Is a physicist probably best known for the development of ion-storage devices and methods for accurate measurements of nuclear masses. In the early eighties Jürgen Kluge at the University of Mainz considered mass measurements of trapped ions. Gernot Gräff, who worked at the same institute, had developed a time-of-flight technique for the determination of the electron–proton mass ratio from the respective cyclotron-resonance frequencies. During this period the determination of the fundamental properties of the electron was of the highest interest. This included the measurement of the g-factor of the free electron, again with a Penning trap, for which Hans Dehmelt eventually won the Nobel Prize in physics in 1989. Jürgen decided to apply Gräff’s method to the determination of masses of unstable nuclei

Was a German researcher of electrical engineering. In 1883 he patented the "Pendelzähler" - the first accurate watt-hour meter. The meter contained two pendulum clocks, with coils around their pendulum bobs. One was accelerated and the other slowed in proportion to the current used. A differential gear mechanism measured the difference in speed between the two clocks and counted this on a series of dials.[3] The first meters used clockwork clocks that required manual winding monthly. Later models were self-winding by electricity.[3] This meter was introduced into Great Britain by Hugo Hirst, and made and sold by his General Electric Company from 1888.[4]
