A robotized laparoscopic system capable of executing commands of an operating surgeon is provided. The laparoscopic system includes a cylindrical tube inserted through an incision. A small-sized camera is attached to one end of the tube to capture the images of the surgical site. A bending portion is adapted to bend the tip of the tube in any direction. A driving unit controls a bending direction and a bending angle of the bending portion. A movement device moves the tube forward or backward in a longitudinal direction. A control unit independently controls the driving unit and the movement device. An input unit receives commands from the surgeon. A conversion unit converts the command input from the surgeon into digital signals and transmits the digital signals to the control unit. A support unit supports the weight of the movement device by being connected to an operating table or the floor.

The lid with re-closable spout invention can be used with a hot and/or cold beverage container or other fluid container. The lid fits onto the container as is known in the art. The lid includes a spout formed on the lid and extending from the lid which allows one to access the contents of the fluid container. The spout can be positioned in a closed position wherein it is folded in to prevent the contents of the fluid container from exiting the spout. The spout may be locked into a closed position. In a second, open position, the spout is folded out to allow the fluid within the fluid container to be poured out of the fluid container through the spout. After use and/or between uses, the spout can be re-closed and re-sealed. The spout can be any desired configuration including generally square or rectangular, or generally cylindrical. The sealing means can be a zipper-type engagement formed on the upper edge of the spout.
