Abstract: 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.

Abstract: A gate opener has a slide gate panel that slides between an open position and a closed position in order to control passage through the gate. A support plate has a lower spindle support and an upper spindle support and is secured to the ground in appropriate fashion. A motor assembly is rotatably disposed between the lower spindle support and the upper spindle support and has a sprocket operationally attached thereto. When the bidirectional motor within the motor assembly is operational, the sprocket, which directly gearably meshes with a drive rack gear on the gate, rotates causing the gate to slide back or forth. A magnetic reed switch on the sprocket, support plate or control box, senses the presence of a magnet located on either end of the gate deactivates the motor reverse its direction for the next cycle.

Abstract: 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.
