The bridge of a ship is an area or room where the ship's navigational controls and other essential equipment related to ship operations are housed and operated. It is so called because it once was a bridge between paddlewheel housings on either side of early steamboats. This new vantage point was deemed so convenient that it was retained after the paddlewheels were superseded.

In popular music a bridge is a contrasting section which also prepares for the return of the original material or section. The bridge may be the middle--eight in a thirty-two-bar form (the B in AABA), or it may be used more loosely in verse-chorus form, or, in a compound AABA form, used as a contrast to a full AABA section, as in "Every Breath You Take".

Contract bridge, usually known simply as Bridge, is a trick-taking card game for four players who form two partnerships, or "sides". The partners on each side sit opposite one another. Game play is in two phases: bidding and playing.

A bridge is the part of a guitar, bass or other stringed instrument where the strings join the body of the instrument. There are many different guitar bridge designs, some of which are fairly cumbersome. However, many benefit from modern design, manufacturing techniques, and materials.

One major problem that has plagued graph theory since its inception is the lack of consistency in terminology. This page will try to keep current with some of the latest trends, however, you can be assured that some people will always use some different notations or the same term with different meanings.

----A bridge is a device for supporting the strings on a stringed instrument and transmitting the vibration of those strings to some other structural component of the instrument that amplifies the sound. Most stringed instruments produce their sound through the application of energy to the string, which sets them into vibratory motion. The strings alone, however, produce only a faint sound because they displace only a small volume of air as they vibrate. ...

In videoconferencing vernacular, a bridge connects three or more conference sites so that they can simultaneously pass data, voice, or video. Videoconferencing bridges are often called MCU's - multipoint conferencing units. (See router).

A device that connects two LANs (local-area networks) or two segments of the same LAN.Unlike routers, bridges are protocol-independent. They simply forward packets without analyzing and re-routing messages. Consequently, they are faster than routers, but also less versatile.

A bridge is a multi-homed host that operates at layer 2 of the OSI model. Bridges connect two networks, usually of the same type. A bridge is somewhat smarter than a simple repeater, in that it can make decisions about moving data from one network to the other. Some bridges even reach up into layers 3 and 4 (traditional router and gateway territory) to add even more intelligence; these smarter devices are sometimes called "brouters."

A data communications device that connects two or more networks of compatible protocols. Multipoint Control Unit ( MCU ) that can link several videoconferencing systems for multipoint calls.
www.expeditevcs.com/terms.htm
A data communications device that connects two or more network segments and forwards packets between them. It also amplifies the carrier signal, and accepts data packets, (perhaps buffering them during periods of network congestion) and forwards them.
www.globalcrossing.com/xml/network/net_glossary.xml
A device that passes packets between multiple network segments using the same communications protocol. If a packet is destined for a user within the sender's own network segment, the bridge keeps the packet local. If the packet is bound for another segment, the bridge passes the packet onto the network backbone.
