Abstract: A pipe insulation is formed from multiple discrete sheets of fiberglass that are wetted with a binder composition. The sheets are spiral wound around a mandrel in a partially overlapping fashion. The wound sheets are further processed to interface with one another and form a unitary elongated cylinder. The binder in the elongated cylinder is then cured to form the pipe insulation.

Abstract: A system allows translation across API models represented using different API description languages. The system stores model bindings from a common visualization model format to multiple API description languages. The model bindings map constructs of the API description language to and from modeling constructs of the common visualization model format. The system uses the model bindings to convert API models to and from representations based on API description languages to the common visualization model format. The system used the common visualization model format to generate visualizations of the API model that can be displayed via a user interface and also allow users to modify the API model.
