Patent number: 10596862Abstract: A tire pressure management system includes at least an axle, which houses pressurized fluid, and is supported by a tire. A vehicle frame supported by the axle, by way of a suspension is disposed between frame and the axle. Also included is a pressure management controller (PMC) supported by the frame, which communicates with the tire. A load detection device (LDD) interacting with the suspension determines a value for a load supported by the suspension. The PMC provides at least a central processing unit (CPU) programmed with a lookup table that associates the value determined by the LDD with a predetermined pressure for the tire. The CPU directs an inflation, else a deflation of of the tire based on the determined value.Type: GrantFiled: April 3, 2017Date of Patent: March 24, 2020Assignee: Airgo IP, LLCInventors: Joseph S.
