Temperature-governed pressure adjustment in pneumatic structures

2:

• The method of claim 1, wherein the adjusting includes at least one of:
• conveying at least a portion of the medium between the pneumatic structure and the adsorptive material;
• heating the adsorptive material when the target pressure exceeds the starting pressure;
• and
• discontinuing the adjusting upon realizing the target pressure.

5:

• The method of claim 4, further comprising at least one of:
• detecting the starting pressure;
• and
• comparing the starting pressure with the target pressure,
• wherein the adjusting of the temperature of the adsorptive material occurs when a comparison result of the comparing indicates non-equivalence.

11:

• A system for adjusting a pressure of a medium to a desired pressure useable for performance of one or more selected functions, the system comprising:
• an adsorptive material that is positioned in fluid communication with a pneumatic structure in which the medium is at a medium pressure that is a starting pressure, the adsorptive material being operable within a range of temperatures that is proportionate with a range of medium pressures at which the pneumatic structure is operable;
• and
• at least one regulator that adjusts a temperature of the adsorptive material to effect a commensurate adjustment of the medium pressure to a target pressure useable for performing a selected function.

14:

• The system of claim 11, further comprising at least one of:
• a pressure detector that detects the starting pressure and generates one or more signals indicative thereof;
• and
• a controller that receives the one or more signals generated by the pressure detector, compares the starting pressure detected by the pressure detector with the target pressure, and, when a comparison result indicates non-equivalence, sends one or more commensurate control signals to the at least one regulator to adjust the temperature of the adsorptive material.
