On my blog, I will soon post pictures of the final product- The Sleeping Beauty. In order to get the best quality picture onto the computer, I will need to use something called "lossy compression". Lossy compression works to minimise the amount of data that needs to be held and transmitted by the computer.
Lossy compression is also used in mp3 players, and it works to discard the sounds that cannot be heard by the human hear (below 20Hz and above 20kHz), so that the sound is cleaner, clearer, and more defined. I will be using this tool in the same way, but to help to improve the quality of my images. Medium compression, which will contain 92% less of the information used in un-compressed photos, will result in the best quality image.
The images that I upload will contain close-ups of the small machine (where you plug in the statistics of your workout), the wires and where/how they connect to your body, and before and after images of The Sleeping Beauty's users. I hope this helps! Thanks guys!!

The Sleeping Beauty- RFID Chip as a safety device
The RFID chip is one of the coolest and most innovative inventions I have ever heard of (aside from my Sleeping Beauty). Well, lucky for me, I get to incorporate this piece of technology into my workout machine. Just as an RFID chip can monitor an athlete on the playing field, the chip will be integrated into the Sleeping Beauty to monitor the sleeper/exercise model in his or her sleep.
I have gotten a few messages with questions concerning the user's heart-rate while using this product in one's sleep. Can one die in his or her sleep while using this product? How do you know it is safe? What if one's heart-rate skyrockets in his or her sleep while on this machine? This product is too good to be true...etc. Well the chip will monitor one's heart rate to make sure this does not happen. Further, it will monitor blood pressure, cholesterol, and a number of other variables to ensure that the user of The Sleeping Beauty will have a productive, healthy, and calorie-burning sleep.
No worries to all of my viewers, followers, and potential users! If anything appears irregular, the machine will sound off, like an alarm, waking up the user and bringing levels back to normal. Aside from those who will use this product for an improved body image, this product can ALSO help those at risk of a heart attack, for the second heart-rate is irregular, the alarm will awaken the user and, if in severe condition, our product will give this user the opportunity to get to the hospital on time. So, not only is the Sleeping Beauty going to improve your body image, but it will also protect you from any unhealthy conditions in your sleep.

Testimonial- you will see how the Sleeping Beauty works in the near future!
Using progressive download, I will be able to display a video of the Sleeping Beauty doing its work on a client. This video will first show how to set up the machine, attach it to your body, and get it running. It will then proceed to show how the Sleeping Beauty works the muscles. I am very excited for all of you to watch this video and see why I am so enthusiastic about my product.
Progressive download, though you cannot fast forward and skip to parts of the video, is very efficient, cheap, and simple to use. As opposed to streaming, where you can fast-forward the video, progressive download can never damage your computer, and it is compatible with all machines.
Also, because you cannot fast-forward while watching my video, I am hoping that you will take it in and really get to witness the Sleeping Beauty do its magic :)! Progressive download is yet another tool that is helping me along with my innovative process, hope you guys like it!

How I will prove to you that this product really does work- managing my statistics
Microsoft Excel is a wonderful tool. It is a special kind of spreadsheet software that allows you not only to store data, but it performs calculations on the data that you store. I'm sure most of you have already used this software, but now I'm going to use it for your benefit.
Before the Sleeping Beauty is sold commercially, a few tests will be run over the course of three months. Twenty candidates will try the Sleeping Beauty- all using it without attending the gym and partaking in their regular workouts, ten while on a normal, healthy diet, and the other ten while eating whatever they please. The Sleeping Beauty is designed to tone any body, whether dieting or not, but will, of course, bring the best result to someone who maintains a healthy lifestyle.
I will organize this data using my favorite tool- Microsoft Excel. Excel will organize this data in a very straightforward, easy to read way: the twenty men and women and whether or not they've been eating well while using my product, their starting weight, their resulting weight, their starting pant size, their resulting pant size, and how much weight they lost/how many pant sizes they went down. All I'll have to do is plug in the numbers, and by using the SUM and AVERAGE functions, you will be able to see the miracle that the Sleeping Beauty brings to its users.
*This spreadsheet will eventually be available on my website for all to see.
