Abstract: The present invention provides processes for the preparation of 3-aryloxy-3-arylpropylamines and intermediates thereof using an nucleophilic aromatic displacement in 1,3-dimethyl-2-imidazolidinone or N-methylpyrrolidinone.

Abstract: A faucet assembly having a spray nozzle connected to a spray hose. A weight attached to the spray hose provides a downward force to nest the spray nozzle. The weight includes an open channel extending longitudinally across a length of the weight and two members having external threads extending from the weight and positioned on opposing sides of the open channel. A hex nut including internal threads engages the external threads of the two members, such that the fastener extends over the open channel to secure the weight onto the spray hose.

Abstract: A holding device for disc-shaped semiconductor elements on a supporting wheel, particularly a rotating semiconductor device, is disclosed and includes two clamping members between which the semiconductor element is gripped by its end faces. At least one electrical connection is also between the clamping members. The holding device further comprises a resilient member for producing a contact pressure. The clamping members, the semiconductor element and possibly the associated cooling elements are preferably disposed as a fully assembled structural unit in recesses at the outer periphery of the supporting wheel.
