I was wondering what is the difference between the Yoshinkan Aikido Ryu and Yoshinkan Aikido? Is the emphasis different?

Ando Sensei's group is called "Yoshinkan Aikido Ryu" and he has numerous dojo within his group. He is a member of the Yoshinkan and was an instructor at the Honbu dojo until he left about 12 years ago to start his own dojo(s).
The dojo within the "Yoshinkan Aikido Ryu" group are yoshinkan dojo, but direct their affiliation through Ando Sensei rather than directly through the Honbu.
