safety device and is an occupant
restraint system. The airbag
module is designed to inflate

7. History and Development
The first commercial designs were
introduced in passenger automobiles during
the 1970
General Motors marketed its first airbag
modules under the unwieldy name "Air
Cushion Restraint System (ACRS)".
controlled by a central Airbag control
unit (ACU), The ACU monitors a number of
related sensors within the vehicle,
including accelerometers, impact sensors,
side (door) pressure sensors, wheel speed
sensors, gyroscopes, brake pressure
sensors, and seat occupancy sensors.

8. Working
Airbag systems contained a mixture
of sodium azide (NaN3), KNO3, and
SiO2. A typical driver-side airbag
contains approximately 50-80 gm of
NaN3, with the larger passenger-side
airbag containing about 250 gm. Within
about 40 milliseconds of impact, all
these components react in three
separate reactions that produce nitrogen
gas.

28. The Road Not Taken: ROBERT FROST
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth………..
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the
difference.
