Abstract
A fluidic-device valve having a valve guide with a guide wall surrounding a central axis. The guide wall may include a first guide section, a second guide section, and an interior surface that defines a valve cavity extending longitudinally along the central axis. The valve may also include a valve member disposed within the valve cavity, and the valve member may extend longitudinally along the central axis between a first end and a second end of the valve member. The valve member may be movable within the valve cavity in a first axial direction along the central axis to position a fluid conduit defined by the valve member at a first location by increasing a pressure applied to the second end of the valve member by a pressure source coupled to the second guide section. Various other apparatuses, systems, and methods are also disclosed.
