Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Income Taxes Our income tax expense of $9.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, primarily reflects $4.7 million of expense related to income taxes at certain of our foreign operations, $1.6 million of foreign withholding taxes, $2.9 million of deferred taxes on undistributed earnings from our investment in J-Devices and $0.3 million of state income taxes. Our income tax expense reflects income taxed in foreign jurisdictions where we benefit from tax holidays. At September 30, 2011, we had U.S. net operating loss carryforwards totaling $393.7 million, which expire at various times through 2031. Additionally, at September 30, 2011, we had $78.5 million of non-U.S. net operating loss carryforwards, the majority of which will expire at various times through 2021. We maintain a valuation allowance on all of our U.S. net deferred tax assets, including our net operating loss carryforwards. We also have valuation allowances on deferred tax assets in certain foreign jurisdictions. Such valuation allowances are released as the related tax benefits are realized on our tax returns or when sufficient net positive evidence exists to conclude it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized. Our gross unrecognized tax benefits decreased from $10.5 million at December 31, 2010, to $9.6 million as of September 30, 2011, primarily due to a $1.0 million settlement of an uncertain tax position offset by a $0.1 million increase in the reserve resulting from the evaluation of new information obtained during the nine months ended September 30, 2011. At September 30, 2011, substantially all of our unrecognized tax benefits would reduce our effective tax rate, if recognized. We are seeking rulings from local taxing authorities to confirm the availability of unrecognized tax benefits related to revenue attribution and eligibility for certain tax incentives. The rulings are currently expected within the next twelve months, at which time our unrecognized tax benefits may be reduced by up to $7.9 million. Our unrecognized tax benefits are subject to change as examinations of tax years are completed. Tax return examinations involve uncertainties, and there can be no assurances that the outcome of examinations will be favorable.
