We report the results of a 440-day search for gravitational waves with a single 3.6×106-g aluminum 710-Hz room-temperature detector. The detector output was analyzed in real time using a microcomputer system. With the exception of a single large event, not observed by the much more sensitive antenna at Stanford University, the spectrum of events was thermal with an effective temperature Te~6.0 K. This data implies a 90%-confidence-level upper limit of 5×10-3 events per day above 114 GPU for an average gravitational-wave orientation and polarization (one gravitational pulse unit =105 erg cm-2Hz-1). This is the lowest limit set on the rate of gravitational radiation bursts to date.
