Abstract:
A hardware module which operatively carries out a method of compressing mass spectral data, the method comprising: receiving a first signal output from an ion detector of a mass spectrometer; processing the first signal to a digital signal at an output being data frame types representative of the first signal output; temporarily storing the data frame types in a memory block and reading a data frame from the memory block and determining its data frame type and according to its data frame type compressing the data frame according to one or more compression algorithms to generate a compressed data output stream.

Claim (Index 21):
A method of compressing mass spectral data, the method comprising:\n receiving a first signal output from an ion detector of a mass spectrometer; processing the first signal to a digital signal at an output being one or more data frames representative of the first signal output; temporarily storing the one or more data frames in a memory block; and reading a data frame from the memory block and determining a data frame type of the data frame and according to the data frame type compressing the data frame according to one or more compression algorithms to generate a compressed data output stream, wherein the one or more compression algorithms include:\n providing intensity or m/z information in respect of a first data point by calculating the difference between the intensity of the first data point and an intensity of a second data point adjacent the first data point or by calculating the difference between a mass index or m/z of the first data point and a mass index or m/z of a second data point adjacent the first data point; \n performing further compression, wherein the further compression is lossless; \n determining an intensity distribution from a plurality of different regions or portions of mass spectral data or of a mass spectrum; \n estimating a background intensity for one or more regions or portions of said mass spectral data or said mass spectrum from said intensity distribution; and \n adjusting an intensity of one or more regions or portions of said mass spectral data or said mass spectrum in order to remove or reduce the effects of said estimated background intensity.
