There are 3 way to simply increase the regulator voltage.

1/ Add a series zener or diodes or a mixture in the common leg. Most makes of
regulator put about 50uA down the common leg, this may affect the zener/diode
drop. A pull up R of a few kê from the zener to the output could be needed with
slightly leaky zeners/diode to get the desired drop.

Thermal stability fair, as it is dependent on Reg + Zener, 3 Ä 5V zeners
generally have the best stability!

If the diode is an LED, the voltage increase could be 1 Ä 1.5V depending on the
colour & current fed through it.

Thermal stability poor, as it is dependent on Reg + diode, the diode drop will
alter quite a lot hot to cold.

Thermal stability poor as it is dependent on Reg + Zener + diodes,


2/ Add a series R in the common leg. Most makes of regulator put about 50uA
constant current down the common leg, so a small R can uplift the voltage.

Thermal stability is good, as it is dependent on Reg + the constant current
through the R, but that will be regulator make dependent. 

3/ Add a voltage offset ratio arm. The 330 & 1k pot give a zero to 4x max ratio
arm, that magnifies the regulator voltage by up to 4 times, plus any voltage
gained by adding resistance in series with the common leg.

Thermal stability good, as it is dependent on Reg/multiplier ratio.


NOTES
A/ For all 3 types the input must always exceed the O/P by at least 2V so that
the regulator's drop out voltage is always exceeded. There are low drop out
types available (0.3V - 1V).

B/ The maximium input voltage must not exceed the regulator max (e.g. 40V)
othewise it may well go short circuit & put 40V on the Output!

C/ Many regulator types have Thermal shutdown & the current rating of 100mA,
0.5A or 1A may be limited by poor heatsinking in practice. The higher the head
room voltage the more power has to be dissipated.
 
D/ The metal tabs must be insulated as they are connected to the regulator
common on positive types, which in not ground! They are also the most negative
part of a regulator so for -ve types that means the -ve input!

E/ If there is a possibility that the O/P may be powered but the input not, a
diode must be put output to input across the regulator to protect it.
