A243159
Number of primes whose binary representation has length n and which translates ('inter-base translation') to ternary as a prime.

EXAMPLE
The only binary 5-digit (-bit) primes are decimal 17, 19, 23, 29 and 31; and reading the binary representations of these as base-3 representations instead produces numbers whose decimal representations are 82, 85, 94, 118 and 121. None of these 5 numbers are prime, so a(5)=0.
