Passive restraint government standards have resulted in the introduction of passenger side airbags for most cars in 1993. TIP Engineering has initiated a significant amount of R&D activity in developing the next state of the art passenger airbags (PAB) deployment door without any visible cut lines. The concept is referred to as the hidden seam deployment door. The major parameter of a successful hidden seam door function is the scoring of the back surface of the skin. Present technology can only accomplish this criteria by mechanical means. TIP would cut the skin by the use of a heat/energy/pressure pyrotechnic) device to the back surface of the skin. At the time the airbag is fired, the same command signal would initiate the pyrotechnic device to ignite creating an instant cut line along the periphery of the airbag opening. The pyrotechnic devices presently being considered are used primarily in the defense industry as an initiator to an explosive device. We propose to significantly revise and redevelop these devices for application on the airbag door. The anticipated benefits are to improve safety, warranty, and obvious styling improvement at a reduced cost.

被动约束政府标准导致 1993 年大多数汽车都采用了乘客侧安全气囊。TIP Engineering 已启动大量研发活动，开发下一代最先进的乘客安全气囊 (PAB) 展开门，且没有任何可见的切割线。 这个概念被称为隐藏接缝部署门。 成功的隐缝门功能的主要参数是蒙皮背面的刻痕。 目前的技术只能通过机械手段来达到这一标准。 TIP 会通过在皮肤背面使用热/能量/压力烟火装置来切割皮肤。 当安全气囊被触发时，相同的命令信号将启动烟火装置点燃，沿着安全气囊开口的周边形成即时切割线。 目前正在考虑的烟火装置主要在国防工业中用作爆炸装置的引发剂。 我们建议对这些装置进行重大修改和重新开发，以应用于安全气囊门。 预期的好处是以降低的成本提高安全性、保修和明显的造型改进。
