Provided are a welding device and a welding method that can avoid occurrence of a clearance in a side region of a member and suppress occurrence of a failure of the member due to such a clearance. The embodiment includes: an electrode 11 configured to supply electricity to an electroconductive element 23 arranged between members 21, 22 and configured to generate heat by current conduction; and a pressing element 12 arranged in a side region of one member 22 of the members 21, 22 and configured to press the electroconductive element 23 while elastically being in close contact with the one member 22. Further, the pressing element 12 comes into close contact with the one member 22 by being pushed against the electroconductive element 23 and expanding in a direction orthogonal to a pushing direction.

Apparatus and methods are described including an additional lens (24) made from an amorphous viscoelastic material and having an optical design. A curvature of the additional lens (24) is changed such as to conform with a curvature of abase eyeglasses lens (22), without causing a loss of the optical design of the additional lens (24), by heating the additional lens (24) to a temperature at which a Tan Delta of the amorphous viscoelastic material is between 0.2 and 0.8, and shaping the additional lens (24). Subsequently, the additional lens (24) is adhered to the base eyeglasses lens (22).

Disclosed is an elastomeric bladder tool and related systems and methods. In one embodiment, the elastomeric bladder tool comprises an elastomeric inner layer substantially defining an inner cavity of the elastomeric bladder tool, an elastomeric outer layer substantially defining an outer surface of the elastomeric bladder tool, and a permeable middle layer positioned between the elastomeric inner layer and the elastomeric outer layer. The permeable middle layer has greater permeability than both the elastomeric outer layer and the elastomeric inner layer to allow for evacuating of gases that have entered the permeable middle layer.
