Notes to Financial Statements
Fair Value Disclosures [Text Block]	2. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability ( i.e Fair value measurements are broken down into three levels based on the reliability of inputs as follows: Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date. An active market for the asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability ( e.g. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. Unobservable inputs are used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available, thereby allowing for situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date. The fair value of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable approximate their carrying value due to their short-term nature. Certain assets and liabilities of the Company are required to be recorded at fair value on either a recurring or non-recurring basis. On a recurring basis, the Company records its marketable securities at fair value using Level 1 or Level 2 inputs. (See Note 3). The Company’s non-financial assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis include goodwill and any long-lived assets written down to fair value. To measure fair value of such assets, the Company uses Level 3 inputs consisting of techniques including an income approach and a market approach. The income approach is based on a discounted cash flow analysis and calculates the fair value by estimating the after-tax cash flows attributable to a reporting unit and then discounting the after-tax cash flows to a present value using a risk-adjusted discount rate. Assumptions used in the discounted cash flow analysis require the exercise of significant judgment, including judgment about appropriate discount rates, terminal values, growth rates and the amount and timing of expected future cash flows. With respect to goodwill, the Company first assesses qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that fair value is less than carrying value. If, based on that assessment, the Company believes it is more likely than not that fair value is less than carrying value, a goodwill impairment test is performed.

Storm Damage Charges [Text Block[	11. STORM DAMAGE CHARGE The Company recorded a charge of $1,052 for storm damage in the 13 weeks ended June 2, 2024. On May 19, 2024, the Company’s manufacturing facilities in Newton, Kansas were damaged by a strong storm which transitioned the area. None of the Company’s manufacturing lines or equipment were damaged by the storm. Although the building structures are secure, the roofs on all three buildings in the Company’s Newton, Kansas campus will ultimately need to be replaced. Also, multiple specialty HVAC units were damaged or destroyed. These specialty HVAC units are necessary to control the temperature and humidity in certain manufacturing areas, quality laboratories and R&D laboratories, which is required by certain specifications and certifications the Company is subject to. The Company is currently working with multiple contractors on site and the insurance company in order to fully assess the damage and the remediation options. Although the Company is still in the process of assessing the situation, the Company’s production lines were returned to full production within two weeks of the storm. The Company is employing certain temporary measures in order to return its production lines to full service, including the use of temporary HVAC equipment, but it will take the Company several months to permanently repair or replace all of the damaged facilities and infrastructure equipment. The Company does not anticipate the loss of any sales for the 2025 fiscal year, however, $1.8 million of sales could not be delivered before the end of the first quarter ended June 2, 2024 due to storm related delays. The Company expects these delayed shipments will be delivered during the Company’s second quarter ended September 1, 2024. The Company paid its employees for the days immediately following the storm despite many not being able to work while others worked on the clean-up of the storm damage to the facilities. The Company incurred $78 of payroll and related costs for lost production time and employees working on clean-up. The charge recorded by the Company includes an asset damage charge, emergency services by outside contractors, rental of temporary HVAC units and the cost of employee downtime or time spent on the clean-up of the storm damage to the facilities. Additional costs will be recorded in future periods as additional work is needed and performed and for on-going rental of temporary HVAC units.

Notes to Financial Statements
Contingencies Disclosure [Text Block]	12. CONTINGENCIES Litigation The Company is subject to a small number of immaterial proceedings, lawsuits and other claims related to environmental, employment, product and other matters. The Company is required to assess the likelihood of any adverse judgments or outcomes in these matters as well as potential ranges of probable losses. A determination of the amount of reserves required, if any, for these contingencies is made after careful analysis of each individual issue. The required reserves may change in the future due to new developments in each matter or changes in approach, such as a change in settlement strategy in dealing with these matters. The Company believes that the ultimate disposition of such proceedings, lawsuits and claims will not have a material adverse effect on the liquidity, capital resources, business, consolidated results of operations or financial position of the Company. Environmental Contingencies The Company and certain of its subsidiaries have been named by the Environmental Protection Agency (the “EPA”) or a comparable state agency under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (the “Superfund Act”) or similar state law as potentially responsible parties in connection with alleged releases of hazardous substances at three sites. Under the Superfund Act and similar state laws, all parties who may have contributed any waste to a hazardous waste disposal site or contaminated area identified by the EPA or comparable state agency may be jointly and severally liable for the cost of cleanup. Generally, these sites are locations at which numerous persons disposed of hazardous waste. In the case of the Company’s subsidiaries, generally the waste was removed from their manufacturing facilities and disposed at waste sites by various companies which contracted with the subsidiaries to provide waste disposal services. Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries have been accused of or charged with any wrongdoing or illegal acts in connection with any such sites. The Company believes it maintains an effective and comprehensive environmental compliance program. The insurance carriers which provided general liability insurance coverage to the Company and its subsidiaries for the years during which the Company’s subsidiaries’ waste was disposed at these three sites have in the past reimbursed the Company and its subsidiaries for 100% of their legal defense and remediation costs associated with two The Company does not two three Included in selling, general and administrative expenses are charges for actual expenditures and accruals, based on estimates, for certain environmental matters described above. The Company accrues estimated costs associated with known environmental matters when such costs can be reasonably estimated and when the outcome appears probable. The Company believes that the ultimate disposition of known environmental matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or financial position.
