Wire Sorting Machine

The Wire Sorting Machine project group is working with sponsor Wizard Manufacturing Inc. to design

and build a semi-automated machine to gather, orient, and dispense walnut huller wires for packaging.

Wizard’s current wire production process requires costly manual labor to gather the wires as they are

made and place them on a sorting rack for weighing and packaging. Our machine will automate this

process as the newly produced wires are fed into it and subsequently oriented via a hooked wheel

system. The correctly oriented wires are then fed onto a rack system that will automatically weigh out

the operator-selected weight and evenly distribute them for packaging. At this point, the user only needs

to remove the full racks and slide the wires into boxes for shipping. This process is less labor intensive

which will increase walnut huller wire production efficiency for Wizard Manufacturing. Increasing

Blank Transfer Process

The Blank Transfer Process project is sponsored by the US Mint in San Francisco. Throughout the year,

the SF Mint produces up to 30 million coins ranging from pennies to golden dollars. They receive the

blanks in extremely large metal containers each weighing 1,800 kilograms. These bins need to be broken

down into more manageable lot sizes of 10 kilograms (+/- 2kg). Currently, this process is 100% manual

where the material handlers use a large scoop to transfer blanks into the smaller trays. Throughout the

year, the amount of manual labor and all safety aspects attached to that, has taken its toll not only to the

safety of the employees, but an increased liability of on-the-job injuries to the Mint. Our task was to

design, build, and test a process which will assist, if not totally eliminate, the amount of manual labor

needed to perform this task. Our design solution is a Vac-Hopper System. The Vac-Hopper System

collects the blanks from the large bin weighs them and distributes them into a smaller bin. The Vac-

Coin Capsule Opener



The coin capsule opener machine senior project is sponsor by the U.S. Mint in San Francisco. Anywhere

from 50,000 to 150,000 coin capsules are returned to the U.S. Mint each year. These coin capsules then

must be opened for reuse or recycle. The current opening method utilized at the U.S. Mint is tedious,

dangerous and inefficient which imposts a problem that must be solved. After countless hours of

developing, brainstorming and visiting the U.S. Mint to observe the current process; the Jury-Rigged

Lever and the heavy duty hole puncher. It was concluded that the best way to solve the problem at hand

is to send the coin capsules through two blades, one on each side, via actuator to separate the top half

from the bottom half. The top half will be sorted aside while the bottom half, containing the coin, will

Collegiate Wind Competition

While interdisciplinary teams invite rich learning opportunities, collaborating with others from non-

technical backgrounds to develop a cohesive product has presented some of the team’s most prominent

challenges. As part of a larger interdisciplinary competition team comprised of business and engineering

students, this design team is responsible for designing and building a scale model prototype of a unique,

off-grid wind-driven power system based on market research. This multi-faceted task calls for a safe,

reliable, effective turbine and a load system that represents a market need and can match and visually

display the power being generated. The prototype is judged based on its ability to produce power at low

and moderate wind speeds, control power output and rotor speed at high wind speeds, shut down

safely, and operate for extended periods under erratic winds. The prototype solution features an upwind,

horizontal-axis wind turbine equipped with a wind lens. Closed-loop feedback control manages a

dynamic load to optimize power output and a relay network adjusts circuit resistance to control rotor

Dust Abatement Project

The Dust Abatement Capstone project has been initiated to address the problem of dust creation during

North State Hulling’s Fall-season operations. North State Hulling is a Chico-based almond hulling

operation located on west 5th street. The transportation of freshly-harvested almonds to various

locations within the North State property generates a substantial quantity of airborne dust which then

migrates into surrounding residential neighborhoods. A solution was needed to mitigate this rogue dust.

The Dust Abatement team has designed a water-based dust suppression system which will integrate with

North State Hulling’s existing processes with minimal cost, interruption, or complexity. Specially sized

nozzles installed on North State Hulling trailers will disperse water during key processes which will

Automated Strike Jamb Router

The sponsor of this project, Norfield Industries, is a company focused on developing new and innovative

machinery for the pre-hung door industry. Norfield currently markets a product called the "250MX Strike

Jamb Router." This machine requires an operator to follow a steel template in order to route the correct

mortise pocket pattern in a door jamb. The major problems with the current machine are the strain it

can put on the operator, and the inconvenience of steel templates. There are currently hundreds of

different templates available, and with each new door pattern that a company may require, Norfield

must produce a new template and ship it to their customers. This project aims to solve these issues. In

order to make the machine less strenuous on the operator, the new design will automate the routing

process by using a three axis system of motion that is driven by stepper motors. The templates will be

Proximal Aorta Pressure and Flow Controlfor Silicone Aortic Models

The Proximal Aorta Pressure and Flow Control project is sponsored by Medtronic, an international

biomedical company. Medtronic’s design problem is the need for a blood flow simulation system for use

in testing medical equipment. The system must accurately simulate blood flow by pumping water

through a silicone model of an aorta. The design solution created for this purpose utilizes a servo-motor

pump and pinch valve to control the flow and pressure of water passing through the aorta model.

