"The primary advantages of laser digitizing are that the process is noncontact and fast, and it results in coordinate locations that lie directly on the surface of the digitized object," Hilgers said.

When operated in the attractive, noncontact mode, the deflection requires a minimum time span of several periods of oscillation at the relevant resonance frequency.

XRF has advantages over other methods of thickness measurement in that it is a noncontact technique and because of its capability for elemental discrimination.
Academic text (1998) -
The tapping mode is a compromise between the contact and noncontact modes: because the tip makes contact with the sample, the resolution is usually almost as good as in contact mode, but because the contact is very brief, the damage caused by shear forces is almost completely eliminated.

In other words, neither the validity nor the utility of the noncontact molestation category has been established, at least for understanding the relationship of CSA to women's adjustment.

However, if the experience of noncontact sexual abuse is not related to elevated levels of adjustment problems compared to not being sexually abused (Haugaard & Emery, 1989), adding this category to the definition would not increase the overall relation of CSA to adjustment.

When we compared the five- and six-level measures of CSA, including boyfriends and friends as perpetrators, each severity level of sexual abuse, with the exception of noncontact molestation, was significantly different from the no sexual abuse group on depression scores.

Etymology
The word noncontact is made of non-, meaning 'not', and contact, meaning 'touch'. So a noncontact device or sport is one that does not touch people or objects, like thermometers or sensors that work without touching the skin.
