A better method, however, uses solid bridging, or one piece of wood placed straight between two joists, to provide the necessary support.

Bridge deck drainage requires coordinating structural and environmental issues, while keeping safety the priority.
Four-channel car audio amplifiers offer a little more versatility to mobile stereo systems over their mono and two-channel cousins. Although many choose a four-channel amp to drive their midrange and tweeter speakers in their car stereo, better units are bridgeable. This process multiplies the output of the four channels, converting them into two high-output channels. This is then used to drive a pair of subwoofers or demanding component speakers.
Wall studs have a lower insulating capacity than the insulation between the studs. As a result, these studs, whether wood or metal, can conduct heat from the interior to the exterior of the home, creating a bridge for heat loss. Thermal bridging can reduce the efficiency of wall insulation by as much as 50 percent. Careful construction techniques can help reduce this thermal bridging and make your home more energy efficient.

As part of the Adobe Creative Suite, Adobe Bridge stores XMP data in one of two places, depending on user preferences and file types.
Bridging a 1,000-watt amp follows the same procedure as any multichannel bridgeable amp. Bridging allows stereo amplifier channels to work in tandem, providing combined wattage from each channel to drive a mono speaker system. In the case of a 1,000-watt stereo amp, each amplifier channel will output 1,000 watts to the left and right channel speakers. In bridge mode, the amplifier will output 2,000 watts but will no longer operate in stereo -- a result that is desirable in many high-powered subwoofer installations or to drive full-range live concert speakers. Instructions are for a 1,000 watt stereo amp configured by…

A bridge crane is a device that lifts a load vertically and moves it horizontally on crane rails. The bridge is the component of the crane that carries the hoisting device. The crane rails, similar to railroad track rails, are the runway rails that the bridge travels on to move horizontally.

Most bridge crane manufacturers send the crane in one piece, which allows the installer to mount the crane to the rails in one operation.
