I would like info on airbag deployment.

1) How long does the entire process take from collision to full inflation?
2) How long does it take from fully inflated to fully deflated?
3) What is the velocity at which it inflates?
4) What amount of force is generated by the bag during inflation?
5) What accelerations are required to trigger the inflation?
5) What principle directions of force will cause the airbag to inflate
(i.e. 12:00 O'clock 9:00 O'clock etc)?
6) How long does an airbag remain fully inflated?

Please respond if you can be helpful but please don't guess at this info.

Thanks
