Security Industry News; Visualant (OTCBB:VSUL) Receives First Patent on its Spectral Pattern Matching Technology

SEATTLE - September 6, 2011 (Investorideas.com Defense Newswire) - Visualant, Inc. (OTCBB: VSUL) - a pioneer provider of industry-leading color based identification and diagnostic solutions; an emerging leader in security and authentication systems technology; and distributor of a wide variety of security solutions through its wholly-owned subsidiary, TransTech Systems, Inc. – is pleased to announce that it has received its first patent on its Spectral Pattern Matching ("SPM") technology.

The Visualant technology was developed by renowned research scientists, Drs. Tom Furness and Brian Schowengerdt. A number of years were spent in the laboratory developing a unique proprietary approach to mapping color at the photon level and using that mapping as a basis for authentication and diagnostics. In conjunction with the stellar work being done in the lab, the Company pursues an aggressive patent strategy to protect its unique intellectual property.
Drs. Furness and Schowengerdt and their laboratory development team brought a generation of experience to the Visualant SPM development process. Dr. Furness is known in many circles as the "Father of Virtual Reality." Dr. Schowengerdt is an internationally renowned leader in the field of color perception.

The patent issued by the United States Office of Patents and Trademarks is US Patent No. 7,996,173 and is entitled "Method, Apparatus and Article to Facilitate Distributed Evaluation of Objects Using Electromagnetic Energy."

Ron Erickson, Visualant Founder and CEO, stated, "We are very pleased to receive our first patent covering our SPM technology. Our science team is world-class. The issuance of this patent validates our belief that our technology is unique and transformative. We expect more patents to be issued as we build the intellectual property foundation for Visualant’s business and move into the marketplace with diverse applications of our SPM technology."

About Visualant, Inc.
Visualant, Inc. (OTCBB: VSUL) develops low-cost, high speed, light-based security and quality control solutions for use in homeland security, anti-counterfeiting, forgery/fraud prevention, brand protection and process control applications. Our patent-pending technology uses controlled illumination with specific bands of light, to establish a unique spectral signature for both individual and classes of items. When matched against existing databases, these spectral signatures allow precise identification and authentication of any item or substance. This breakthrough optical sensing and data capture technology is called Spectral Pattern Matching ("SPM"). SPM technology can be miniaturized and is easily integrated into a variety of hand-held or fixed mount configurations, and can be combined in the same package as a bar-code or biometric scanner.
Through its wholly owned subsidiary, TransTech Systems, Inc., the Company provides security and authentication solutions to security and law enforcement markets throughout the United States.

Security Industry News; Visualant (OTCBB:VSUL) Subsidiary, TransTech Systems, Sees Growth In Difficult Economic Environment

SEATTLE - September 1, 2011 (Investorideas.com Defense Newswire) - Visualant, Inc. (OTCBB: VSUL), a pioneer provider of industry-leading identification solutions, is pleased to announce today that its subsidiary, TransTech Systems, sees growth in its business in the midst of a difficult economic environment.

TransTech continues to enjoy revenue growth year-to-date on a calendar basis over the same period in 2010. There have been a few special projects which have increased revenues. Meanwhile TransTech continues to strengthen and grow its customer base. The number of resellers with orders in the system during the last few months has remained ahead of last year.

Typically, low employment translates into less need for corporate or contractor ID badges. Yet while the national employment situation has not improved much over last year, some sectors have increased their requirements. In comparison to last year, July and August revenue has been fueled by decent seasonal strength in the School ID market. This segment has been stronger than 2010 for many of TransTech’s resellers. The back order and current bid pipelines remain reasonably strong as of the end of August. If the trend holds for September TransTech will show growth for the 3rd quarter of the calendar year.

Jim Gingo, President of TransTech Systems and an industry leader stated, "We are seeing a distinctive uptick in orders for companies, organizations and government agencies for security and identifications systems and components. We have noticed that many of orders are directed at strengthening existing access control systems and other organizational infrastructure to more strongly tie an individual credential holder to the person holding it. In other words, it no longer seems enough to provide access cards and systems, but rather authentication and authorization have become an integral factor in system efficiencies."

TransTech, acquired by Visualant in June of 2010, is the distribution arm for Visualant Spectral Pattern Matching ("SPM") technology into the security and authentication marketplace. Regarding SPM, Gingo added, "I believe our parent company, Visualant, and its proprietary SPM technology is poised to ultimately provide even more options for definitively linking a person to his or her credential, be it card, paper or anything else."

Visualant, Inc. develops low-cost, high speed, light-based security and quality control solutions for use in homeland security, anti-counterfeiting, forgery/fraud prevention, brand protection and process control applications. Its patent-pending technology uses controlled illumination with specific bands of light, to establish a unique spectral signature for both individual and classes of items. When matched against existing databases, these spectral signatures allow precise identification and authentication of any item or substance. This breakthrough optical sensing and data capture technology is called Spectral Pattern Matching (SPM). SPM technology can be miniaturized and is easily integrated into a variety of hand-held or fixed mount configurations, and can be combined in the same package as a bar-code or biometric scanner. www.visulant.net
Through its wholly owned subsidiary, TransTech Systems, Inc., the Company provides security and authentication solutions to security and law enforcement markets throughout the United States. www.ttsys.com
