Claim Text:
1. A system for absorbing gas supply shocks, the system comprising: a gas storage for storing pressurized gas; a gas consuming device; a pressure sensing valve configured to allow gas flow from a gas supply into the gas storage only when a pressure of the gas provided from the gas supply exceeds a maximum gas pressure acceptable by the gas consuming device and to allow the flow of at least some gas out of the gas storage to the gas consuming device during a negative pressure spike in the gas provided from the gas supply a pressure regulating valve configured to prevent gas flow from the gas supply to the gas consuming device when the pressure of the gas provided from the gas supply exceeds the maximum gas pressure acceptable by the gas consuming, device; and a gas transmission apparatus connecting the gas supply, the gas storage and the gas consuming device such that gas can be provided from the gas supply to both the gas storage and the gas consuming device and such that gas can be provided to the gas consuming device from both the gas supply and the gas storage.
