In the drawings, the equal-length broken lines depict portions of the diffuser that form no part of the claimed design. The broken lines in a dash-dot-dash pattern are boundary lines that do not exist in reality in the diffuser and are only to show bounds of the claimed design. It is understood that the claimed design extends toward the boundary lines but does not include or encompass the boundary lines.

The shading lines shown in the drawings represent the three-dimensional contour of the claimed design and are not intended to indicate surface decoration, surface ornamentation, material, texture, gloss, translucence, transparency, or surface treatment. It is further contemplated that shading can be added or removed to claim or disclaim the corresponding surfaces.

It is contemplated that any portion of one or more of the dashed lines shown in any one or more of the Figures can be converted into solid lines to form part of a claimed invention herein. Likewise, it is contemplated that any portion of one or more of the solid lines shown in any one or more of the Figures can be converted into broken lines to form no part of a claimed invention.
