Income Taxes [Abstract]
Income Taxes	15. Income Taxes The process for calculating our income tax expense involves estimating actual current taxes due plus assessing temporary differences arising from differing treatment for tax and accounting purposes that are recorded as deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets are periodically evaluated to determine their recoverability. The total net deferred tax assets at September 29, 2011 and December 31, 2010 were $77.2 and $94.5, respectively. We file income tax returns in all jurisdictions in which we operate. We established reserves to provide for additional income taxes that may be due in future years as these previously filed tax returns are audited. These reserves have been established based on management's assessment as to the potential exposure attributable to permanent differences and associated interest. All tax reserves are analyzed quarterly and adjustments made as events occur that warrant modification. In general, the Company records income tax expense each quarter based on its best estimate as to the full year's effective tax rate. Certain items, however, are given discrete period treatment and the tax effects for such items are therefore reported in the quarter that an event arises. Events or items that give rise to discrete recognition include finalizing amounts in income tax returns filed, finalizing audit examinations for open tax years, and an expiring statute of limitations. We continue to operate under a tax holiday in Malaysia effective through September 2024. During the current quarter, management established a reserve for potential uncertainty in meeting the tax holiday's conditional employment and investment thresholds. The 31.0% effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 29, 2011 differs from the 28.5% effective tax rate for the same period in 2010 primarily due to favorably settling the 2005 and 2006 U.S. Federal examinations last year and establishing a reserve this year for the prior years' Malaysia tax holiday benefit, partially offset by the U.S. Research Credit reinstated in the fourth quarter last year. The Internal Revenue Service is currently examining the Company's 2008 and 2009 U.S. Federal income tax returns and we are participating in the Compliance Assurance Process (“CAP”) program for our 2011 tax year. The CAP program's objective is to resolve issues in a timely, contemporaneous manner and eliminate the need for a lengthy post-filing examination. HM Revenue & Customs is currently examining our 2008 U.K. income tax return. While a change could result from the ongoing examinations, the Company expects no material change in its recorded unrecognized tax benefit liability in the next 12 months.

The process for calculating our income tax expense involves estimating actual current taxes due plus assessing temporary differences arising from differing treatment for tax and accounting purposes that are recorded as deferred tax assets and liabilities.
