I didn't get the inner pattern until I saw your extended list.  At 558 I finally got it.  Your flipping the middle and changing to a 1 and 0 outside of it.  When you have a series of 1's and 0's, your flipping them all and changing to a 1 and 0 outside of it. 

Charlie probably already got it, but what the heck.  The following numbers should be  796, 812, 852, 868, 920, 936, 976, 992, 1086, .......
