Fluidic pump and latch gate

A fluidic device comprising:

• a first channel conduit including a first inner surface and a second inner surface, the first channel conduit configured to transport fluid from a first fluid entrance to a first fluid exit, wherein the first fluid entrance is an input for the fluid in the first channel conduit, and the first fluid exit is an output for the fluid in the first channel conduit;
• a second channel conduit including a third inner surface and a fourth inner surface, the second channel conduit located adjacent to the first channel conduit such that the first channel conduit and the second channel conduit share a common wall, the common wall including a portion of the second inner surface of the first channel conduit and a portion of the third inner surface of the second channel conduit, the second channel conduit configured to transport fluid from a second fluid entrance to a second fluid exit, wherein the second fluid entrance is an input for the fluid in the second channel conduit, and the second fluid exit is an output for the fluid in the second channel conduit;
• a neck located between the second fluid entrance of the second channel conduit and the second fluid exit of the second channel conduit, the neck comprising a portion of the fourth inner surface of the second channel conduit and a portion of the third inner surface of the second channel conduit that is included in the common wall;
• and
• a valve apparatus located within the first channel conduit, the valve apparatus configured to control a rate of fluid flow in the second channel conduit in accordance with a fluid pressure in the first channel conduit by changing position to deform the common wall, whereby deformation of the common wall changes a cross-sectional area of the neck, changing the rate of fluid flow in the second channel conduit, wherein the valve apparatus is configured to induce a first flow rate of the fluid in the second channel conduit in accordance with a first fluid pressure within the first channel conduit and a second flow rate of the fluid in the second channel conduit in accordance with a second fluid pressure within the first channel conduit, and the second fluid pressure is higher than the first fluid pressure.
