A method and apparatus for supporting a rotor in a free state with respect to a stator with superconducting bearings. At least two of the divided sub-field plates are connected to external circuits for reading their respective output voltages. The elements are generally parallel to each other. The processing unit therefore halts communications with the mobile terminals in accordance with the utilization condition and utilization-admission condition. A second phone call is placed to the destination phone number if it is within the member’s COS. The bearing elements provide for movement about the horizontal axis transverse to a direction of travel andor movement about the vertical axes of the bearing elements, and also provide for connection to the gliding members.
