Subject: The Name "Gauss" used to describe magnetic cannon.

I'm not an expert on Magnetic Flux Density so perhaps someone can help me
out.
Several Futuristic RPG games like "Battletech" created a magnetic gun
called a "Gauss Rifle" or "Gauss Gun". The gun uses metal slugs propelled
by a series of Magnets along a tube. Basically a rail gun.
Question 1:
So... Is it proper to be calling this gun a "Gauss Gun"? (I did a history
search on several scientist named Gauss, so I do believe I know who it is
named after though not 100% sure)
A (computer) game that I'm testing uses a "Gauss" cannon as part of the
arsenal. However, the developer of the game decided that the Gauss cannon
was Gas compression based instead of Magnetic.
Question 2,
Between the two, which is correct? A "Gauss" cannon that uses gas or
magnetism?
Are either correct?
P.S. This maybe the wrong forum, so please pardon and be kind when
answering.
Subject: "catalog" of MR images?

Hi,
I am involved in some work on synthetc MR image generation and our team feels
that it would greatly help our validations if we could get our hands
on several MR images of the same person and the same imaged region under
different settings of TE,TR for the spin-echo technique. Not just the usual
2-3 images, but say, about 6-10 images (the more the better). Does anyone know
if there is some such "catalog" for want of a better word? If there is,
would it be possible to get these, and from where? Please advise by sending
mail to: maitra@biostat.washington.edu
Thanks,
Ranjan
