New in Mathematica 9 is MaxDetect[].
As an example:
rr = Abs[Zeta[1/2 + I*t]]/t^(1/4)
Abs[Zeta[1/2 + I t]]/t^(1/4)
kk = Table[rr, {t, 1, 1000}] // N;
In[5866]:= MaxDetect[kk, .5]
Out[5866]= {1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, \
0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, \
0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0, \
0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, \
0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 1}
