This SBIR Phase II research focuses on a high energy device that can cut the skin and foam of an automotive instrument panel surface in an emergency activation of an airbag. The cutting action is effected by the release of stored chemical energy either by detonation and/or heat deflagration. The fabrication concept uses a paint slurry printed onto the back surface of an instrument panel directly on an intermediate membrane or on the airbag door substrate. Current passenger airbag technology leaves a visible appearance of the airbag in the front surface of and instrument panel. The technology under this award will improve safety, appearance, and flexibility in locating the cut without adverse effect on reliability of the airbag or on other instrument panel parameters.

这项SBIR第二阶段研究的重点是一种高能设备，该设备可以在安全气囊紧急激活时切割汽车仪表板表面的蒙皮和泡沫。切割作用是通过爆炸和/或热爆燃释放储存的化学能来实现的。制造概念使用了一种油漆浆料，直接印在仪表板的背面，中间膜上或安全气囊门基板上。目前的乘客安全气囊技术在仪表板前表面留下可见的安全气囊外观。该奖项下的技术将提高定位切割的安全性、外观和灵活性，而不会对安全气囊的可靠性或其他仪表板参数产生不利影响。
