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, Kafe, Webinar 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 apparatus of claim 8, wherein in response to a selection of the task input the controller controls the valve to provide water having a predetermined temperature and a predetermined flow rate, the predetermined temperature and the predetermined flow rate corresponding to the task. 10. The apparatus of claim 9, wherein the spout includes a diverter valve in fluid communication with the first fluid conduit and the second fluid conduit and having a first position corresponding to a stream flow pattern and a second position corresponding to a spray flow pattern. 11. The apparatus of claim 10, wherein the controller actuates the diverter valve to position the diverter valve in a predetermined position corresponding to one of the first position and the second position, the predetermined position corresponding to the task. 12. The apparatus of claim 11, wherein the task input corresponds to washing foodstuffs and the graphical icon includes a graphic of foodstuffs. 13. The apparatus of claim 11, wherein the task input corresponds to washing human hands and the graphical icon includes a graphic of at least one hand. 14. The apparatus of claim 11, wherein the task input corresponds to washing kitchenwares and the graphical icon includes a graphic of at least one kitchenware. 15. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the remote user interface provides the controller with a user specified quantity of fluid to be delivered by the spout. 16. The apparatus of claim 15, wherein the remote user interface includes an amount input and a units input. 17. The apparatus of claim 15, wherein the controller adjusts the flow rate based on the quantity of fluid to be delivered by the spout. 18.
