Protect at-risk data quickly and confidently: enhanced functionality to ensure high quality and trustworthy data to enable organizations to protect sensitive and PII data by managing access and applying appropriate security controls.Automated data hiding: Ataccama ONE now provides automatic data hiding to prevent misuse, unauthorized access and data leakage or breaches, so data samples are only available to relevant users.Centralized credential management: as an extension of existing integration with Microsoft Azure Key Vault, data teams can now connect their HashiCorp directly. This streamlines management and removes the need to share the credentials with other services.

Monitoring data quality at scale for efficiency and trust in data: Ataccama ONE v15.3 provides unparalleled fast, accurate and cost-effective processing performance for even the heaviest data processing cases. This ensures users have the most up-to-date and accurate data to work from at all times, helping them move business initiatives forward successfully.

Faster processing with data slicing: data teams can now run data quality monitoring on the latest increment of large data sets, with slices created based on time range, with monitoring run on a scheduled basis. Processing is faster with the smaller portion of data, reducing the consumption of computation resources and licensing costs.Assured data quality: accelerate data quality rule creation with AI-generated test data, and streamline rule application with intelligent suggestions and auto-hiding of non-matching rules. This allows rules to be applied faster and reduces unintentional human error, adding to data quality assurance.

NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory mission to survey the history and evolution of the universe and bridge current scientific gaps

BROOMFIELD, Colo., Nov. 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — BAE Systems (LON: BA) announced today that its Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL)-led PRIMA (PRobe far-Infrared Mission for Astrophysics) team has been selected by NASA for the next phase of development in NASA’s new class of “Probe Explorers” astrophysics missions.   

BAE Systems will provide its Evolve+ spacecraft bus for the mission, lead the observatory assembly, integration and test process, and serve as the operations and ground lead for NASA’s JPL, the manager of the mission.   

“We are excited to continue our decades-long partnership with JPL through the PRIMA mission that will enable NASA to make significant discoveries on the history of the universe,” said Bonnie Patterson, vice president and general manager of civil space for BAE Systems. “The PRIMA mission will also help fill observation gaps with other NASA astrophysics missions, including the James Webb Space Telescope and other observatories, also supported by BAE Systems.”  

NASA’s PRIMA mission will use a highly sensitive, far-infrared space telescope that is designed to see parts of the universe that are hidden by dust. Using a 1.8-meter diameter telescope, it will observe the cosmos in far-infrared light, bridging the critical observation gap between the James Webb Space Telescope and ground-based radio observatories.

The mission will help scientists learn how stars, planets, galaxies and even water formed over time. It will reveal how these cosmic structures grow and change, providing a clearer picture of how our universe developed and evolved from its formation to the present.  

The PRIMA mission is currently advancing through Phase B development and is targeted for launch in 2033 for a five-year mission. Following a NASA confirmation review, the project will move toward full implementation.

BAE Systems will join numerous international space industry providers to support the PRIMA mission, including those from France, Italy, Canada, South Korea, Japan and the UK.

Through the PRIMA mission, BAE Systems continues its longstanding support of NASA’s astrophysics programs. This includes work on the Hubble Space Telescope, Chandra X-ray Observatory, James Webb Space Telescope and the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, among others.

Why a Pocket Projector Could Be the Right Gift for Gamers and Sewists: Aurzen ZIP Pro

Published

on

By

IRVINE, Calif., Nov. 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The friend who hosts game night and the maker who dreads taping sewing patterns together might appreciate the same unexpected gift: a pocket projector. Aurzen ZIP Pro, a CES Innovation Awards 2027 Honoree, brings shared fun and sewing pattern projection together in one foldable projector.

Unlike a fixed TV, ZIP Pro is a gaming projector that moves with the gathering. Its larger shared image brings everyone into the adventure, whether you’re sharing maps during tabletop RPG sessions or cruising through neon-lit city streets in the upcoming AAA open-world titles. Direct USB-C support for Nintendo Switch makes it a convenient dock-free projector, letting friends play together instead of crowding around a handheld screen. Wired Game Mode offers 20–40ms response times for casual co-op and party games.

Beyond game nights, ZIP Pro brings the same flexibility to your sewing table. As a sewing projector, it lets you skip printing, taping and storing paper patterns, leaving more time for working with fabric. Native 1080p DLP and ToF autofocus help keep fine outlines clear, while adjustable support and four-point correction help align the image with your cutting surface. With less setup between an idea and the first cut, this compact sewing pattern projector helps you turn your ideas into a finished piece with greater confidence.

The ZIP Pro Basquiat Special Edition Bundle pairs the same hardware with artwork from the Basquiat estate. It includes the projector, two custom art shells, a custom GoPlay portable case and a mounting suite with MagPlay Pro and Z-Stand in a special-edition gift box. The interchangeable shells offer two different looks, making it a personal choice for Basquiat fans.

During the promotion from Nov.19-30, ZIP Pro is $579.99 (regularly $629.99); ZIP Pro Basquiat Special Edition Bundle is $649.99 (regularly $679.99). Buyers can choose a complimentary GoPlay Carry Bag or Z-Stand, limited to 50 gifts in total, first-come, first-served. A sitewide prize draw offers shoppers a chance to get their order for free.
