          Appeal No. 95-3388                                                          
          Application 08/242,993                                                      



                    together unless a statement is included                           
                    that the rejected claims do not stand or                          
                    fall together, and in the appropriate part                        
                    or parts of the argument under subparagraph                       
                    (c)(6) of this section appel-lant presents                        
                    reasons as to why appellant considers the                         
                    rejected claims to be separately                                  
                    patentable.                                                       
          As per 37 CFR § 1.192(c)(5), which was controlling at the time              
          of Appellants’ filing the brief, we will, thereby, consider                 


          Appellants’ claims 26 through 28, 30, 31 and 35 to stand or                 
          fall together.                                                              
                    We note that unlike the above claims, Appellants'                 
          claims 26 through 28, 30, 31 and 35 are not limited to a                    
          Markush group of memory technology that does not encompass the              
          Dhong memory.  Appellants' claims 26 through 28, 30, 31 and 35              
          are only limited to a Markush group that includes "a random                 
          access memory."  We note that Dhong discloses a dynamic random              
          access memory which is a random access memory.  Therefore, we               
          find that Dhong meets Appellants' Markush group limitation                  
          which is recited in these claims.                                           
                    Furthermore, we note that Appellants have chosen not              
          to argue any of the other specific limitations of claims 26                 
                                          9
