Abstract: A disc brake master cylinder bite point adjustment assembly is provided. A bite point adjustment knob is mounted on the top of a master cylinder reservoir housing which allows a rider to set a brake lever position to a bite point that the brake lever feels solid to the rider. The bite point is adjusted by changing an axial direction stopping point of the master cylinder piston when the brake lever is released. The rotatable bite point adjustment knob includes multiple detent positions for the rider to engage.

Abstract: A disc brake caliper with a structural rib is provided. The disc brake caliper includes a disc brake caliper body having a leading mounting boss and a trailing mounting boss. The disc brake caliper body is configured to couple over a rotor of a vehicle. The disc brake body also includes a structural rib extending from the trailing mounting boss to the disc brake caliper body in a location adjacent to a trailing piston portion of the disc brake caliper body. In use, the disc brake caliper may be coupled to a rotor of a vehicle. In response to activating the disc brake during rotation of the rotor the disc brake caliper with structural rib reduces deflection of the inner trailing piston portion of the disc brake caliper body in comparison to a disc brake caliper without a structural rib.

Abstract: An air purging disc brake master cylinder assembly is provided. A master cylinder reservoir housing is oriented vertically relative to the disc brake master cylinder assembly. A bladder cap member is secured to a bladder member and the bladder member is received within the master cylinder reservoir housing. A bleed threaded aperture is provided in the bladder cap member in order to allow accumulated air bubbles in the master cylinder reservoir housing to escape to the atmosphere. A vent hole is also provided in the bladder cap member allowing direct communication of outside air within the bladder member.

Abstract: A monoblock disc brake caliper is provided. The monoblock disc brake caliper includes an inner portion, an outer portion, and a crossover portion formed between the inner portion and the outer portion. The inner portion, the outer portion and the crossover portion are formed as a single, unitary body. The monoblock disc brake caliper further includes a transfer port aperture formed in the crossover portion located at a centerline of the monoblock disc brake caliper. The monoblock disc brake caliper further includes an inner transfer port extending from the transfer port aperture to an inner piston bore and an outer transfer port extending from the transfer port aperture to an outer piston bore. The monoblock disc brake caliper further includes a transfer port plug that is coupled to the transfer port aperture to seal the transfer ports with a single plug.

Abstract: A disc brake with a heel control seal gland is provided. The disc brake includes a heel control seal gland formed in a piston bore, wherein the heel control seal gland includes a narrow gland portion and a wide gland portion. The disc brake further includes a piston seal coupled within the heel control seal gland. A heel of the piston seal is coupled within the narrow gland portion. The narrow gland portion has a width sized to the heel of the piston seal width with additional clearance. Also, the width of the narrow gland portion is less than the width of the wide gland portion. The heel control seal gland controls axial movement of the piston seal and the piston in a direction away from the rotor caused by warpage of the brake rotor applying a force on the piston away from the rotor.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure include a tokenless, network-attached, multi-factor authentication software based electronic access control logon system and methods of use thereof, and may provide equivalent in security to a Public Key Infrastructure smart card system. The logon system may allow tokenless, but authorized, entities to access secure systems, with the secure logon system not requiring placement of individual or organization identifying information on a physical object that may be removed from a restricted location. Aspects of the present disclosure may include maintaining user credentials within individually encrypted credential bins within a Credential Hardware Security Module (HSM) that is securely accessible by authorized endpoints in a distributed network.
