Mains Voltage Monitor
Many electronics hobbyists will have experienced the following: you try to finish a project late at night, and the mains supply fails. Whether that is caused by the electricity board or your carelessness isn’t really important. In any case, at such times you may find yourself without a torch or with flat batteries. There is no need to panic, as this circuit provides an emergency light. When the mains fails, the mains voltage monitor turns on five super bright LEDs, which are fed from a 9 V battery (NiCd or NiMH) or 7 AA cells. A buzzer has also been included, which should wake you from your sleep when the mains fails.
You obviously wouldn’t want to oversleep because your clock radio had reset, would you? When the mains voltage is present, the battery is charged via relay Re1, diode D8 and resistor R10. D8 prevents the battery voltage from powering the relay, and makes sure that the relay switches off when the mains voltage disappears. R10 is chosen such that the charging current of the battery is only a few milliamps. This current is small enough to prevent over-charging the battery. D6 acts as a mains indicator. When the relay turns off, IC1 receives power from the battery. The JK flip-flops are set via R12 and C4.
Circuit diagram:
Mains Voltage Monitor Circuit Diagram
This causes T1 and T2 to conduct, which turns on D1-D5 and the buzzer. When the push button is pressed, a clock pulse appears on the CLK input of flip-flop IC1b. The output then toggles and the LEDs turn off. At the same time IC1a is reset, which silences the buzzer. If you press the button again, the LEDs will turn on since IC1b receives another clock pulse. The buzzer remains off because IC1a stays in its reset state. R11, R3 and C3 help to debounce the push button signal. In this way the circuit can also be used as a torch, especially if a separate mains adapter is used as the power supply.
As soon as the mains voltage is restored, the relay turns on, the LEDs turn off and the battery starts charging. The function of R13 is to discharge C4, preparing the circuit for the next mishap. If mains failures are a regular occurrence, we recommend that you connect pairs of LEDs in series. The series resistors should then have a value of 100 ?. This reduces the current consumption and therefore extends the battery life. This proves very useful when the battery hasn’t recharged fully after the last time. In any case, you should buy the brightest LEDs you can get hold of. If the LEDs you use have a maximum current of 20 mA, you should double the value of the series resistors! You could also consider using white LEDs.

2013 Toyota Verso Review
With the 2013 Toyota Verso has a family van in the offer that has already been distinguished by its generous space and the good price / performance ratio. The facelift brought the hitherto rather staid Van a good portion dynamics. Toyota has in fact especially the front section assumed that now follows the new design line Toyota and the Van is not only a very individual character, but it can also act as very high quality and sporty.
Verso with the popular 2.0-liter diesel engine with 124 hp elected in the upscale lounge facilities. Toyota Verso with ABS, ESP, 7 airbags, 17 "alloy wheels, xenon headlights with LED daytime running lights, LED tail lights, electrically adjustable, heated and foldable exterior mirrors, a parking aid front and rear, rear view camera, cruise control, electric windows front and rear, a front center armrest, the Toyota Touch system with 6.1 "touch screen, a 2-zone climate control, a cooled glove box, a CD radio with AUX-in and USB connection, 6 speakers and more much more.
The changes in the interior are down only slightly the facelift, but in sum, the revised Verso has a much higher quality. Was revised especially the center console, which now houses the new Toyota Touch system with 6.1 "touch screen. Moreover, the Verso has also received lots of chrome trim elements in the Lounge version, which gives the interior a sporty touch. On require some getting used to at first glance to be the center, but towards the driver-oriented fittings, but after a few meters you will find the positioning his favor.
After all, the Verso will look even more spacious, an impression which is perhaps enhanced by the large panoramic roof. Also, the operation of all functions is very simple, only the Toyota Touch system has many idiosyncratic logic. So it is for example not as easy wegzuschalten the traffic, here the driver must laboriously in any submenu and goes looking for it in danger of being equal to itself a report in Traffic.
No reason to complain when there is space available. The 446 cm long Van offers truly princely space. In two rows, larger people comfortably, and the trunk volume is also designed to be very family friendly with 484 liter capacity. At the request of the boot can be increased by folding the rear seats up to 1,575 liters. Many practical shelves round the positive impression of the interior further.
In addition to the interior of the 2.0-liter diesel also turns out as a family friend. The 124 hp (91 kW) engine may be gone from the start convincing with a pleasant smoothness and lively performance. Its maximum torque of 310 Nm, it provides 1600-2400 r / min. For the sprint from 0 to 100 km / h, the Verso 2.0 D-4D then needs 11.3 seconds, top speed is 185 km / h
The motor is especially suited to cross-country trips a good pulling power, which at low speed is too much power in high gears available. The manual 6-speed transmission also can be buttery soft switch and is translated rather long, so you can be on the road quite gearshift and yet economical.
Those who do not so often uses the liveliness of the engine, will come surely looking pretty close to the factory consumption of 4.9 liters. In normal driving mode, not at all hesitant acceleration and driving pleasure present, we have come in our test on 6.2 liters per 100 kilometers. The compact van that is also fun to drive and is very good on the road. To the great surprise are more sporty chassis and suspension tuned, without, however, have significant adverse effects on comfort.
The very light steering could indeed be a bit more direct, but when parking is very good. Through the large windows of the Verso is also very clear, when the parking aid parking maneuvers and the rear camera support in addition.
So the van loses its terror in the city and there is just so good to move as a small car. But as an ideal family transporter, he naturally shows its strengths on the long haul. The noise insulation is up to 110 km / h very good, but then raise the wind and road noise - as so often in Japanese cars that are geared towards other speed limits than ours.
In any case, the facelifted Toyota Verso has a very positive effect. He has kept its strengths, has improved in detail and can mainly has set a truly dynamic appearance. The generous space and good facilities in combination with the fair price can be sure not only the heart beat of the family head, even for the practical Van Company can be an alternative to other vehicles.
The economical diesel allows for very smooth performance, in combination with the suspension set for a car of this class a lot of fun.

