There are disclosed devices, system and methods for a control device that controls a media player of a computer. The control device includes a circuit and various actuators that can be used to control the player. The actuators may be located in a pattern to be and may be configured to be activated by being stepped on. The control device sends loop in, loop out and a loop clear commands to the player upon receiving signals from a loop actuator. It also sends first speed, a second speed, a third speed, and a speed clear commands to the player upon receiving signals from a speed actuator. It sends pause, play and a global reset commands to the player upon receiving signals from a play/pause actuator. It may send skip backward and skip forward commands to the media player upon receiving signals from skip backward or skip forward actuators.

There is disclosed a method of providing a user computer with access to video advertisement files of a network. The method may comprise launching a browser application for a user computer to connect to a network, detecting if the user computer is not actively sending or receiving data from the network, and if so, commencing downloading a video advertisement file from the network to the user computer, detecting if the user computer is downloading a web page during downloading of the video advertisement file, and if so, waiting to continue downloading of the video advertisement file, automatically displaying the video advertisement file, determining that an ad file should not be viewed after the ad file has been viewed a predetermined number of times per predetermined time period, and providing a link that permits a user to select a web site that corresponds to the video advertisement file.

A gate opener has a gate that rotates between an open and a closed position in order to allow or retard ingress and egress through the gate. A plate is secured to the ground while a motor is secured to a post of the gate and is rotatably secured to the plate. Activation of the motor causes the post to rotate and thereby swing the gate open. Subsequent activation of the motor causes the post to counterrotate and thereby swing the gate closed. Appropriate limit switches delimit the arc of travel of the gate.
