peer agreement (net): +1sleep-wake cycle Explanation: That's how sleep disorder specialists call it. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 56 mins (2004-03-27 17:55:16 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- A slash (/) is also often used instead of a hyphen, i.e. \"sleep/wake cycle\" -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs 46 mins (2004-03-27 19:45:52 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Terribly sorry,I just realized your question has to do with electronics. In that case, let me suggest \"active-idle cycles\" |

15 hrs confidence:
stand-by / active cycles Explanation: Although I think all the 'sleep/wake' suggestions are OK too, they still sound just a bit odd to my ears. Domestic electronic (and other) equipment is referred to as being 'en veille' when we would say 'in stand-by', and the power consumption of mobile phones etc. is often quoted for operating / stand-by, so I think this is quite a good way round the danger of being TOO literal. 'Stand-by' is VERY widely used in electronics etc. |
