The majority of patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (Her2)‐positive gastric cancer develop refractory to Her2‐targeted therapy, where upregulation of immune checkpoints plays an essential role. Herein, a recombinant fully human IgG1 bispecific antibody IBI315 targeting both PD‐1 and Her2 is developed and its antitumor efficacy as well as the underlying mechanism is investigated. IBI315 crosslinks the physical interaction between Her2‐positive tumor cells and PD‐1‐positive T cells, resulting in significantly enhanced antitumor effects compared to each parent antibody or their combination, both in vitro and in vivo mouse tumor models reconstituted with human immune cells using patient‐derived xenografts and organoids. Moreover, IBI315 treatment also induces the recruitment and activation of immune cells in tumors. Mechanistically, IBI315 triggers gasdermin B (GSDMB)‐mediated pyroptosis in tumor cells, leading to the activation and recruiments of T cells. The activated T cells secret IFNγ, enhancing GSDMB expression and establishing a positive feedback loop of T cell activation and tumor cell killing. Notably, GSDMB is found to be elevated in Her2‐positive gastric cancer cells, providing a rationale for IBI315's efficacy. IBI315 is supported here as a promising bispecific antibody‐based immunotherapy approach for Her2‐positive gastric cancer in preclinical studies, broadening the therapeutic landscape of this patient population.

A intensity-modulated optical fiber relative humidity (RH) sensor based on the side coupling induction technology (SCIT) is presented and experimentally demonstrated. The agarose gel and the twisted macro-bend coupling structure are first combined for RH sensing applications. The refractive index (RI) of the agarose gel increases with the increase of the RH and is in linear proportion from 20 to 80%RH. The side coupling power, which changes directly with the RI of the agarose gel, can strip the source noise from the sensor signal and improve the signal to noise ratio substantially. The experiment results show that the sensitivity of the proposed sensor increases while the bend radius decreases. When the bend radius is 8 mm, the sensor has a linear response from 40% to 80% RH with the sensitivity of 4.23 nW/% and the limit of detection of 0.70%. A higher sensitivity of 12.49 nW/% is achieved when RH raises from 80% to 90% and the limit of detection decreases to 0.55%. Furthermore, the proposed sensor is a low-cost solution, offering advantages of good reversibility, fast response time, and compensable temperature dependence.

The existing magnetic target localization methods are greatly affected by the geomagnetic field and exist approximation errors. In this paper, a two-point magnetic gradient tensor localization model is established by using the spatial relation between the magnetic target and the observation points derived from magnetic gradient tensor and tensor invariants. Based on the model, the equations relating to the position vector of magnetic target are constructed. Solving the equations, a new magnetic target localization method using only a two-point magnetic gradient tensor and no approximation errors is achieved. To accurately evaluate the localization accuracy of the method, a circular trajectory that varies in all three directions is proposed. Simulation results show that the proposed method is almost error-free in the absence of noise. After adding noise, the maximum relative error percentage is reduced by 28.4% and 2.21% compared with the single-point method and the other two-point method, respectively. Furthermore, the proposed method is not affected by the variation in the distance between two observation points. At a detection distance of 20 m, the maximum localization error is 1.86 m. In addition, the experiments also verify that the new method can avoid the influence of the geomagnetic field and the variation in the distance, and achieve high localization accuracy. The average relative error percentage in the y-direction is as low as 3.78%.

This study presents a microelectromechanical systems S-springs vibration ring gyroscope (MSVRG), which is driven by electrostatic force and detected by capacitance. First, a ring resonator structure with eight S-shaped symmetrical supporting springs is developed, and the capacitor electrodes are designed according to the vibration characteristics of the ring resonator. Then, a precise equivalent stiffness model of MSVRG is established based on the vibration mechanics and the Cassette theorem, which can be employed for any other ring gyroscope with differently shaped springs. Moreover, the mode resonant frequency error of between experiments, finite-element analysis (FEA) and theory calculation, is 10.54% and 3.76%, respectively. After that, the process of MSVRG structure is introduced and the structure is manufactured, and the theory calculation and FEA value with processed parameters have 1.19% and 4.59% difference with resonant frequency tested value, respectively. Finally, the static performance of the fabricated MSVRG is tested, and the bias instability is about 0.0119    deg / s and angle random walk is about 0.0359    deg / s 1 / 2 at room temperature.

A quasi-distributed liquid leakage (QDLL) sensor in local area is proposed and experimentally demonstrated, providing a real-time yet low-cost method than the existing local QDLL sensor. The sensor mainly consists of a flexible lamp belt (FLB) with light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and a polymer optical fiber (POF) processed with side-coupling structures. The side-coupling structures are illuminated by the LEDs one by one, forming a series of sensing probes. The lights are side-coupled into the POF through the side-coupling structure and pulse sequences are obtained from the power meters connected to the both ends of the POF. Each pulse represents a sensing probe, and the intensity of them increase when the coupling medium changes from air to liquid. The location of the leakage incident can be got by the position of each pulse in its output sequence. The influence of different side-coupling structures on side-coupling ratio are investigated. The experiment results validate the detection and localization abilities of the QDLL sensor along a 1 m-long POF with a spatial resolution of 0.1 m, which can be improved by adjusting the side-coupling structure. Furthermore, the temperature dependence is studied and can be compensated.

Accurate calibration of magnetic gradient tensor (MGT) sensor arrays requires correcting both the magnitude and directional responses of individual triaxial magnetometers. Conventional scalar-based calibration methods focus solely on fitting the magnitude of the magnetic field vector, lacking control over directional accuracy and thereby compromising the reliability of MGT construction under field conditions. To overcome these limitations, this paper proposes a directionally regularized two-stage calibration framework specifically for cross-shaped MGT fluxgate sensor arrays. A physically interpretable twelve-parameter error model is formulated to decouple sensor-internal distortions from array-level orientation misalignments. Crucially, a directional regularization term is incorporated into the calibration objective function to enforce vector alignment across the array. Furthermore, a high-precision triaxial fluxgate sensor is employed as an internal reference, enabling fully self-contained calibration without external field generators or scalar magnetometers. For accurate estimation of the calibration parameters, a two-stage optimization strategy based on Differential Evolution (DE) is developed, in which all parameters are coarsely estimated via magnitude consistency in the first stage, followed by refined alignment of array orientations via directional regularization in the second stage. Field experiments conducted over six independent trials validate the effectiveness and reproducibility of the proposed framework, yielding an overall mean magnitude RMSE of approximately 5.92 nT and a mean angular deviation of 0.07°. These results confirm that the proposed framework enables accurate and robust compensation of MGT sensor arrays in practical environments.
