This circuit triggers an LED when the input signal exceeds the peak, or the value set in RV1. The transistors can be the modern equivalents BC549.
In the figure we have the way to trigger a 7555 CMOS monostable with a positive pulse. The time...
This circuit is from a 1968 documentation. It generates a non-symmetrical signal with the waveform...
This circuit is from the manual of the used operational amplifier itself. The same setting can be...
