Tyco is a good old fashioned conglomerate with a very modern hard edge coupled with an unwavering eye on increasing cash flow instead of merely smoothing business beta.

Among the faucets and controllers, it has acquired a couple of medical companies, US Surgical the most prominent. I don't think Tyco brass likes the drug development business--since cash flow is usually the reverse of what they have promised their shareholders. They quickly unloaded USS's speculations and partnerships (for example, returning the xeno/alpha-gal JV to alxn).

I can't believe Tyco gives a flying frito about ptn. What do you hear of their involvement?
