The invention provides a flexible abrasive product comprising a flexible sheet-like substrate comprising a multiplicity of separated resilient bodies connected to each other in a generally planar array in a pattern which provides open spaces between adjacent connected bodies, each body having a first surface and an opposite second surface; and abrasive particles to cause at least the first surface to be an abrasive surface. A method of making the abrasive is provided by providing the substrate and providing abrasive particles to at least the first surface to provide an abrasive surface.

The implant includes an outer layer of ePTFE which exhibits extensibility normally not associated with ePTFE. The ePTFE is reduced in length by deforming the fibrils between the nodes while maintaining the nodes in a substantially flat configuration. Various implant configurations that can include the outer layer described are also disclosed.

An adjustable pedal device including (a) a support shaft fixedly disposed on a bracket, (b) a pedal including a pivotal member and a pedal member, and a return spring interposed between the bracket and the pedal member, and wherein the pivotal member is pivotable about the support shaft, while the pedal member is movable relative to the pivotal member to a selected one of a plurality of relative positions, and has at its lower end an operating portion at which the pedal member is operated so that the pedal member and the pivotal member are pivoted together about the support shaft, the return spring biasing the pedal member so as to pivot the pedal about the support shaft in a first direction toward a non-operated position of the pedal, and producing a force of resistance to a pivotal motion of the pedal in a second direction away from the non-operated position when the pedal is operated, and wherein the positions of opposite end portions of the return spring at which the spring is fixed to the bracket and the pedal member are determined such that a length of an arm of a moment produced by the spring to bias the pedal in the first direction changes so as to reduce an amount of change of the force of resistance, as the pedal member is moved relative to the pivotal member.

When the accelerator opening degree becomes equal to or smaller than an increase amount cancel threshold value (timing t2) while the depression force of an accelerator pedal 2 is increased than a base depression force by a predetermined increase amount of the depression force, the predetermined increase amount of the depression force is decreased at a predetermined rate, and moreover, when the accelerator opening degree becomes greater than a predetermined accelerator opening degree threshold value (timing t3) while the predetermined increase amount of the depression force is decreased, the depression force of the accelerator pedal 2 is increased with respect to the base depression force so that the increase amount of the depression force with respect to the base depression force becomes greater than the predetermined increase amount of the depression force.
