Patent ID: 8313037

Claim:
A Magnetic Strip Data (MSD) simulator card system comprising: a) a storage device having a means for inputting data received from a magnetic card reader, a means for outputting an analog signal therefrom, and a means for recording images thereon; b) a MSD simulator card having a means for temporarily receiving the analog signal thereon, a magnetic strip, and a means for converting said analog signal into a series of magnetic pulses operable to be output to a magnetic strip card reading device; c) a means for transferring said analog signal from said storage device to said simulator card, d) said MSD simulator card having at least one “T” shaped core comprising a horizontal strip portion and vertical stem portion, the core portions being coil wrapped such that overlapping of the coil wrapped portions creates a flux leakage increasing gap, and said coil being operable to output the series of magnetic pulses to the magnetic card reader through the magnetic strip.
