Zusammenfassung:A restraint system includes a housing 48, a spool 50 rotatably coupled to the housing, a pinion 52 fixed to the spool, a rack 56 engaged with the pinion, and a piston 60 attached to the rack and the housing. The piston is filled with a resilient material 76. The resilient material may be a heterogeneous mixture of a liquid and hydrophobic, nanoporous particles. The particles may be made from silica. The particles may have a hydrophobic surface treatment. The housing may be fixed to a seat.
