Aspects comprise a ray shooting method based on the data structure of a uniform grid of cells, and on local stencils in cells. The high traversal and construction costs of accelerating structures are cut down. The object's visibility from the viewpoint and from light sources, as well as the primary workload and its distribution among cells, are gained in the preprocessing stage and cached in stencils for runtime use. In runtime, the use of stencils allows a complete locality at each cell, for load balanced parallel processing.

A farming windrow machine and method for sowing a second crop before the first crop is harvested. The windrow machine is preferably hitched to a tractor and is followed by an agricultural machine to sow a field immediately after the crop nearly ready for harvested is cut. The machine omprises a frame supporting means for aligning crop upstanding in the field and mower means for cutting the aligned crop. The machine further comprises a conveyor belt mounted on a pair of spaced rollers, the conveyor belt cantilevered over a side of the windrow machine for transporting and piling the cut crop over and away from one side of the machine, such that a sower machine may follow the windrow machine to sow a second crop in the wake of the first cut crop, thereby increasing crop cultivation days and improving farm turnover.

The invention discloses an Ethernet passive optical network (EPON) channel transmission method for eliminating idle time, and relates to the technical field of optical communication and optical access networks. The method comprises the following steps of: dividing optical network units (ONU) into a common ONU and an alternative ONU; transmitting a REPORT frame and a DATA frame of the common ONU together; transmitting the REPORT frame and the DATA frame of the alternative ONU separately; and taking the time when an optical line terminal (OLT) starts to perform bandwidth allocation as a start-stop movement of a polling cycle, in each polling cycle, first, uploading the DATA frame of the alternative ONU, then, uploading the REPORT frame and the DATA frame of the common ONU, and finally, uploading the REPORT frame of the ONU.
