A129602 In the binary expansion of n replace each run of k 0's (or 1's) with 2k-1 0's (or 1's), except in the most significant run where we double the number of 0's (or 1's).
0, 3, 6, 15, 24, 13, 30, 63, 96, 49, 26, 55, 120, 61, 126, 255, 384, 193, 98, 199, 104, 53, 110, 223, 480, 241, 122, 247, 504, 253, 510, 1023, 1536, 769, 386, 775, 392, 197, 398, 799, 416, 209, 106, 215, 440, 221, 446, 895, 1920, 961, 482, 967, 488, 245, 494

Examples
a(1) = 3, as 1 is 1 in binary and doubling the number of 1's (in the only run) gives binary 11, 3 in decimal. a(9) = 49, as 9 is 1001 in binary and replacing the most significant run '1' with '11' and the center run '00' with '000' and the least significant run '1' with '1', we get 110001 in binary, 49 in decimal.
