Subsequent Events [Abstract]
Subsequent Events	Subsequent EventsOn August 24, 2021, we entered into an agreement to acquire NDC Technologies (NDC), a leading global provider of precision measurement solutions for in-line manufacturing process control. NDC's technology portfolio includes in-line measurement sensors, gauges and analyzers using near-infrared, laser, X-ray, optical and nucleonic technologies, as well as proprietary algorithms and software. The acquisition, which was completed on November 1, 2021, expanded our test and inspection platform and will be reported in our Advanced Technology Solutions segment. The all-cash transaction of approximately $180,000 was funded using cash from operations and is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

The entire disclosure for significant events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date through the date the financial statements were issued or the date the financial statements were available to be issued. Examples include: the sale of a capital stock issue, purchase of a business, settlement of litigation, catastrophic loss, significant foreign exchange rate changes, loans to insiders or affiliates, and transactions not in the ordinary course of business.
