DECISION ON APPEAL
A patent examiner rejected claims 1-27. The appellants appeal therefrom under
35 U.S.C. § 134(a). We affirm.
BACKGROUND
The invention at issue on appeal is a "bubble-jet type" ink jet print head. (Spec.
at 1.) Such a print head heats ink to a form a bubble therein, which ejects ink droplets.1
1In contrast, an "electro-mechanical transducer type" employs a piezoelectric
crystal bends that bends to change a volume of ink, thereby causing ink droplets to be
expelled. (Spec. at 2.)
