Abstract: An air pressure maintenance apparatus and method uses one or more high-pressure gas storage tanks coupled to an inflation hose via a calibrated rigid measurement chamber and automated system of valves to permit rapid inflation of a tire or other inflatable device to an accurate target pressure accounting for temperature effects, and recording accurate pre- and post-inflation pressure for analysis of deflation over time.

Abstract: Methods and systems disclosed herein may quantify the content and nature of first streaming data to detect when the typical composition of the first streaming data changes. Quantifying the content and nature of the first streaming data may begin by generating a baseline representation of the content of the first streaming data as represented by a first matrix. Once generated, the first matrix may be used as a control against subsequently received data streams. In this regard, a second matrix may be generated from second streaming data and compared to the first matrix to determine the differences between the first streaming data and the second streaming data. Once a difference is determined, the difference may be compared to a threshold value and, when the difference exceeds the threshold value, an administrator may be notified and corrective action taken.
