Fluidic control valve

A valve comprising:

• an orifice plate comprising at least one orifice surrounded by an orifice plate seal surface;
• a seal plate comprising:
• a seal boss having a seal boss surface that faces the orifice plate;
• and
• a pocket that overlays the at least one orifice, the pocket defined by a recessed surface that is surrounded by the seal boss surface and displaced from the seal boss surface along an axis;
• and
• an actuator configured to move the seal plate relative to the orifice plate along the axis to transition the valve between open and closed states,
• wherein:
• the seal boss surface engages the orifice plate seal surface, surrounds the at least one orifice, and blocks a flow of fluid through the at least one orifice when the valve is in the closed state;
• the seal boss surface is displaced from the orifice plate seal surface and does not block a flow of fluid through the at least one orifice when the valve is in the open state;
• and
• the seal boss is non-circular.
