Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Income Taxes The Company regularly reviews its tax positions in each significant taxing jurisdiction in the process of evaluating its unrecognized tax benefits. The Company makes adjustments to its unrecognized tax benefits when: (i) facts and circumstances regarding a tax position change, causing a change in management’s judgment regarding that tax position; (ii) a tax position is effectively settled with a tax authority; and/or (iii) the statute of limitations expires regarding a tax position. At July 1, 2012, the Company had gross tax effected unrecognized tax benefits of $47.8 million, of which $40.9 million, if recognized, would affect the continuing operations effective tax rate. The remaining amount, if recognized, would affect discontinued operations. At July 1, 2012, the Company had uncertain tax positions of $8.8 million, including accrued interest, net of tax benefits and penalties, which are expected to be resolved within the next year. A portion of the uncertain tax positions could affect the continuing operations effective tax rate depending on the ultimate resolution; however, the Company cannot quantify an estimated range at this time. The Company is subject to U.S. federal income tax as well as to income tax of numerous state and foreign jurisdictions. Tax years ranging from 2003 through 2011 remain open to examination by various tax jurisdictions in which the Company has significant business operations, such as China, Finland, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Singapore, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The tax years under examination vary by jurisdiction. As a result of the Caliper acquisition, the Company concluded that certain foreign operations did not require the same level of capital as previously expected, and therefore the Company plans to repatriate approximately $350.0 million of previously unremitted earnings and has provided for the estimated taxes on the repatriation of those earnings. As a result of the planned repatriation, the Company recorded an increase to the Company’s tax provision of $79.7 million in continuing operations in fiscal year 2011. The Company expects to utilize tax attributes, primarily those acquired in the Caliper acquisition, to minimize the cash taxes paid on the repatriation. As of July 1, 2012, the Company had completed the repatriation of $229.2 million of the $350.0 million of these previously unremitted earnings. The Company continues to maintain its permanent reinvestment assertion with regard to the remaining unremitted earnings of its foreign subsidiaries, and therefore does not accrue U.S. tax for the repatriation of its remaining unremitted foreign earnings.
