Special sensors are installed at hard- to-reach high-altitude locations. The in- formation gathered with them is transmitted automatically via radio communication chan- nels into the computer of the avalanche station. All measurements are made accord- ing to a special program, which is entered into a personal computer. The information is processed and transmitted by telephone to the Tashkent Hydrometeorology Center for subsequent analysis and compilation of weather forecasts. "Ruta" is a new generation of the "TM-910 Lavina" telemetry complex. The complex has proved itself well in the ava- lanche service, in collecting diverse hy- drological information and in the elimina- tion of the consequences of the Chernobyl] accident. The main advantage of "Ruta" is its versatility. The system makes it possible to conduct measurements without human par- ticipation in difficult conditions and to obtain information for 3,000 square kilome- ters.

Its radiating “surface was designed in the shape of a hand, Every radiator on it is connected to a computer, into which a specific program has been entered. What kind [of program]? Changes in the radiation parameters of the fields in my hand during the treatment of particular diseases have been measured, and this is what became the basis of the com- puter's 'mind.' Thus, when the necessary operating conditions have been specified, the robot extrasensory will in some cases be able to take my place." (A photograph of Dzhuna is given.)
