Income Tax Disclosure [Text Block]	Note 3 – Income Taxes and Uncertain Income Tax Positions The Company's year-to-date 2011 effective tax rate of 25.7% was lower than the year-to-date 2010 effective tax rate of 27.3%. Both year-to-date effective tax rates reflect the derecognition of uncertain tax positions due the expiration of applicable statutes of limitations for certain tax years of approximately $0.11 per diluted share. The most significant other item affecting the comparison of year-to-date effective tax rates is a higher utilization of foreign tax credits in 2011 which were previously not benefited. The FASB's guidance regarding accounting for uncertainty in income taxes prescribes the recognition threshold and measurement attributes for financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. The guidance further requires the determination of whether the benefits of tax positions will be more likely than not sustained upon audit based upon the technical merits of the tax position. For tax positions that are determined to be more likely than not sustained upon audit, a company recognizes the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement in the financial statements. For tax positions that are not determined to be more likely than not sustained upon audit, a company does not recognize any portion of the benefit in the financial statements. Additionally, the guidance provides for derecognition, classification, penalties and interest, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. At December 31, 2010, the Company's cumulative liability for gross unrecognized tax benefits was $10,464. As of June 30, 2011, the Company's cumulative liability for gross unrecognized tax benefits was $11,282. The Company continues to recognize interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax positions as a component of taxes on income in its Consolidated Statement of Income. The Company had accrued $1,824 for cumulative interest and $857 for cumulative penalties at December 31, 2010. The Company has recognized $184 and $59 for interest and $145 and $424 for penalties on its Consolidated Statement of Income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, and, as of June 30, 2011, the Company had accrued $2,008 for cumulative interest and $1,336 for cumulative penalties. During the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Company derecognized uncertain tax positions due to expiration of the applicable statutes of limitations for certain tax years. As a result, the Company recognized a $922 decrease in its cumulative liability for gross unrecognized tax benefits. During the three months ended June 30, 2011, the Company derecognized several uncertain tax positions due to the liquidation of the Company's subsidiary in Wuxi China for certain tax years of approximately $36. The Company estimates that during the year ending December 31, 2011 it will reduce its cumulative liability for gross unrecognized tax benefits by approximately $1,400 to $1,600 due to the expiration of the statute of limitations with regard to certain tax positions. This estimated reduction in the cumulative liability for unrecognized tax benefits does not consider any increase in liability for unrecognized tax benefits with regard to existing tax positions or any increase in cumulative liability for unrecognized tax benefits with regard to new tax positions for the year ending December 31, 2011. The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to U.S. Federal income tax, as well as the income tax of various state and foreign tax jurisdictions. Tax years that remain subject to examination by major tax jurisdictions include the Netherlands from 2005, United Kingdom, Italy, Brazil, and Spain from 2006, China and the United States from 2007 and various domestic state tax jurisdictions from 1993.
