Abstract: Computing systems, database systems, and related methods are provided for guiding a user defining a quote for a product. One method involves a server obtaining one or more values for one or more attributes of a quote from a client device coupled to the server over a network, obtaining an expected pricing model for the quote from a database, determining expected pricing information for the quote based on the one or more values for the one or more attributes using the model, and providing a graphical indication of the expected pricing information on the client device. The expected pricing model is determined based on historical relationships between quote attributes and price for previously-closed quotes.

Abstract: An eddy current magnetic braking system that is based on drag created when a conductor moves through a stationary magnetic field. As the magnetic field increases the drag value also increases. The invention provides a magnetic braking system for use on zip line/cable rides and trolleys. Alternate designs of the present invention include a magnetic braking system having a trolley that moves on a zip line/cable to a brake block which is connected to a pulley cable, as the trolley pushes the brake block, the pulley moves the conductor into a magnetic field creating an eddy current brake that slows the trolley to a stop.

Abstract: A trolley magnetic braking system having a brake block assembly engagable by a trolley, a substantially stationary conductor that is pitch adjustable and a carrier having magnetic members that are driven along the conductive member for braking a trolley. Providing a pitch adjustable conductor allows for modification of how much of the conductor interfaces with the magnets and therein varying the amount of eddy current applied in the braking apparatus.
