 The singular chains of the $n$-dimensional surgery cylinder operad act on blob cochains.
-Since the little $n{+}1$-balls operad is a suboperad of the $n$-SC operad,
-this implies that the little $n{+}1$-balls operad acts on blob cochains of the $n$-ball.

-By the `blob cochains' of a manifold $X$, we mean the $A_\infty$ maps of $\bc_*(X)$ as a $\bc_*(\bdy X)$ $A_\infty$-module.

+The general case when $n=1$ goes beyond the original Deligne conjecture, as the $M_i$'s and $N_i$'s
+could be disjoint unions of 1-balls and circles, and the surgery cylinders could be high genus surfaces.
+
+If all of the $M_i$'s and $N_i$'s are $n$-balls, then $SC^n_{\overline{M}, \overline{N}}$
+contains a copy of the little $(n{+}1)$-balls operad.
