How to program efficient pattern searches in a list of float numbers?

Simple case: In this list, how to find all occurences of intervals of n adjacent indexes having at least one list-member with a value between given limits. Visualizing the list as a two-dimensional curve, this is like horizontally dragging a given rectangle over the curve and finding the x coordina
