A furniture system is particularly adapted to support group activities in open plans, and the like. A plurality of columns support an overhead framework on the floor of a building in a freestanding fashion at a predetermined elevation, generally above average user height. A plurality of individual panels are provided, wherein each panel is constructed to permit easy, manual, bodily translation of the same by an adult user. A hanger arrangement is associated with the overhead framework, and cooperates with connectors on the panels to detachably suspend the panels at various locations along the overhead framework. The panels are manually reconfigurable between many different arrangements to efficiently and effectively support different group activities. Preferably, the panels are capable of providing a partitioning function to visually divide at least a portion of the workspace, and/or a display function to facilitate group communications.

A method according to claim 2, wherein said at least one feeder comprises a connected feeder which additionally includes a connecting device connecting between the main portion and the component-holding portion, and wherein the step of moving the movable table comprises moving, with the movable table, the main portion along said line such that the component-holding portion follows the main portion while the connecting device allows the center of gravity of the component-holding portion and the circuit components held thereby to be moved relative to the main portion in a direction substantially parallel to said line. 4. A method according to claim 3, wherein the feeders comprise a plurality of said connected feeders, wherein the method further comprises a step of combining the respective component-holding portions of the connected feeders to each other, wherein the step of causing comprises causing the movable table and the respective main portions of the connected feeders to be moved at said first acceleration and said first deceleration, and wherein the step of allowing comprises allowing the combined component-holding portions of the connected feeders and the circuit components held by the combined component-holding portions to be moved at said second acceleration and said second deceleration which are lower than said first acceleration and said first deceleration, respectively. 5. A method according to claim 4, further comprising a step of reducing, with a damping device, a speed of the movement of the combined component-holding portions of the connected feeders and the circuit components held by the combined component-holding portions relative to the respective main portions of the connected feeders. 6. A method according to claim 4, wherein the step of combining comprises setting, in an upward open bucket, the respective component-holding portions of the connected feeders. 7. A method according to claim 2, wherein the step of allowing comprises allowing the component-holding portion of said at least one feeder and the circuit components held thereby to be moved at a substantially constant speed while the main portion of said at least one feeder is moved and intermittently stopped. 8. A method according to claim 2, wherein the step of moving the movable table comprises moving, with the movable table, the main portion along said line such that a whole of the component-holding portion is substantially parallel-translatable relative to the main portion in said direction substantially parallel to said line. 9. A method according to claim 2, wherein the step of storing the circuit components comprises winding tape carrying the circuit components around a reel, and setting the reel in a reel-holding portion as the component-holding portion of said at least one feeder. 10. A method according to claim 2, wherein the step of moving the movable table comprises rotating a rotary table as the movable table. 11. A method according to claim 2, wherein the step of moving the movable table comprises moving a linearly movable table as the movable table, along a straight line as said line. -PATENT]0163368, EP; 1992-336493, JP; 1993-090762, JP; 1993-206641, JP; 1994-045734, JP; 1994-302968, JP; WO99/046813, WO location; the concavely rounded portion also having an outer concavely rounded surface, extending through a lowermost portion of the shoe sole as viewed in a frontal plane, when the shoe sole is upright and not under a bodyweight load, and the concavity being determined with respect to the intended wearer's foot location, the at least one concavely rounded portion of the shoe sole being oriented around at least one of the following parts of said wearer's foot: a head of a first distal phalange, a head of a first metatarsal, a head of a fifth metatarsal, a base of a fifth metatarsal, a lateral tuberosity of a calcaneus, a base of a calcaneus, and a main longitudinal arch: and a shoe sole thickness that is greater in a heel area than a forefoot area, wherein the at least one concavely rounded portion substantially encompasses a bottom of the intended wearers foot sole underneath and orientated around the at least one part of the intended wearer's foot, as viewed in the frontal plane. 12. The shoe sole as set forth in claim 11, wherein said at least one inner and outer concavely rounded surfaces are also concavely rounded when viewed in a sagittal plane, the concavity being determined from the intended wearer's foot location. 13. The shoe sole as set forth in claim 12, wherein said outer concavely rounded surface extends through a lowermost heel area, when viewed in the sagittal plane. 14. The shoe sole as set forth in claim 12, wherein there is a substantially uniform shoe sole thickness extending from a lowermost heel area through a rearmost heel extent, when viewed in the sagittal plane; said shoe sole thickness being defined as the shortest distance between any point on said inner concavely rounded surface and said outer concavely rounded surface, when viewed in the sagittal plane. 15. The shoe sole as set forth in claim 11, wherein said at least one inner and outer concavely rounded surfaces are located at the main longitudinal arch of the wearer's foot and are concavely rounded when viewed in a sagittal plane and in a horizontal plane. 16. The shoe sole as set forth in claim 11, wherein at least one concavely rounded side portion is defined by an inner surface and an outer surface, both surfaces concavely rounded as viewed in the frontal plane, the concavity being determined with respect to the intended wearer's foot sole location; and the at least one concavely rounded side portion adjoins the at least one concavely rounded portion. 17. The shoe sole as set forth in claim 16, wherein said at least one inner and outer concavely rounded surfaces are located at least at a main longitudinal arch and are concavely rounded when viewed in a sagittal plane. 18. The shoe sole as set forth in claim 16, including at least a second concavely rounded side portion, which adjoins the first concavely rounded side portion on the same sole side, with a thickness that is less than that of the first concavely rounded side portion, as measured in another frontal plane cross section, in order to save weight and increase flexibility within the shoe sole. 19. The shoe sole as set forth in claim 11, wherein the shoe sole has a substantially uniform thickness, as measured in a frontal plane cross section, between at least a part of the at least one concavely rounded inner surface and the at least one concavely rounded outer surface; and said shoe sole thickness being defined as the shortest distance between any point on an inner surface of said shoe sole and an outer surface of said shoe sole, when measured in a frontal plane cross section, said inner and outer surfaces therefore being substantially parallel. 20. The shoe sole as set forth in claim 19, wherein the thickness of said at least one concavely rounded portion of the shoe sole, which is substantially uniform when measured in a frontal plan cross section, is different from the thickness of at least a second concavely rounded portion of the shoe sole, when measured
