"They're trying to bedazzle us with very fancy prototypes to get us hooked on the fact that they're working very hard on a technology that we all agree is ultimately the prize — a zero-pollution motor vehicle.
According to Dyson it took 187 prototypes to get it right and 19 patents to protect the innovations on just the turbine tool, so named because air intake — not belts — drives the spinning motion of the discs.

SITES exhibitions (often organized in collaboration with other institutions) are on any and all subjects, culled from hundreds of ideas, then tested in focus groups and in prototype demonstrations, to get public reaction.
Over the years, several other companies have built prototypes, but to get a decent-size color screen (say, 2 1/2 inches diagonally) and enough battery power to run it for an hour or two, the video watches had to weigh more than a pound.
Furthermore, we have implemented our proposed architecture in an ARM-based processor platform to complete our virtual prototyping and to get a real evaluation of our drowsiness system architecture.
