Andrew Batcher, an organizer for the Shut It Down DC coalition formed to protest Kessler's rally, said the event page created by "Resisters" was taken over and controlled by "a lot of real people doing real work." Batcher said he hasn't seen any evidence that any of administrators for the "Resisters' page was a "bad actor."

The majority of sorting networks implemented in hardware use Batcher even-odd and bitonic mergers [21].
Starting from a two-component commercial grade system Elastosil 3070/50 A and B (Wacker-Chemie GmbH) with a viscosity of 270,000 mPas [16], these two components were mixed in a 1:1 ratio with a batcher mixer (TOP 3000 S from Elmet) and cross-linked at a temperature of 150[degrees]C.
The group also voted to adopt their Solid Waste Implementation Plan, or SWIP, which Michael Batcher of the BCRC said would next have to go to the state for final approval.
The majority of known hardware accelerators for data sort use Batcher even-odd and bitonic mergers [24,25] which are the fastest because of the lowest latency L(N) measured by the number of levels of basic network elements through which signals propagate from the inputs to the outputs.
The application of vibration mechanisms in the biomedical systems, considering the possibilities of the drug injection systems, the study presents the construction and the principle of the operation of vibration-assisted spring-loaded batcher, the necessary for its functioning vibration operation form and how it is related to vibration frequency and amplitude.
But Nine isn't like every other batcher. She harbors indecision and worries about her upcoming Remake Day--her seventeenth birthday, the age when batchers fly to the Remake facility and have the freedom to choose who and what they'll be.
The finishing company's product line of perforators (inline and cross), punching, sheeting (straight and chip-out), slit/merge, stacker/ batcher, diecut, coaters and winders can handle speeds up to 1,000 fpm and 42" web widths.
The sorter is based on the Batcher's sorting network, and the basic unit is a 2 x 2 comparator which is used to per-fonn data comparison and exchange.
