Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]  
FAIR VALUE MEASURMENTS FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Accounting standards establish three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value: quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (referred to as Level 1), inputs other than Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly (referred to as Level 2) and unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of fair value of assets or liabilities (referred to as Level 3).
Assets and Liabilities Measured and Recorded at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis 
We measure certain financial assets and liabilities as described in Note 4: Cash, Cash Equivalents, And Short-term Investments, Note 5: Equity Investments on a recurring basis. There were no transfers between fair value measurement levels during the three and six months ended April 4, 2026 and October 4, 2025.
Fair Value Measurements on a Nonrecurring Basis
Our non-financial assets such as intangible assets and property, plant and equipment are carried at cost unless impairment is deemed to have occurred.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Amounts reported as accounts receivables, prepaid expenses and other current assets, investment in debt securities, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value.
