          Application 08/242,993                                                      



          Gore & Assocs., Inc. v. Garlock, Inc., 721 F.2d 1540, 1548,                 
          220 USPQ 303, 309 (Fed. Cir. 1983), cert. denied, 469 U.S. 851              
          (1984).                                                                     
                    Appellants argue on pages 5 through 7 of the brief                
          that neither Dhong nor the sentences found on page 1, lines                 
          11-21, of the Appellants' specification teaches or suggests an              
          EPROM, EEPROM, flash, non-volatile, or like device is inter-                
          changeable.  Appellants argue that Dhong teaches a DRAM device              
          and does not suggest using these other memory technologies.                 
          Appellants further argue that the sentences found on page 1,                
          lines 11-21, are not an admission that one of ordinary skill                
          in the art would have reason to modify the Dhong system by                  
          substituting the Dhong DRAM with these other memory technolo-               
          gies mentioned on page 1 of the Appellants' specification.                  




                    Upon our review of Appellants' specification, we                  
          find that Appellants' statements are only an admission that                 
          these other memory technologies are known, but does not sug-                
          gest that these memories are interchangeable.  We fail to find              

                                          5
