Abstract: The present invention provides a pressure-sensitive adhesive composition and a method for producing the same. The pressure-sensitive adhesive composition is produced by the combination of at least one free-radically photopolymerizable monomer and at least one set of polyurethane precursors, and a suitable photoinitiation system consisting of at least one salt of a cationic organometallic complex, an additional free-radical photo initiator and the application of sufficient energy to photopolymerize same by sequential exposure to visible electromagnetic radiation and then to ultraviolet electromagnetic radiation.

Abstract: A cartridge containing a single supply reel of magnetic tape is inserted into an adapter which converts the cartridge format to the VHS standard format. The adapter includes an interlock system which prevents the acceptance of the adapter by the VHS machine until the magnetic tape on the supply reel is advanced onto the take-up reel of the adapter.
