Abstract
A system comprises a pressurized container configured to hold a pressurized gas and to supply controlled amounts of the pressurized gas to the system as required. The system also includes a sensor that includes a wireless transmitter. The sensor is configured to sense the pressure in the pressurized container and to periodically transmit, using the wireless transmitter, information related to the pressure in the pressurized container. The system also includes a control unit that includes a wireless receiver configured to receive the information transmitted by the sensor. The control unit is further configured to predict based on the received information when the pressure in the pressurized container will reach a predetermined threshold.
