Mains Supply Failure Alarm - Whenever AC mains supply fails, this circuit alerts you by sounding an alarm. It also provides a backup light to help you find your way to the torch or the generator key in the dark. The circuit is powered directly by a 9V PP3/6F22 compact battery. Pressing of switch S1 provides the 9V power supply to the circuit. A red LED (LED2), in conjunction with zener diode ZD1 (6V), is used to indicate the battery power level. __ Learning Electronics

Medical timer warns when pills are due - 05/10/01 EDN-Design Ideas Some people need to take medication at precise, regular intervals. When you're in a hospital, a medical staff is present to ensure that you take your medication on time. But when you're taking medication at home, you must frequently look at the clock-a clear annoyance. When my wife was pregnant, she needed to take medication every two hours from 8 am to 10 pm. To help her time the two-hour intervals, I built the battery-powered circuit in Figure 1. The circuit derives its power from a 9V PP3 battery. All the ICs are CMOS
-based; the low power consumption of the circuit allows one-week autonomy. When you press the start button, BP1, a two-hour delay commences. Design by J Terrade

Midnight Security Light - Most thefts happen after midnight hours when people enter the second phase of sleep called ‘paradoxical’ sleep. Here is an energy-saving circuit that causes the thieves to abort the theft attempt by lighting up the possible sites of intrusion (such as kitchen or backyard of your house) at around 1:00 am. It automatically resets in the morning. The circuit is fully automatic and uses a CMOS
IC CD 4060 to get the desired time delay. Light-dependent resistor LDR1 controls reset pin 12 of IC1 for its automatic action. __ Electronics Projects for You

Mini Alarm-Suitable for doors & windows, Portable anti-bag-snatching unit - This circuit, enclosed in a small plastic box, can be placed into a bag or handbag. A small magnet is placed close to the reed switch and connected to the hand or the clothes of the person carrying the bag by means of a tiny cord. If the bag is snatched abruptly, the magnet looses its contact with the reed switch, SW1 opens, the circuit starts oscillating and the loudspeaker emits a loud alarm sound. A complementary transistor-pair is wired as a high efficiency oscillator, directly driving a small loudspeaker. Low part-count and 3V battery supply allow a very compact construction. __ Learning Electronics
Miniature Loop Alarm - A few months ago, I decided to build a compact, yet effective alarm. My demands were:- simple construction, reliable operation, very small power consumption, and, most of all, small size. I started with CMOS
logic gates, but was soon forced to abandon the concept after a few unsuccessful (and far too complicated) attempts. Then I suddenly realized that a simple transistor switch might do the job and I was right.
