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.

Abstract: A method for ceramming a glass article to a glass-ceramic includes placing a glass article into a heating apparatus, and heating the glass article to a first hold temperature at a first predetermined heating rate. The glass article is held at the first hold temperature for a first predetermined duration.

The glass article is then heated from the first hold temperature to a second hold temperature at a second predetermined heating rate. The glass article is held at the second hold temperature for a second duration. A density of the glass article is monitored from the heating of the glass article from the first hold temperature through the second duration, and the second duration is ended when an absolute value of a density rate of change of the glass article is less than or equal to 0.10 (g/cm3)/min.
