2. Canned tire inflator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canned_tire_inflator

   Canned tire inflators are single-use devices intended to provide a quick, temporary solution to drivers who experience flat tires. These devices seal the punctured tire and then reinflate it with pressurized gas, providing enough pressure to allow the auto to be driven for a short period at low speed.

3. Tire-pressure monitoring system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire-pressure_monitoring...

   A tire-pressure monitoring system (TPMS) monitors the air pressure inside the pneumatic tires on vehicles. [1] A TPMS reports real-time tire-pressure information to the driver, using either a gauge, a pictogram display, or a simple low-pressure warning light. TPMS can be divided into two different types – direct (dTPMS) and indirect (iTPMS).

4. Direct TPMS - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_TPMS

   direct TPM sensor fitted in valve system, manufacturer VDO. In most current designs of direct TPMS, a small electronic assembly which is rugged enough to be mounted inside a tire, measures the pressure using a microelectromechanical system (MEMS) [1] pressure sensor and then transmits this and other information to one or more vehicle receivers. [1]

5. Central tire inflation system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_Tire_Inflation_System

   Reducing tire pressure also reduces the extent to which the tires grind against loose surfaces, significantly reducing dust and silt. Another function of CTIS is to maintain tire pressure if there is a slow leak or puncture. In this case, the system controls inflation automatically based on the selected pressure the driver has set. [1]

6. Inflatable - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inflatable

   A tire (in American English and Canadian English) or tyre (in British English, New Zealand English, Australian English and others) is a ring-shaped covering that fits around a wheel rim to protect it and enable better vehicle performance by providing a flexible cushion that absorbs shock while keeping the wheel in close contact with the ground ...

7. Nitrogen generator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrogen_generator

   Aircraft tires use nitrogen fill to delay tire rupture on rejected take off events, allowing evacuation time before brake system heat causes an internal tire fire. Fusible plugs in the tire are the primary protection against heat induced pressure excursion. Internal tire fires can kindle at initial stop due to local hot sections of the wheels.
