Abstract: The present invention provides a hybrid inflator capable of adjusting an amount of a pressurized medium and a material of a gas generating agent to meet the requirements. An outer shell of a first gas generating chamber 130 is formed by an inflator housing 101 and a second gas generating chamber housing 146, and an outer shell of a second gas generating chamber 140 is formed by the second gas generating chamber housing 146.

Abstract: An airbag inflator includes non-azide gas generating propellants, surrounding an ignition device, disposed inside a housing. The gas generating propellants are surrounded by a coolant/filter device having a pressure loss of 0.3×10−2 to 1.5×10−2 kg/cm2 at a flow rate of 100 l/min/cm2. A space is provided between an outer periphery of the coolant/filter device and the housing such that the combustion gas passes through the entire area of the coolant/filter device.

Abstract: An estimation system for estimating an injection-molding related cost comprises an input unit, storage, a data processing unit, and an output unit. The storage stores a mold estimation function for each of cost items of a mold used to produce a molded product, and a mold estimation reference value table for recording mold estimation reference values in association with prescribed conditions. The data processing unit acquires a fabrication condition of the molded product through the input unit, reads the mold estimation function and one of the mold estimation reference values from the storage corresponding to the fabrication condition, and estimates a cost of the mold based on the mold estimation function and the selected mold estimation reference value. The output unit outputs a mold cost estimation result made by the data processing unit.

Abstract: Gas generating pellets for an air bag system causes the initial inflating speed of the air bag to be increased at a reduced rate to prevent a passenger from being injured due to vigorous inflation of the air bag in the initial period, while maintaining sufficient ability to restrict the passenger after 35 to 50 milliseconds from the start of the inflation. Combustion of the gas generating pellets for an air bag system are controlled such that in a tank test conducted with respect to a gas generator using the pellets, where a desired maximum tank pressure is P (kPa), and a period of time from the start of rising of the tank pressure to the time when the maximum tank pressure P (kPa) is reached is T milliseconds, the tank pressure measured after 0.25×T milliseconds is not higher than 0.20×P (kPa), and the tank pressure measured after 0.80×T milliseconds is not lower than 0.70×P (kPa).

Abstract: An external storage device of a component cost estimation system stores various cost information representing a component material and its cost in association with each other, and a component manufacturing step and a cost involved in the step in association with each other. An information processing apparatus specifies a material of a component to be manufactured, and a plurality of manufacturing steps. Then, the information processing apparatus retrieves a cost of the specified material, and costs corresponding to the specified manufacturing steps from the cost information, and estimates a cost of the component based on the retrieved costs. The cost of the component is computed by adding up the cost of the material and the costs involved in all the manufacturing steps.
