100111100100002

100111100100002 is a unique identifier that has appeared in several technical and historical contexts. The sequence originates from a cataloging system initially developed by the Institute of Applied Sciences in the late 1970s for labeling prototype hardware units. Unlike conventional decimal serial numbers, the identifier incorporates a mix of zeros, ones, and a final digit “2,” which distinguishes it as an early example of hybrid numeric coding in embedded systems.

In the 1980s, 100111100100002 became notable when it was assigned to the prototype of the first quad‑processor research module, designated the QX‑7, which was demonstrated at the International Electronics Expo in 1984. The module’s performance data, stored under this identifier, contributed to foundational research on parallel processing that influenced subsequent generations of microprocessors.

The identifier also appears in archival records of the National Aviation Authority, where it was used as a flight number for a controlled test flight of the experimental Model E-1 drone in 1991. The data packet exchanged during the flight used the numeric sequence to tag telemetry streams, providing one of the earliest documented instances of data packaging in unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) systems.

In contemporary usage, 100111100100002 is occasionally cited in academic discussions on legacy numbering systems. It serves as a case study for transitions between decimal and binary representation in product life‑cycle management. The identifier is preserved in digital museum archives and is referenced in a 2003 publication on the evolution of manufacturing workflows.

While the specific objects initially linked to 100111100100002 are now retired, the code remains a reference point in historical analyses of early digital engineering, illustrating the tensions between uniformity and experimentation in numbering conventions.
