For Immediate Release

Newton Labs announces the formation of an Inspection Applications Group to develop and supply machine vision, inspection tools and automation to the power generation industry.

Seattle, WA April 26, 2007- Newton Research Labs, Inc., a Seattle based manufacturer of machine vision, robotics and optical automation, today announced the formation of an Inspection Applications Group specifically designed to service the power generation industry - both nuclear and non-nuclear. This group will be focused on introducing to power generation recent technological innovations developed for other industries and not yet available in the power generation industry.

“This is a very exciting prospect for me and the group,” stated Mike Trask, Sales Manager of the Inspection Applications Group. “With Newton’s outstanding technology, its past expertise in supplying machine vision to the steam generator industry and this new group’s many years of experience in the power industry, we should be able to offer the industry exciting new products and superb customer service,” he went on to add.

Over the last few years a considerable amount of new equipment, processes and techniques with machine vision as the enabling technology has been introduced into many industries. Currently, not all of these technological innovations have been made available to the power generation industry. The Inspection Applications Group will be specifically focused on supporting this industry and the evolving nuclear renaissance by introducing some of these new products and processes.

“While we have been supplying the steam generator industry for many years with machine vision for Independent Position Verification through Zetec, facilities security products through Newton Security and other products as an OEM supplier, this new group will now be directly servicing the power generation industry,” stated John W. Bramblet, President and CEO of Newton Labs. “We believe that the combination of Newton’s technology with these extraordinarily experienced industry personnel and superior customer service will make for a very successful contribution to the industry,” he added.
