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.
Hartley (unit) digit, a ban corresponds to a decimal digit. A deciban is one tenth of a ban; the name is formed from "ban" by the SI prefix "deci-". One hartley corresponds to log(10) bit = ln(10) nat, or approximately 3.322 Sh, or 2.303 nat. A deciban is about 0.332 Sh. Though not an SI unit, the hartley is part of the International System of Quantities, defined by International Standard IEC 80000-13 of the International Electrotechnical Commission. It is named after Ralph Hartley. The term "hartley" is named after Ralph Hartley, who suggested in 1928 to measure information using a logarithmic base
