Canal Flow Rate Measurement Guidelines – Itrc 2005: Hydroacoustic Meters, Charles M. Burt, Stuart Styles
Canal Flow Rate Measurement Guidelines – Itrc 2005: Hydroacoustic Meters, Charles M. Burt, Stuart Styles
BioResource and Agricultural Engineering
A Hydroacoustic flow meter provides remote velocity sampling and integrated flow measurement based on the physical principle called the Doppler shift. The sensors can either project a continuous or pulsed beam of acoustic signals at angles above the horizontal position of the sensor. Flow velocity is calculated by averaging the measured variations in sound frequency reflected back from particles in the water. Depth is measured with a ceramic-based pressure transducer integrally mounted in a surface mount velocity sensor and the device calculates the flow rate.

BioResource and Agricultural Engineering
Tulare Irrigation District (TID) is located on the east side of the Central San Joaquin Valley just south of Visalia, CA. The district receives water from Lake Kaweah through Terminus Dam as well as from the Friant-Kern Canal. TID is the single largest partner in the Kaweah River Power Authority (KRPA), which operates Terminus Dam and regulates the discharge from Lake Kaweah.

Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering
The paper describes the design for manufacturability of a prototype product as part of a manufacturing engineering capstone course. The product chosen was a vertically launched unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)—the “Flying Eye.” The Flying Eye is an autonomous parafoil surveillance platform quipped with sensors, controllers, mechanical components, and software. Once the autonomous UAV is deployed, it is designed to follow a predetermined flight path down to the ground. The design effort of the prototype device took place over a three-year period as a collaborative effort between the Aerospace Engineering and Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering departments at California Polytechnic State University. …

There is an increasing demand for replacing tin-lead (Sn/Pb) solders with lead-free solders in the electronics industry due to health and environmental concerns. The European Union recently passed a law to ban the use of lead in electronic products. The ban will go into effect in July of 2006. The Japanese electronics industry has worked to eliminate lead from consumer electronic products for several years. Although currently there are no specific regulations banning lead in electronics devices in the United States, many companies and consortiums are working on lead-free solder initiatives including Intel, Motorola, Agilent Technologies, General Electric, Boeing, NEMI …

Machine Vision Course For Manufacturing Engineering Undergraduate Students, Jose Macedo, Kurt Colvin, Daniel Waldorf
Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering
A 10-week course was designed with funding from the Society of Manufacturing Engineers (SME) and input from industry representatives, to offer upper division engineering students a course on advanced automation. The objective was to provide engineering students theoretical and hands-on practical experience with automation technologies that will be of prime importance over the next decade: data acquisition and instrumentation, machine vision and motion control. This paper describes the machine vision portion of that class. It describes important concepts, hands-on equipment, and labs developed for this course, as well as examples of student projects from Spring Quarter, 2004. The course and …
