Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	INCOME TAXES The Company’s effective tax rate from continuing operations for the three-month period ended March 31, 2017 was 17.3% as compared to 25.2% for the three-month period ended April 1, 2016. The Company’s effective tax rate for 2017 and 2016 differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35.0% due principally to the Company’s earnings outside the United States that are indefinitely reinvested and taxed at rates lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate. The excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation and the release of reserves upon the expiration of statutes of limitations, partially offset by recording valuation allowances on certain foreign operating losses decreased the reported tax rate for the three-month period ended March 31, 2017 by 3.2%. The gain on the sale of marketable equity securities during the first quarter of 2016 resulted in a 4.9% increase in the reported tax rate on a year-over-year basis for the three-month period ended April 1, 2016. Tax authorities in Denmark have raised significant issues related to interest accrued by certain of the Company’s subsidiaries. On December 10, 2013, the Company received assessments from the Danish tax authority (“SKAT”) totaling approximately DKK 1.4 billion including interest through March 31, 2017 (approximately $203 million based on the exchange rate as of March 31, 2017), imposing withholding tax relating to interest accrued in Denmark on borrowings from certain of the Company’s subsidiaries for the years 2004-2009. The Company is currently in discussions with SKAT and anticipates receiving an assessment for years 2010-2012 totaling approximately DKK 833 million including interest through March 31, 2017 (approximately $120 million based on the exchange rate as of March 31, 2017).
