Prototype Quotations

Once you understand business models you can then start prototyping business models just like you prototype products.

On the recommendation of my professor in experimental physics, Paul Scherrer, I took an assistantship for electron microscopy at the Biophysics Laboratory at the University of Geneva in November 1953. This laboratory was animated by Eduard Kellenberger, and it had two prototype electron microscopes requiring much attention.

The Romantic poets were the prototype ramblers, and I've often found myself following in their footsteps - although perhaps not all of their footsteps since a typical walk for Samuel T. Coleridge might last two days and cover 145km.

Building a house from scratch in the middle of a field is a bit like building a prototype car. As with all prototypes, if you're building a car you usually have the luxury of producing several prototypes before you arrive at the production line version - so the opportunity for changing things is quite rich.

There is no modern prototype for a campus. You have to have a completely different model which has to do with transparency and exposing social connectivity and breaking down the Balkanization that happens departmentally.

There's a tremendous number of the Daytona Prototypes.

It takes a huge amount of effort to move from a successful high-tech prototype to broader adoption of an imaging technology.

Twitter was a mere prototype in 2006; now, many of us have become adept at saying all we have to say in 140 characters.

The idea of an e-book has been around since the late 1970s, when researchers at Xerox PARC got on the case. Their prototype used millions of little magnetic particles, black on one side and white on the other, loosely embedded in the surface of a soft sheet of rubber.

If you are truly innovating, you don't have a prototype you can refer to.

In Henry Adams, I discovered not only the prototype of the modern thinker but also someone who is more interesting: a viper-toothed, puling, supercilious crank, thwarted in ambition, aging gracelessly, mad at the cosmos, and ashamed of his own jejune ideals. He is nevertheless very dear to me.

I was forced to go around the outside of the kink in Turn 4 because a slow (Daytona) Prototype car was on the inside of the track. With all the marbles out there, the car just slid right off the road onto the grass, which would have been fine but unfortunately there were a lot of undulations and pits out there. The front splitter just dug into one of those and it ripped the front clip of the car off.

My first laps in the Courage were really satisfying, throughout the three free practice sessions, I bettered my lap times by 2 seconds per session. By doing so, I wasn't too far away from the regular prototype drivers in qualifying.

I have designed a few new tools to help me with my work. They are both in the prototype stage at this point, but the most promising has a rake front attached to a PVC pipe and garbage bag at the back, and after you scoop, you just tilt the tool back so that it slides into the bag.

My journey is about believing that people will actually stick around. It's a hard thing to believe when you don't have a prototype for it. I've had to develop that for myself.

Getting the right leadoff guy would be important. We'll always be looking for that. There are only five or six of those guys in the game. We're not the Lone Ranger in not having that prototype guy. We'll continue to try to look into that.

If Archer is the prototype of the player he (Brown) wants to be, he should know that 'Arch' was in trouble every second week when he was a youngster. But he learned how to turn himself into the most respected, aggressive footballer the game has seen for quite some time,

Casey's the prototype nose tackle in the 3-4. He's got great balance, he's very powerful and he can move. He's down to the same weight he was when he was a rookie and that's good for him. This guy has recognition, not just for sacks. When people watch him play, they recognize how important he is to our defense, and what he allows us to do.

Today I rode the new bike all day and we made some good progress. It was the first time we've had chance to spend a lot of time on the chassis and engine and I went quite a lot faster on it than I did last time here so that's positive. It's still a prototype machine and there are a lot of things we still need to try because it's quite a bit different to my other bike. It would have been nice to test the two bikes back to back but I'm sure we'll get a chance tomorrow.

He wasn't flashy, kind of a quiet guy, but with a deep, deep resolve. He had the heart of a champion, with all the things you think a great athlete should be. He was just the best. If there is a prototype for the Michigan man, I can't imagine anyone being more than that than Eric Namesnik. He will be missed for a long time.

He has come up with a prototype of the type of facilities that seem to be working in other areas. For a training facility, it's absolutely the best we'll see here, or have ever seen. I know it's the best I've ever seen. I just hope the community supports it.

He was the prototype for what we're all looking for. He represented the jockey colony with so much dignity and class. He was always politically correct and always said the right things.

My vision was to take the research money and develop a prototype to ensure that the private sector was building machines that fit the requirements.

I think that anyone who comes upon a Nautilus machine suddenly will agree with me that its prototype was clearly invented at some time in history when torture was considered a reasonable alternative to diplomacy

I wasn't really sure that my implementation of it would be what really took off, but fortunately I was able to get a prototype done.

Most of our newer prototype stations are about 7,200 square feet, and that station is about 3,500 square feet. It's just a very small station.

We've had fun flexing our media hacking muscles to build this research prototype over the past month.

That wasn't the prototype guy you like coming off the bench. You like a veteran, but he was one of our better guys doing it. He had quality at-bats in that role. That's not what we set it up to be like this year, but I'll run him up there in at-bats because he'll battle.

The process is always the same, it doesn't really matter what the object is, whether it's a prototype or whether it's for production,

The prototype of the academy is ready. We will have sports icons from other games too for imparting the best of skills and techniques to youngsters. Besides fitness, the focus will be on consistency in performance to remain on top in a competitive environment.

The fact that DHS is planning to take at least two years to develop a missile defense prototype to outfit the U.S. commercial fleet verges on the dangerous,

We said we would not franchise until we developed a prototype (restaurant) and finalized a menu and systems that we believed were ready.

Da Vinci always seemed like the prototype Tony Stark to me.

Thenewno2 is sort of my little prototype band, really.

