Abstract: A device and method of supporting a bicycle load in a workstand, wherein the workstand can be supported on only two members which establish three individual points of support. The workstand can utilize at least one rotatable leg to collapse the workstand into a portable and manageable configuration that facilitates transporting and storage. The load support member to which the bicycle is either directly or indirectly coupled can be coupled to the support base off-center from the geometric center of the support base to provide a more stable configuration for the stand as well as to establish the member out of the way of the bicycle which must be supported. In addition, a space saving footprint established by the support base allows the workstand to be positioned against walls and in corners.

Abstract: A method for establishing certifiable patient informed consent for a medical procedure, where, in one embodiment, the patient interacts with a video training system until mastery of all required information is successfully achieved. Training techniques which permit elicitation of measurable behaviors from a patient as a guide to discerning the level of knowledge of the patient are utilized. Certification is only granted when the measurable behavior approximately coincide with the legal and medical standards for establishing informed consent. The system is capable of adapting to various medical procedures, as well as various patient attitudes and knowledge bases, while still maintaining a level of consistency throughout. In one embodiment, a minimum probability of understanding may be preset, and the training procedure will continue until the actual statistical probability of understanding is at least equal to the preset minimum.
