An elevated platform above the upper deck of a mechanically propelled ship from which it is navigated and from which all activities on deck can be seen and controlled by the captain, etc; smaller ships have a wheelhouse, and sailing ships were controlled from a quarterdeck
The first officer is on the bridge.
A particular form of one hand placed on the table to support the cue when making a shot in cue sports
A cue modified with a convex arch-shaped notched head attached to the narrow end, used to support a player's (shooter's) cue for extended or tedious shots. Also called a spider
the hard ridge that forms the upper part of the nose; "her glasses left marks on the bridge of her nose"
A data communications device that connects two or more network segments and moves data between them
A device that enables you to link two networks together Bridges are smart enough to know which computers are on which side of the bridge, so they only allow those messages that need to get to the other side to cross the bridge This device improves performance on both sides of the bridge
A device to measure the resistance of a wire or other conductor forming part of an electric circuit
The piece, on string instruments, that support the strings from the sounding board
A low wall or vertical partition in the fire chamber of a furnace, for deflecting flame, etc
Device connecting two separate networks at the OSI Data Link Layer (Level Two Media Access Control Layer) Once bridging is accomplished, the bridge makes interconnected LANs look like a single LAN, passing data between the networks and filtering local traffic There are two key classifications of bridge: those supporting Spanning Tree and, for Token Ring networks, those supporting Source Routing Bridges connect networks using dissimilar protocols and do not interpret the data they carry They control network traffic and security, filtering where necessary to boost network, performance and contain sensitive data to particular LAN areas
A card game played normally with four players playing as two teams of two players each
Any of several electrical devices that measure characteristics such as impedance and inductance by balancing different parts of a circuit
serving of raise them and transmit their vibrations to the body of the instrument
Device that connects and passes packets between two network segments that use the same communications protocol Bridges operate at the data link layer (Layer 2) of the OSI reference model In general, a bridge will filter, forward, or flood an incoming frame based on the MAC address of that frame
Device that connects two or more networks together and forwards packets between them The networks may use dissimilar protocols A bridge operates at the data link layer (layer two) as opposed to a router which operates at layer three Click here for diagram of the seven layer model
