The Hankel-transform relation for Rueppel complements and first differences

From papers

Let rnr_n be the Rueppel sequence. Let HnH_n be the Hankel transform of the sequence 1rn1-r_n, and let hnh_n be the Hankel transform of the first-difference sequence rn+1rnr_{n+1}-r_n. Rueppel complement-difference conjecture. Then

hn=Hn+1Hn.|h_n|=\sqrt{|H_{n+1}|-|H_n|}.

The paper notes analogous relations for the Catalan and Motzkin numbers, but gives no proof or resolution for the Rueppel relation.
