Deferred Revenue Disclosure [Abstract]  
Deferred Revenue
9. Deferred Revenue
Generally, revenue is recognized upon fulfillment of acceptance criteria at the Company's factory and transfer of risk of loss and title. Revenue is deferred whenever title transfer is pending, risk of loss has not transferred, and/or acceptance criteria have not yet been fulfilled. Deferred revenue arises from, among other factors, sales to Japanese customers, shipments of substantially new products and shipments with custom specifications and other acceptance criteria where the Company cannot demonstrate a track record of acceptance. For sales involving multiple element arrangements, the relative selling price of any undelivered elements, including installation services and similar items, is deferred until the elements are delivered and acceptance criteria are met. Revenue related to maintenance and service contracts is deferred and recognized ratably over the duration of the contracts.
The following is a reconciliation of the changes in deferred revenue:
