Title: Emmy Maria Hoyes: Inventor in Imaging Mass Spectrometry.

Introduction

Emmy Maria Hoyes is an inventor based in Mellor, Great Britain. Her patent work concerns methods for acquiring and managing imaging mass spectrometry data. She is associated with Micromass UK Limited and holds 2 patents.

Latest Patents

Hoyes’s listed patents describe approaches to ion imaging that use data-driven decisions to balance spatial resolution and data handling.

“Data Directed Storage of Imaging Mass Spectra” describes scanning a sample and evaluating mass spectral data acquired at a pixel location against a specified condition. Data that meets the condition can be stored, recorded, or prioritized, while data that does not meet it can be discarded or downgraded. Scanning then continues at the initial spatial resolution.

“Data Directed Acquisition of Imaging Mass” describes a related method that adjusts acquisition resolution according to the data. After collecting data at a first resolution, the method checks whether it meets a condition. If it does, the system acquires data from an adjacent pixel at a higher resolution and evaluates that data as well. Depending on the results, acquisition may continue at the higher resolution or return to the first resolution.

Career Highlights

Hoyes’s listed inventions focus on conditional data storage and adaptive-resolution acquisition in ion imaging. These methods are designed to direct attention toward data that meets selected criteria while managing the collection of imaging mass spectra.

Collaborations

Hoyes is associated with Micromass UK Limited. Her listed coworkers include Paul Robert Murray and Keith George Richardson.

Conclusion

Emmy Maria Hoyes’s patent portfolio centers on data-directed ion imaging, combining conditional data handling with flexible acquisition resolution.
