While landing under a parachute canopy, the jumper's feet strike the ground first and, immediately, they let their legs collapse, with the body following sideways to distribute the landing shock sequentially along five points of body contact with the ground: the balls of the feet; the side of the calf; the side of the thigh
A point of contact (POC) or single point of contact (SPOC) is a person or a department serving as the coordinator or focal point of information concerning an activity or program. A POC is used in many cases where information is time-sensitive and accuracy is important.
The microscopic origin of contact forces is diverse. Normal force is directly a result of Pauli exclusion principle and not a true force per se: Everyday objects do not actually touch each other; rather, contact forces are the result of the interactions of the electrons at or near the surfaces of the objects.

Grab describes the physical process of balancing rocks as "basically looking for points where they lock on one another", saying that three points of contact are required between stones, with the placed rock's center of mass having to be between those points for it to balance. [2]
A Contact Region is a concept in robotics which describes the region between an object and a robot’s end effector. This is used in object manipulation planning, and with the addition of sensors built into the manipulation system, can be used to produce a surface map or contact model of the object being grasped.

The point where the line of action crosses the line between the two centres is called the pitch point of the gears. The sliding contact friction is zero at this point. The distance actually covered on the line of action is then called line of contact. The line of contact begins at the intersection between the line of action and the addendum ...