2013 New Ford Ranger
Ford has a long tradition in the pick-up segment, which extends back to 1917. Instead of pure workhorse of modern pick-ups but are much more lifestyle-made cars, which have retained the old qualities.
The best example is the all- 2013 new Ford Ranger, the charge-quality cars and brings comfort to a common denominator. Gone are the days of the cane-brake and hand the Spartan interior with truck-feeling.
In the style of the brand is how the new Ranger in "kinetic design" and has been at first very high quality and modern. The interior benefits from a stylish design and is located on an average passenger car, as far as features and convenience.
As standard, the Ranger has been here about the new all-wheel drive, which can be switched up to a speed of 120 km / h. For extreme terrain there is then the knob for the four-wheel drive position "4L", which leads to its reduction to the Ranger and through difficult terrain.
On board, a hill-start assist, a hill descent control, an emergency brake assist, ESP, ABS, a trailer stabilization, 7 airbags, audio system, electrically adjustable and heated door mirrors and electric windows in front.
Excluding Double Cab XLT trim levels, the three higher, Limited and Wildtrak is available. The XLT comes standard with the 2.2 liter TDCi already with 150 hp (110 kW) on the market and can also be combined with an automatic transmission.
also be looking forward more than a higher-quality audio system with 4.2 "multi-function display, a 2-zone automatic climate control, electrically folding exterior mirrors, electrically adjustable driver seat, leather seats, park distance control rear and 17" alloy wheels.
st.) at the dealer and have the 3.2 liter TDCi 200 PS (147 kW) under the hood, and additionally the Ford navigation system with 5 "monitor, roof rails, 18" alloy wheels, a rear-view camera and part-leather seats Wildtrak decor on board.
For a first outing, we have chosen the 150-horsepower diesel engine in combination with the limited equipment. The 535.9 cm grown pick-up gives the same ambience as the sporty Ford car models designed fittings and good clarity characterize the cockpit of Ranger.
With the comfortable leather seats, front center armrest and a separately adjustable climate control also has plenty of luxury you on board. Unfortunately, the beautiful leather steering wheel and not only in height adjustable in length, which spoils the overall impression of something positive.

Meanwhile, the trio of smaller MPVs from Chevrolet, Kia, and Mazda combined for a 26% decline in October to just 723 units. This means the whole sub-segment was outsold not only by the Grand Caravan but by the Toyota Sienna and Honda Odyssey, as well. Both those latter vans posted modest increases in October.
Not so modest, at least on a percentage scale, was the new Kia Sedonas 174% leap. That gain, a meaningful one, equalled 82 extra Sedona sales for Kias Canadian stores. But keep in mind, the far more trivial-sounding 9% increase at Dodge translated to 322 extra sales.
