Kloss (pronounced with a long o, like "close") was an undergraduate student in physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (class of 1953), but never received a degree.
He was responsible for a number of innovations, including, in part, the acoustic suspension loudspeaker and the high fidelity cassette deck.

He earned an Emmy Award for his development of a projection television system, the Advent VideoBeam 1000.
