%N a(n) = (A001317(2n)-1)/4.

%C a(n) = (A038192(n) - 3)/12 = (A038183(n) - 1)/4, reflecting the fact that, if you look at each row of the Pascal triangle's parity as a binary number (cf. A001317), then the numbers in odd rows are thrice the numbers in even rows.

%C Conjecture: a(2^k) = 2^(2^(k+1)-2). [This conjecture is true. - _Vladimir Shevelev_, Nov 28 2010]

%C Conjectures: lim(n->inf, a(2n+1)/a(2n)) = 5, lim(n->inf, a(4n+2)/a(4n+1)) = 17/5, lim(n->inf, a(8n+4)/a(8n+3)) = 257/85 etc. [This follows from the formula, for n>=0, t>=1: ( 4*a(2^t*n+2^(t-1))+1 )/( 4*a(2^t*n+2^(t-1)-1)+1 ) = 3*F_t/(F_t-2), where F_t= A000215(t) - _Vladimir Shevelev_, Nov 28 2010]
