The time in which cross bridges are active during muscle contraction is called the "cross-bridge cycle." This cycle involves the binding of myosin heads to actin filaments, power stroke generation, and detachment of the cross bridges.
The cross-bridge must bind to ATP in order to disconnect from actin. When ATP binds to the cross-bridge, it allows for the power stroke to occur, leading to the dissociation of the cross-bridge from actin.
During muscle contraction, the cross-bridge power stroke occurs when myosin heads bind to actin filaments and then pivot or "power stroke," pulling the actin filaments towards the center of the sarcomere. This action causes the muscle fibers to shorten, resulting in overall muscle contraction.

The power stroke of the cross bridge which binds ATP disconnecting it from the actin.
ATP is split into ADP and Pi during the cocking stage of the cross-bridge cycle, which is also known as the power stroke preparation phase. This occurs after myosin heads bind to actin and prior to the power stroke.
ATP hydrolysis occurs during the cocking stage of the cross bridge cycle, where the myosin head is cocked back into its high-energy position before it can bind to actin and perform the power stroke.
Bridge Mill Power Plant was created in 1893.
Power House Covered Bridge was created in 1872.
Bridge diodes are generally used in a bridge rectifier to convert AC into DC.
