	What's With this Magnetic Stripe Stuff
		Magnetic stripe technology has been around for a long time but many things are changing in the technology and many of the old reasons for not using it are no longer valid.
		If you consider that magnetic stripes have been used since the early 1960s on transit tickets and since the 1970s for bank cards and that the same technology continues to be used on bank cards then maybe we need something new.
		As a summary on magnetic stripe, we have seen that the technology offers the ability to change data in the field, that data storage is available that will exceed most requirements, that it is easy to use, the cost is very low, and that full security is available if required.

	Encyclopedia: Magnetic stripe card
		Magnetic stripes are used in credit cards, cost control cards, copy machine cards and so on.
		The stripe on the back of a magcard is a magnetic stripe, often called a magstripe.
		Low-coercivity magstripes require a lower amount of magnetic energy to record, and hence the card writers are much cheaper than machines which are capable of recording high-coercivity magstripes.

	Magnetic Stripe FAQs (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Another stripe with low squareness may have a higher nominal coercivity but because there may be a large proportion of low coercivity particles it may be very easy to erase the stripe.
		The properties of the magnetic stripe are all defined during the manufacturing process.
		Some magnetic stripes have coatings over the stripe to protect the stripe from abrasion thus prolonging the life of the stripe on the card or ticket.

	MAKstripe - Magnetic Stripe Card Reader Writer, Blank Magnetic Strip Cards
		In case of magnetic stripe card readers, which do contain a decoder chip, the data will be decoded and the signal will be submitted time delayed through two data lines (data and clock) to the PC, where further processing is performed.
		Beyond the usual data decoding, the exact signals on a magnetic stripe card can be read, and with the graphical representation of this data you can identify in one look the data modulation, signal quality, and various schemes of non-standard tracks, that are used for authentication purposes.
		The reason herefore is that after the magnetic stripe card has touched the magnetic head, the swiping speed decreases rapidly for a short period of time until the magnetic head has raised and taken it's correct place on the card.

	Introduction to Magnetic Stripe
		Smart cards differ from magnetic stripe cards in two ways: the amount of information that can be stored is much greater, and some smart cards can be reprogrammed to add, delete or rearrange data.
		Credit cards were first issued in 1951, but it wasn’t until the establishment of standards in 1970 that the magnetic stripe became a factor in the use of the cards.
		A magnetic stripe is the fl or brown stripe that you see on your credit card, or maybe the back of your airline ticket or transit card.

		The basic differences, of course, are that the magnetic material is applied to a paper or plastic card or ticket and data is stored on the stripe instead of sound or images.
		In the past, magnetic stripe materials could be damaged by powerful refrigerator magnets and other common sources of magnetic fields.
		Today, however, high coercivity magnetic stripe media is available that is virtually immune to inadvertent magnetic damage (although using a magnet to put your credit card on the refrigerator is still a bad idea).

	magnetic stripe reader - a Whatis.com definition - see also: magstripe reader, magnetic strip reader
		Magnetic stripe readers can be read by a computer program through a serial port, USB connection, or keyboard wedge, and are generally categorized by the way they read a badge.
		Information is written on the stripe by magnetizing the tiny bars in either a north or south pole direction with a special electromagnetic writer, called an encoder.
		The magnetic stripe reader reads the information by detecting the changes in the magnetic field caused by the flux reversals on the badge's magnetic stripe.

		Magnetic stripe technology uses electromagnetic charges to encode information on a stripe of magnetic tape (similar to audio tape), that is laminated to a plastic card.
		Coercivity (also known as energy) is defined as the magnetism needed to erase the information encoded on the magnetic stripe and is expressed in units called oersted.

		When making the magstripe media, the elemental magnetic particles are aligned with their North-South axes parallel to the magnetic stripe by means of an external magnetic fields while the binder hardens.
		Magnetic pigments are available in a variety of coercivities (more on that later on).
		The coercivity is the magnetic field strength required to demagnetize an encoded stripe, and therefore determines the encode head field strength required to encode the stripe.

	Controlling campus access control costs with dual technology card reader solutions (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		An identification number is encoded onto the stripe on the back the card and the card reader reads the data and performs the appropriate function (open a door, debit an account or record a transaction).
		In order to change a complete infrastructure based on magnetic stripe some campuses have installed transition or combination card readers that are able to read both magnetic stripe and proximity cards.
		By installing a dual technology card reader, proximity cards could be issued to cadets, instructors, and permanent staff while lower cost magnetic stripe cards are used for the hundreds of contractors that work on the campus for limited time spans.
