  • Auto-ignition composition
    Patent number: 10919818
    Abstract: A gas generator 10 includes a composition that contains a nonmetal perchlorate such as ammonium perchlorate as a first oxidizer, a secondary metal nitrate oxidizer such as strontium nitrate or sodium nitrate, a first fuel such as maleic hydrazide and salts thereof, and a second nitrogen-containing fuel such as nitroguanidine or guanidine nitrate. Gas generating systems 180 such as vehicle occupant protection systems 180, containing the gas generator 10, are also provided.

  • Inflator
    Patent number: 8783188
    Abstract: An inflator containing a housing having a first end and a second end is provided. An igniter is fixed within the first end of the housing for ignition of gas generant charges within the housing. A discrete fuel charge and a discrete oxidizer charge ignitably communicates with the igniter. The fuel charge and the oxidizer charge may be axially aligned and are substantially simultaneously combusted upon actuation of the inflator.

  • SELF-HEALING ADDITIVE TECHNOLOGY
    Publication number: 20140150935
    Abstract: A novel gas generant is formed by integrating an additive or compound selected from polymeric compounds, long-chain hydrocarbons, long-chain fluorocarbons, and paraffinic compounds in or about the gas generant. A gas generating composition is formed in a typical manner, and the additive may be either homogeneously mixed within the gas generating composition, or, it may simply be coated over the gas generant.
