Fair Value Measurements [Abstract]

Fair Value Measurements

NOTE 4 FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Company's financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, pension assets not owned by plan, short-term borrowings and long-term debt. The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents and lines of credit included in short-term borrowings approximate fair value due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. The fair values of marketable securities and pension assets not owned by plan were estimated based on quoted market prices. The fair value of the Company's convertible subordinated notes was estimated based on the current rates for similar issues or on the current rates offered to the Company for debt of similar remaining maturities. Such notes were included in short-term borrowings as of October 1, 2011 and in long-term debt as of January 1, 2011. Long-term debt as of October 1, 2011 consisted of private placement bonds issued through a Japanese bank and various loans with Austrian financial institutions. The fair value of long-term debt was estimated based on current rates in Japan and Austria, respectively, for debt with similar maturities.

The estimated fair values of the Company's financial instruments were as follows:

ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, requires that for any assets and liabilities stated at fair value on a recurring basis in the Company's financial statements, the fair value of such assets and liabilities be measured based on the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Level 1 asset and liability values are derived from quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities and Level 2 asset and liability values are derived from quoted prices in inactive markets. The Company's assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis are categorized in the table below based upon their level within the fair value hierarchy.
