Abstract: A system and method to regulate an energy consumption of a medical device having a plurality of subsystems is provided. The system includes a controller connected in communication with the medical device. The controller has a series of program instructions for execution by a processor to perform the steps of calculating a predicted variability in a customer load on the medical device over a future time period. The controller can generate a signal with an instruction of a demand for one of a plurality of operating states of the medical device based on the predicted customer load, and communicate the signal to the device so as to change the operating state of the medical device.

Abstract: An air inlet diffuser 10 is disclosed for attachment relative to an air inlet opening 106 of an electronics enclosure 100. The diffuser 10 extends into the electronics enclosure 100 and provides an increased surface area through which EMI attenuating apertures may be formed. The diffuser 10 also reduces the amount of structure that is disposed within the air inlet opening 106 thereby reducing impedance to airflow through the opening 106 into the enclosure 100. The increased surface are of the diffuser 10 allows for increasing the number of EMI attenuating apertures that may be utilized for a given inlet opening 106. In one embodiment, the total open area of the EMI apertures is greater than the open area of the air inlet opening. In such an embodiment, the EMI apertures provide low impedance to airflow through the diffuser 10 and increased airflow in conjunction with EMI attenuation may be realized.
