    (SPIE-INT SOC OPTICAL ENGINEERING, 2013-01-01) Alejandro Betancur, J.; Osorio, Gilberto; Cardona, Francisco; Alejandro Betancur, J.; Osorio, Gilberto; Cardona, Francisco; Universidad EAFIT. Departamento de Ingeniería Mecánica; Mecánica Aplicada
    This paper gives a short description of a low cost communication device. The wireless intercom devices presented here enable communication between any two of these products through specialized synchronization options. This communication system consists of two functionally linked radiofrequency intercoms in the 2.4GHz free band. Each of these devices consist of a hands-free cellular system containing a microphone and a loudspeaker, which is connected individually to each communication device through a plug of four (4) contacts and three point five (3.5) mm in diameter, it also has a single USB connector for battery charging (without data bus), which is made of a lithium polymer, and finally three (3) buttons from where certain functions are controlled: volume level, audio filters, on, off, among other. © 2013 SPIE.

    Development of as-cast dual matrix structure (DMS) ductile iron
    (ELSEVIER SCIENCE SA, 2013-03-20) Murcia, S. C.; Paniagua, M. A.; Ossa, E. A.; Murcia, S. C.; Paniagua, M. A.; Ossa, E. A.; Universidad EAFIT. Departamento de Ingeniería de Producción; Materiales de Ingeniería
    Ductile iron is widely used due to its low cost and higher ductility than other cast irons. There has been an increased interest during the last years in improving the strength of these materials by means of heat-treating to obtain dual matrix structures (DMS) that enhance the properties found in Austempered Ductile Irons (ADI). This work studies the fabrication of DMS ductile cast irons with martensitic and bainitic structures in the as-cast condition, reducing costs related to heat treating processing while improving the mechanical behavior of the material. Cast irons alloyed with nickel ranging from 0% up to 7% were produced in order to evaluate the effect of Ni-Mo content on the phase transformations and mechanical properties of the material. The effect of cooling rate in phase transformations and mechanical properties were studied using molds with different wall thicknesses, finding that addition of Nickel and Molybdenum improves substantially the strength of the as-cast ductile iron, making unnecessary any further heat treating according to the level of properties desired. © 2012 Elsevier B.V.
