Claim Text:
1. A micro-electro-mechanical detection structure, comprising: a substrate having a first surface in a plane; a first anchorage element and a second anchorage element projecting from and fixed with respect to the substrate; a translating mass suspended over the substrate and moveable in a first direction that is transverse to the plane; first and second elastic anchorage elements; a first tilting mass coupled to the first anchorage element by the first elastic anchorage element, the first tilting mass including a first supporting mass and a first supporting arm, the supporting mass facing a first side of the translating mass, the first supporting arm facing at least a second side of the translating mass, the first mass being configured to rotate with respect to a first axis; a second tilting mass coupled to the second anchorage element by the second elastic anchorage element, the second tilting mass including a second supporting mass and a second supporting arm, the second supporting mass facing a third side of the translating mass, the second supporting arm facing at least a fourth side of the translating mass, the second mass being configured to rotate with respect to a second axis, the first and second axes being substantially parallel to each other; a fixed electrode facing at a distance at least one of the first and second tilting masses and the translating mass; and elastic supporting elements elastically coupling the translating mass to the first and second tilting masses, respectively.
