  • Apparatuses, systems, and methods for modulating fluid flow within a fluidic device
    Patent number: 10824231
    Abstract: The disclosed fluidic device may include (1) a channel configured to transport fluid from a source to a drain and (2) a gate configured to modulate fluid flow through the channel. The gate may modulate fluid flow by bending a gate actuation membrane that alternates between an initial configuration that does not interfere with a cross section of the channel and a bent configuration that causes the cross section to reversibly compress. The gate actuation membrane may include an undulation that facilitates the bending of the gate actuation membrane.
