Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	INCOME TAXES The Company’s effective tax rate was 28.0% for the three months ended April 3, 2015, compared to 27.6% for the same period of fiscal year 2014. The increase in the Company’s effective tax rate during the three months ended April 3, 2015 compared to the year ago period, was primarily due to the geographic mix of earnings impacted by the fluctuation in foreign currency exchange rates and the tax benefit from the patent litigation settlement during the second quarter of fiscal year 2014. The Company’s effective tax rate was 28.2% for the six months ended April 3, 2015, compared to 29.5% for the same period of fiscal year 2014. The Company’s effective tax rate decreased during the six months ended April 3, 2015 compared to the year ago period, primarily because the current period included the retroactive reinstatement of the federal research and development credit. The Company’s effective income tax rate differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate primarily because the Company’s foreign earnings are taxed at rates that are, on average, lower than the U.S. federal rate, and because the Company’s domestic earnings are subject to state income taxes. The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits did not materially change during the six months ended April 3, 2015; however, the amount of unrecognized tax benefits has increased as a result of positions taken during the current and prior years, and has decreased as the result of the expiration of the statutes of limitation and audit settlements in various jurisdictions.
