연합인증

연합인증 가입 기관의 연구자들은 소속기관의 인증정보(ID와 암호)를 이용해 다른 대학, 연구기관, 서비스 공급자의 다양한 온라인 자원과 연구 데이터를 이용할 수 있습니다.

이는 여행자가 자국에서 발행 받은 여권으로 세계 각국을 자유롭게 여행할 수 있는 것과 같습니다.

연합인증으로 이용이 가능한 서비스는 NTIS, DataON, Edison 등이 있습니다.

한번의 인증절차만으로 연합인증 가입 서비스에 추가 로그인 없이 이용이 가능합니다.

다만, 연합인증을 위해서는 최초 1회만 인증 절차가 필요합니다. (회원이 아닐 경우 회원 가입이 필요합니다.)

연합인증 절차는 다음과 같습니다.

최초이용시에는
ScienceON에 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 로그인 (본인 확인 또는 회원가입) → 서비스 이용

그 이후에는
ScienceON 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 서비스 이용

연합인증을 활용하시면 KISTI가 제공하는 다양한 서비스를 편리하게 이용하실 수 있습니다.

The system of claim 1 wherein at least one of the at least two modular components comprises a cooling drawer adapted to be slidably mounted within the at least one recess of the housing and interconnected to the power source. 9. The system of claim 1 wherein at least one of the at least two modular components comprises a refrigerator adapted to be mounted within the at least one recess of the housing and interconnected to the power source. 10. The system of claim 1 wherein at least one of the at least two modular components comprises a cooler adapted to be mounted within the at least one recess of the housing. 11. The system of claim 1 and further comprising an entertainment system mounted to the housing and interconnected to the power source for providing entertainment to users of the system. 12. The system of claim 1 and further comprising an audio entertainment system mounted to the housing and interconnected to the power source for providing audible entertainment to users of the system. 13. The system of claim 1 and further comprising a video entertainment system mounted to the housing and interconnected to the power source for providing visible entertainment to users of the system. 14. The system of claim 1 wherein the housing is divided into a warm zone and a cool zone, wherein the warm zone is heated by a temperature increaser, and wherein the cool zone is cooled by a temperature decreaser. 15. The system of claim 14 and wherein an insulation layer separates the warm and cool zones. 16. The system of claim 1 and further comprising a sink mounted to the housing. 17. The system of claim 16 and further comprising at least one fresh water tank mounted to the housing for dispensing fresh water into the sink. 18. The system of claim 17 wherein t he fresh water tank is in fluid communication with a warm zone within the housing to heat water dispensed from the tank into the sink. 19. The system of claim 18 and further comprising a water heater mounted to the housing to heat water dispensed from the tank into the sink. 20. The system of claim 1 and further comprising a sink mounted to the housing and at least one fresh water tank mounted to the housing for dispensing fresh water into the sink. 21.
