Cycle per second operation. Thus, one becquerel is one event per second "on average", whereas one hertz is one event per second on a regular cycle. Cycle can also be a unit for measuring usage of reciprocating machines, especially presses, in which cases "cycle" refers to one complete revolution of the mechanism being measured (i.e. the shaft of a reciprocating engine). Cycle per second The cycle per second was a once-common English name for the unit of frequency now known as the hertz (Hz). The plural form was typically used, often written cycles per second, cycles/second, c.p.s., c/s, ~, or, ambiguously, just cycles.
Shannon capacity of a graph no two of these code words can be confused with each other. By using this method, in "n" steps of communication, the sender can communicate up to 5 messages, significantly more than the 2 that could be transmitted with the simpler one-digit code. The effective number of values that can be transmitted per unit time step is (5) = . In graph-theoretic terms, this means that the Shannon capacity of the 5-cycle is at least . As showed, this bound is tight: it is not possible to find a more complicated system of code words that allows even more different
