mechanism to the lock state only when a charge request is being outputted from a vehicle side and a third mode for maintaining a full-time unlock state.

Abstract: An apparatus for extracting the pulp from citrus fruits for the preparation of a fruit drink containing separate juice vesicles or sacs of the pulp comprises a plurality of clamps mounted on the periphery of a rotary drum to hold the halves of the fruits each divided into two across the core, with the cut surfaces exposed, a rotating shaft located opposite to one of the clamps in gripping position and substantially aligned to the core of each clamped half of the fruits for rotation about the common axis, and a nozzle having an opening provided radially with respect to the core of each halved fruit and attached to the end of the rotating shaft, whereby the pulp in the form of separate juice sacs is forced out of the halves by a jet of fluid from the nozzle.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus for processing citrus fruits into a drink, which is the juice of the fruits containing separate juice vesicles, or sacs, of the pulp, by cutting the fruits into pieces and directing jets of a fluid against the cut surfaces, thereby separating and forcing the pulp in the form of separate sacs away from the peel and segmental membrane of the fruit pieces.