Edison tried his light bulb a thousand times. I don't want to do this (assembling a prototype for testing) a thousand times.

The wing is very adjustable. You can change the angle and the shape of the wing. We're still in development. The wing on the car is strictly a prototype piece. By no means is that something that could be final, but certainly the concept is starting to prove itself worthy of continued investigation.

The store consolidation plan does not change our optimistic outlook with regard to new store development, and we continue to expect that we will open up to 70 new OfficeMax stores in 2006, using primarily our new Advantage store prototype format, to strengthen our position in key areas of the country.

There are 11 teams in the Big East that we hadn't faced before, so you could say it fits into the prototype of the year.

We're developing a prototype system that will interface tsunami computer simulations with buoy observations and earthquake information to make a forecast at the beach. That will be a step forward.

We've had several years of prototype equipment. What we haven't had is fully integrated systems. That's what needs to be tested to make sure files can flow correctly and the pieces all work together.

We are very optimistic about this launch because of the continued market dynamics -- the growing 'trading up' phenomenon and market size, the increasing demand for products that save time, and of course, our highly differentiated product that delivers five-star cooking results in a fraction of the time of conventional methods. We have designed our speed cook oven to answer the articulated wants and needs of the American consumer. With the exceptional responses from our prototype demonstrations around the country, we remain as excited as ever about bringing this powerful cooking alternative to the busy American family.

Rather naively, perhaps, we left it. I don't ever remember seeing that prototype again.

You're right, but Alexander Cartwright was a good friend of Shakespeare's and they played a prototype game in an amateur league back then ...

As coaches at Palma, we've always felt that Chad had tremendous Division I talent, ... But he's not your prototype 6-3 quarterback. And we don't put the ball in the air a lot here. It was a matter of convincing coaches he could play.

Sometimes cities are very anxious to have us and push along the project. Other times, it?s not exactly a perfect location and the site itself might not accommodate our prototype store and we have to make adjustments to our plans.

We're providing prototype development and small-to-medium volume manufacturing.

This will be the prototype racetrack for the world,

I had to learn everything about manufacturing, patents and how to run a business, and eventually I came up with an prototype that worked.

I'm like, 'He looks like the prototype linebacker big and muscular, mean-looking.'Ê

I'm drawn to plays with huge canvases and huge casts, and this is the prototype of that kind of play. There's a kind of energy in this play that you don't associate with social drama as a rule.

The (fast-breed reactor) program is at a prototype stage and not ready for inclusion in a list of India's civilian nuclear reactors.

Their engineers converted my prototype into a saleable product and got me through the UL approval,

It has very steady results. They are one of the leaders in software for engineering simulation where an engineering designs a product, wants to see when they actually go to prototype if it is going to work. They have very consistent results and I actually think when they report their quarter in the next week or two, it'll be an upside surprise.

In New York, researchers have created a working prototype of an amazing touch-screen interface for a computer that, unlike most touch screens, supports multiple touch points -- or multiple people. Running on OS X, the interface is reminiscent of Steven Spielberg's fictional, gesture-based UI in Minority Report -- but much cooler.

These students research, design, and construct prototype vehicles, applying what they learn in topics related to safety, control, geometry, aerodynamics, composite materials, fabrication techniques, and much more.

After building most of Mint.com's prototype by myself, I talked to anyone and everyone I knew about Mint. It's counter-intuitive, because you might fear someone will steal your idea, but it's the only way to make connections, be sure you're on the right track, and provide a solution for an audience broader than yourself.

Anthony is what you call a prototype (receiver). He's got the height, the weight and the speed everybody wants. So the biggest thing for us is just to find out what kind of year he is capable of having.

Prototype, then polish. Get it working before you optimize it

It's Alright, Ma' would be the prototype for that tune, I freely admit, ... When I was 12 years old, or however old I was when Bringing It All Back Home came out, I'd just skip back and forth endlessly between 'Subterranean Homesick Blues' and 'It's Alright, Ma' and 'Mr. Tambourine Man,' and now my Dylan roots are showing big time.

As a global organization, HFTP really needed to develop a presence outside of North America. The HFTP Board of Directors has worked hard to develop quality services like our CHAE and CHTP certifications, online educational programs, HITEC, and our newest initiative Guestroom 2010, a hotel prototype guestroom and pavilion debuting at HITEC 2006. We will continue to add more educational components to our membership benefits as the year progresses.

They pitched very well. They probably don't get the respect they're due as prototype pitchers. They're not throwers -- they're not going to light up any radar guns -- but they're very apt at pitching.

There isn't a physical prototype that preceded (Courtney). You have to look at the men's game and talk about comparisons to Shaq, how his frame and his ability transcended the game as we know it. She has the potential to have that kind of impact.

He's not the prototype tailback because he doesn't have quite the field vision or shake to him that the really good tailbacks have. But he has deceptive speed. We ran the legs off him, so he can take a pounding. He's very durable.

I made 5,127 prototypes of my vaccum before I got it right. There were 5,126 failures. But I learned from each one. That’s how I came up with a solution. So I don’t mind failure.

I think there's a prototype we're all looking for, whether it's Brett Favre or Troy Aikman. And everyone's got that picture in their mind of the prototype at the position.

The problem with prototypes is they don't always work.

He who makes the quickest, coolest prototypes reigns!

A prototype is always more expensive than anything.

We're not even giving you a time-frame. In fact, a lot of people who got the prototype code said, 'Hey this looks pretty good. Gee, you must be close to getting this done.' Because of all the integration and the extreme high level of quality, there's still quite a bit to be done.
