a(n) gives the number of 1's that coincide in the binary representation of n and its reverse. For the n in A140900, we have a(n)=0. The number k first appears at n=2^k-1.
Also central terms and right edge of the triangle in A173920: a(n)=A173920(2*n,n)=A173920(n,n). [From Reinhard Zumkeller, Mar 04 2010]
a(n) = sum(A030308(n,k)*A030308(n,A070939(n)-1-k): k = 0..A070939(n)-1). - Reinhard Zumkeller, Mar 10 2013

EXAMPLE
14 is represented by the binary vector (1,1,1,0). The reverse is (0,1,1,1). The inner product is 1*0+1*1+1*1+0*1 = 2. Hence a(14) = 2.
