  cycle - definition by dict.die.net
The number of cycles (per second) is a measure of the frequency of an alternating current.
An imaginary circle or orbit in the heavens; one of the celestial spheres.
The use of the term "cycle" for a computer clock period can probably be traced back to the rotation of a generator generating alternating current though computers generally use a clock signal which is more like a square wave.

 Cycle per second - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cycle per second was a once-common unit of frequency.
Nonetheless, the change is not without its critics, who argue that the Hertz should be redefined as simply a renaming of the cycle/second it displaced, rather than as the reciprocal second.
Since SI has adopted the radian as its preferred but dimensionless unit of angle, but left its explicit writing discretionary in unit combinations, the radian/second has perhaps a better claim than the cycle/second to being equivalent to the reciprocal second.

 Audio Glossary
The higher the frequency (the more cycles per second), the higher in pitch a sound is to our ears.
Hertz is a unit of frequency (of change in state or cycle in a sound wave, alternating current, or other cyclical waveform) of one cycle per second.
In developing an audio sound for computers or telecommunication, the sample rate is the number of samples of a sound that are taken per second to represent the event digitally.

Cycle speed is different from shooting speed because the bolt has to be open long enough to drop a ball.
Now, the default timing I was using equalled almost exactly ten complete cycles per second- meaning it took not quite 100ms to release the sear, wait, push the block back, wait, and bring the block forward.
Theoretically, it worked, but it would cycle once so fast that there would be no time at all for the ball to feed.

Period is obtained by dividing one second by the number of cycles per second (frequency).
For example: if the frequency is 1Mhz (one million cycles per second), the period will be one-millionth of a second (1 microsecond).

 Define Hz - Hertz
Meaning of Hz - "Hertz", is a unit of frequency (of change in state or cycle in a sound wave, alternating current, or other cyclical waveform) of one cycle per second.
It replaces the earlier term of "cycle per second (cps)." For example, in the United States, common house electrical supply is at 60 hertz (meaning the current changes direction or polarity 120 times, or 60 cycles, a second).
The SI unit of frequency, equal to one cycle per second.

If you could do this steadily, through-and-back once per second, then you would naturally be generating waves at a frequency of one cycle per second.
Visible light waves oscillate many trillions of times per second, and a major new way to communicate is to send laser beams through many miles of optical fiber.
It is certainly easier to say "five hundred megahertz" than "five hundred megacycles per second", and considering how valuable we find the consequences of his initial detection of electromagnetic waves, the honor has been well earned.

 Alternating Current in Wire and Cable - Introduction   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
Frequency - The image above is considered 1 Cycle, and assuming that the wave ends on the time axis at 1 second, this current would be said to be flowing through wire and cable at one cycle per second.
This means that as the current is flowing through a copper wire and cable, it is going through this cycle 60 times every second - too fast to be observed by the human eye.
If there were a 1 cycle per second alternating current flowing through the copper wires in your home, you would notice light bulbs going to full brightness, then going off once every second.

For an oscillating or varying current, frequency is the number of complete cycles per second in alternating current direction.
If a current completes one cycle per second, then the frequency is 1 Hz; 60 cycles per second equals 60 Hz (the standard alternating-current utility frequency).
Hz (hertz) is a unit of electromagnetic frequency (of change in state or cycle in alternating current) of one cycle per second.

That is, the LED pulse is "on" for 0.5 seconds and "off" for 0.5 seconds versus the 2 ten-millionths of a second burst from laser at 1 cycle per second (1hz).
Moreover, LED is "on" 50% of the time and "off" 50% of the time regardless of what frequency setting (pulses per second) is used.
Even in the case of lasers that claim a peak output of 10 watts, because of the very short duty cycle, the average output at the highest frequencies is of the order of about 10 milliwatts.
