The present invention relates generally to an automated reference indicator system. In one embodiment, the present invention provides a first reference indicator patch disposed near an area of interest, such as a wound, on an object, such as a human. A first image depicting the area of interest and the first reference indicator patch is captured and then input into a computer apparatus. A first set of data regarding the area of interest is then calculated by the computer apparatus based on an analysis of the first reference indicator patch and the area of interest. A second image of the area of interest and a second reference indicator patch disposed on at least a portion of the object is captured and subsequently input into the computer apparatus. The second image is typically taken at a time different from when the first image was taken. For example, the second image could be captured two weeks after the first image was captured. The computer apparatus locates the second reference indicator patch depicted in the second image and then calculates a second set of data regarding the area of interest based on an analysis of the second reference indicator patch and the area of interest. The computer apparatus then compares the first set of data to the second set of data to determine differences between the area of interest as depicted in the first image and the area of interest as depicted in the second image.

A box flap securing device for securing two opposing box flaps in a closed position wherein the box flap securing device includes a bottom member having an edge, a top member disposed a distance from the bottom member and in an overlying relationship with the bottom member, and a post interconnecting the bottom member and the top member. The post has an edge which is disposed in a coextensive relationship with at least a portion of the edge of the bottom member whereby the bottom member, top member and post cooperate to define a box flap receiving slot having a height at least equal to the thickness of the box flap but less than two times the thickness of the box flap.