Readings from a pressure transducer and flow sensor are graphically presented on a computer program

which also calculates how the pump and valve are actuated. The computer interface is employed by the

user to specify the custom pressure and flow waveform to be simulated as well. This design solution is

Rice Tote Cleaning Fixture



Lundberg Family Farms requires a device that will clean a rice tote, a large sack that can carry thousands

of pounds of rice. The main problem Lundberg has with the current cleaning method is the

unpredictable use of compressed air and the amount of manual labor the process requires. The project

team’s solution is to automate the process. The solution will impact the bag from the outside while

supplying a forced air current to inflate the bag and expel the debris to the outside. A carwash style

beater using a thick polyester material known as mule tape will be used to impact the bag. This will knock

the debris off the inside wall of the tote, where a high CFM fan blows it outside. In doing so, the debris in

Cold Water Heat Exchange for Air Conditioning System



The Butte County office of General Services (GS) oversees all facility maintenance and construction

projects. General Services is looking to explore the feasibility of using the Thermalito Forebay diversion

canal water as a means of cooling the newly proposed jail. Located in Oroville, CA off Highway 70, the

new jail facility would be located adjacent to the canal.

The project goal is to determine whether using the canal water is a viable solution to cooling the

proposed facility. The theoretical heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system must return all

siphoned diversion canal water back to canal.

The proposed solution is to implement a heat exchange between the canal water and the condenser’s (of

the HVAC system) hot water. This increases the COP of the Chiller, and improves the HVAC system’s

efficiency. Channeling water from the canal to the heat exchanger requires extra pumping costs. A cost-

benefit analysis is performed to decide whether this system is viable compared to a traditional water

cooling tower, common in most industrial HVAC systems.

hardware and software layer of the protocol such as services, device discovery, and network topologies.

To receive the most efficient performance from a Photovoltaic (PV) Solar Panel one must use a

Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) system. The data that will be transmitted over the Bluetooth LE

protocol will range from valuable information of the algorithm used to track the MPP, system efficiency,

current drawn by a load, to real-time electrical performance values such as voltage/current/power. This

project will be hardware and software intensive. Design and implementation of a DC-DC Converter and

PWM Charge Controller circuits will be needed. Software wise, design and implementation of a MPPT

Smart Duck Decoy

This project will bring an innovative touch to the modern concepts of avian attraction. The goal of the

project is to remove stagnant motion in a decoy spread using a wireless based communication system.

The system will allow multiple decoys to track the movement of each other and react based off of certain

programs set by the user. Each decoy will run for an allotted time and then read the next instructions

from a command unit, this design will allow various patterns and spreads that will bring life to a decoy

Smart Outlet

This will be an in wall self-monitoring outlet that is being controlled and monitored by a ARM Core

microcontroller. This prototype will be used to demonstrate the features of the product. The outlet will

keep track of the power usage over a desired period of time such as watts per hour, watts per minute, or

watts per day. The gathered information will be gathered on a main server and a home network. The

server will then post the information onto a website that can be accessed from any place with an

internet connection. The main server in this case will be set up using a Raspberry Pi running on a Linux

Smart White Board

This product is designed to be an add-on module for any existing dry-erase whiteboards. Using infrared

cameras and LEDs, the module is able to record writing and drawings on the whiteboard surface. The

cameras are directly mounted to the side and bottom of the whiteboard; this creates a grid to allow

tracking of the user’s pen as they write or draw. The embedded system saves the recordings as bitmaps

and broadcasts the images on a local Wi-Fi network. Custom marker casings know when the user is

Weather Monitor

This monitor’s job is to give accurate and precise readings of the weather around you. It will give you

humidity levels, temperature readings, barometric pressure and the light intensity directed at it. The

current readings will be stored and displayed on digital display for the user. If you want more logging, it

will be linked with a webs server to give you more detailed readings. As a portable device, to will have

compacted casing to protect it from the environment, making it last longer for the user.

Wireless Power Transfer

The following is a research project to evaluate the efficiency of transferring power wirelessly. This project

will use two inductor coils. One coil acts as a transmitter while the other coil acts as a receiver. The

inductor coil will be ministered by a circuit to allow wireless power transfer to take place. The power

transfer will be confirmed by the attachment of an instrument to the receiver coil. The main challenges

to be confronted on this research project would be the circuit design, the inductor coil design, and the

adjustment of voltage throughout the circuit. The below charts give an outline of how the circuit would

look like. The model illustrated on this project provides the basis for a contemporary technology that
